Finally buying amp
 

Looking at a few new different types
1
2
3
4 <<< The original amp I wanted to get.
Since I have 2 amps running at 1500W, wouldn't a 3000W be needed to run the highest? One thing I still haven't mastered is subwoofers and amplifiers..

i cant say from experience but i dont think the BOSS and SOUNDSTORM amps are very good

RE: Finally buying amp
 

out of all those id go with the hifonics

RE: Finally buying amp
 

yea man, those are marketing scams...no way in hell they put down 3500 watts, or ANYWHERE near that. save your money.

RE: Finally buying amp
 

If you need 1000w TRUE power... buy this cadence. Hands down will kick ass agianst any of those amps you have listed. FTW!

First of all. Get those Wal-Mart power numbers out of your head. "RMS Wattage" is the only thing you should concern yourself with as far as power...Its fairly simple to match a sub with an amp, you just have to know some simple things.

Find out what final ohm load you need (I.E. D4 + D4 = 4/1ohm)

Then find out what RMS wattage you need (I.E. 500wrms + 500wrms = 1000wrms)
-this number can vary quite a bit, running 10-15% over the number you need is not a bad idea and wont hurt the subs as long as you tune your amplifier properly.

Then the rest is just researching brands and gettign the best bang for your buck...

what is your budget for the amp and what is the sub setup ur running?

RE: Finally buying amp
 

Right now I'm at about $300 or a little over, and I'm running 2 15" Alpine Type R's, the new versions.

RE: Finally buying amp
 

dual 4's?

you may want more than 600 each

600 RMS on 4-ohm?
