Question on mobile amps

[Deano814]

Hi, I’m new to the world of Cbs and I’m running a Stryker 665 and was wonder what kinda amp I could run with it. Not looking for crazy power just a little more. I hoping to find one that would be able to mount to the bottom side of my Cb. Thanks

have you checked out the RM italy Amps. they are pretty good and inexpensive. check CB world' Gi Joes radios or 88 radio for prices the sponsor us.

Can they handle 100 watts? Thanks I will look at them

[295 antenna]

no they cannot . But you can put one to 6 watts in and get alot more out. If you looking for something you can put 100 watts in i don't think many amps handle that high of an input well. They stryker has a variable power correct ? Im mean you said you wanted just a little more ?

Texas star makes some great amps also but they still wont take 100 watt input

[Deano814]

Yes I can turn rd output down but I don’t know what the lowest power output would be. I don’t have to test.

[Deano814]

My low rms is 15 watts. That’s with the power all the way down. I was looking for a Palomar 450hd or something comparable

I use the RM Italy KL-503, I have my Galaxy DX959 set for a 1 watt dk swinging to about 12 watts. And with the kl-503 i get about 300 watts output.

OK Im thinking you'll need at least a straight four pill to handle that And that's a lot more output. The Rm Italy will not handle that .None of those models will.

Dead key is 1.5 swings to 50 on lowest rf power. Ok I will look at 4 pill. Those are pretty large sized amps. Maybe I will just be happy with what I got going on

I agree... I would go with a high performance skip shooting amplifier for that high of a drive.

I like davemade, myself

Thanks for the input guys. Much appreciated

You are welcome...

Yep. The Stryker 665 has 4 mosfet finals, about equal to a dual final radio...Your going to need something like a straight 4-pill or 6-pill to run with it...A Texas Star 500V would work, or one of the Custom box's like Davemade or XForce maybe... and then your going to be looking at around a 450-500w output...

This is another reason I got away from dual final type radios...They cost more, and you limited to what you can run with one...

I get more "Bang for the Buck" running a single final radio (like a stock CB) and pairing it up with a amp that has a driver stage in it (1x2. 1x4)

What I have now in the mobile is a President McKinley, with a 1x2 and see right at 400-450w's and get more complements on how it sounds than I ever did back when I was running my General Lee and a 4-pill or any dual final radios I had in the past doing around 500w.
