Cost effective Class D Amps for live sound

[peterjohnswindley]

Hi there,

I'm looking for an amplifier (possibly a complete plate amplifier) to supply about 500W @8Ohms. It needs to take rough handing and transport. This project is a subwoofer, but other projects will probably arise.

What I'd ideally like is something very reliable and reasonable sounding on a fairly low budget. Really, I don't want to spend more than £200-£250 for a fully working unit. Does such a product exist? Or can it be assembled from parts?

I've looked at brands like Dayton audio, but I happen to know their amps were used in some speakers I own, and they've gone wrong twice.

Thanks,
Peter

Take a look at the Crown amps. Not plate amps but may fill the bill.

Ah- I didn't make myself clear, sorry-

It needs to be something I can mount to the cabinet - a powered speaker.

Thanks.

Maybe a Bash 500S. I don't know it, but Bash are generally well regarded for the price.
