Default Another 2-Channel Amplifier Option

Hey guys here is another amplifier option for you guys that only need 2 channels of audio. Image dynamics is best know for their great quality SQ speakers and subs offer a very small full range class D amp. With a retail of $299.99. Which is a $100 less then the Rockford Fosgate T400x2 and about the same size. Ive used these in cars where space is limited and they perform very well.

50 amp fuse would indicate it probably does rated. S/N ratio is a little low. Other than that it looks to be solid! Keep in mind this amp would compete with the Cerwin Vega B52. A lot cheaper with more power. $179 retail on Amazon vs. $299 for the Image Dynamics amp. 200W@ 4ohms vs. 150W @ 4ohms. I've always loved the Image Dynamic speakers. They are just so dam expensive. The Image Dynamics XS-69's are $619 from Sonic. Killer speakers! Never the less great info man! I'll add that amp to my long list of amps to test. That is if HAZE doesn't buy it first. . .lol

Ha! I was already looking at it earlier. Sonic has it for 249!

The layout is exactly like the B2 and Diamond Audio Micro2. Probably same/similar board, perhaps higher grade internals. The B2 and Micro2 I thought were both great....this one must be similar and just as good coming from ID.

Sonic shows model number MQ150.2. If this is the same amp as posted above, it also comes with a free wiring kit.

Yeah the the ID speakers are great. I'm doing a dodge challenger package using the XS-69 for the front and IDq12D2 v.4 for the sub in the rear. I will be using these amps (MQ-150.2) to power the sub 500rms@4ohms. Sonic electronics and woofer ect will always say something is in stock or they have 1 left then say they are out. then ask you if you would like another option that is in stock. I used to have people all the time tell me that story. I have a hook up on these if anyone is interested. check out the type of fiberglass box i will be doing in the dodge challenger with this amp.


10" Image Dynamics IDQ102 V.3 sealed enclosure with vinyl trim cover




Removable stealth grill cover.

Cerwin Vega B52 showed discontinued on sonic electronics website. The MQ-150.2 is new for 2015. They are also coming out with a 4ch soon.

Yeah Cerwin and Diamond Audio have a new version out this year the B52. Odd that it's discontinued as it was the replacement for the B2.
