ok im at the point where i can finally afford to get a new amp. its great but i can pretty much only get it at bestbuy because for christmas i wanted money and i got gift certificates (im 16)...now i know i asked u guys about the kenwood 9102 mono amp and u guys said they werent very good but everyone else in the area i live has been saying there great and thats the way to go. i need help on this one it seems to be the perfect amp for my sub.

 

i just checked best buys site to see what they carry. and definatly get an alpine or rockford fosgate over kenwood. i dont know enough about pioneer amps to compare them. but if i was u, id get an alpine amp. dont listen to the people in your area (especially the "pros" at best buy), theyre idiots.

 

hey which alpine or rockford amp though and yea i dont listen to the guys at bestbuy very much i always end up correcting them on things they say about stuff.... dont i want to match the rms of the sub which is 500 watts at 4 ohms to.... what about this one and i could go down to one channel

 

what about what 1? you didnt give a link.

what sub is it again? is it dual voice coil? whats the load of the coil(s), 4ohm? you have alot of flexability when it comes to buying amps. you dont have to exactly match the sub's rms to the amps output. you can always underpower (but who wants to do that, lol), or overpower (if you got a quality sub). give me that info i asked for and ill show u which would be best suited for your situation.

 

ok it was the 2 ch rockford that was 500 rms but its a 4ohm sub the 12" alpine type-r 1242D and the peak power @ 4ohms is 1500 watts and the rms is 500 watts. by the way it is a dual voice coil sub

 

wow, best buy has no selection. you said its a DVC 4 ohm type r. so that means youll need to wire the sub to 2 ohms. and the only amp that puts out sufficient power at 2 ohms is...

yea exactly and the main problem is bestbuy doesnt even have that amp on the show room anymore so i dont know how to get it i dont even know if they ever had it

 

You can always check their website. I'm pretty sure they have free shipping as well. So, if they carry it, it'll be on the website.

 

ok thanks for the info moonwater it was helpfull

 

yeah, word, dogg. you dont need to buy at your local BB, just buy online. m00nwater is teh **** too. sorry,im really drunk...but m00nwater is still teh ****! WOOT!!!
