mak Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 For future reference, my system will be installed as follows; Source: Pioneer AVIC-Z2 Front: MTX Thunder6000 T6.6 Rear: Stock(99% of the time, these are turned off) Sub: Eclipse 88150Ti (DVC 4Ω - Box Specs) Sub Amp: Infinity 611a (650W RMS @ 2 ohms) I'm not going to amp my components, they sound great being powered from the head unit. I know I could squeeze a little more from them by going external, but I'm satisfied as-is for now. With all of that out of the way, I'm looking for amp recommendations for my 88150Ti. Budget: $300, less, if possible! Specs: 1000W RMS @ 2 ohms, or close to it. Some models I've been looking at are; Audioque AQ1200D (870W RMS @ 2 ohms) Alpine MRP-M1000 (1000W RMS @ 2 ohms) Kicker ZX1000.1 (1000W RMS @ 2 ohms) Cadence ZRS-7000D (900W RMS @ 2 ohms) Cadence ZRS-C65 (1200W RMS @ 2 ohms - might be TOO much for my sub) The ZRS-C65 intrigues me, but those specs accurate? I'm open to other amps within my budget. Quote

mak Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Posted April 1, 2011 I had a brain fart, it lasted a couple of days! I have a Cadence TXA-6004 sitting on my garage right now. I'm thinking I'll bridge each coil off of a set of channels for 600W RMS per coil. So channels 1/2 bridged @ 4 ohms for 600W RMS, channels 3/4 bridged @ 4 ohms for 600W RMS. I'll use the 2-channel input option on the amp to avoid inconsistencies in the signal going to each coil. Since my TXA-6004 will put out the same power as that ZRS-C65 I stand to save about $210 going this route. Someone enlighten me if I've missed something! another bang for the buck Thanks for the link, I'll look into it if my above project doesn't pan out. Quote
