1996BLKBauer Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Now I know that my MTX 10" 6000 Series Subs are not TOTL, but I got 2 of them for $50, and they are practically new. So I figure it would be a good step to having a fairly decent system in my 1996 Ford Explorer. But I have hit a road block, I am really not sure what amp to buy to properly power these Subs. I am also on a budget, trying to keep the amp cost under $200, under $150 would be even better, so does anybody have any suggestions? Also, I don't plan on asking this one question, and leaving. I plan on doing a whole build topic for my Truck, I am just doing the research right now.

1996BLKBauer Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Maybe it would help to post the specs on the speakers in question... I have 2 of these keep in mind, Here are the specs on them. Size: 10 Inch Impedance: 4 ohms Voice coil: Single Voice Coil RMS Power Range (In Watts): 50-250 Peak Power (In Watts): 500 I am considering the Rockford Fosgate Prime R150-2 150, but with a RMS of only 50 Watts, and a peak of 150 watts, I don't think it will be useful considering the speakers can take much more power. Or am I wrong to think this? I am still pretty new to car audio, so any help, even saying a I'm a noob, and tell me to do some research would be a start.

CleanSierra Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 I have the R150 and the birth sheet says it puts out 172 watts RMS. That would honestly probably be enough for the subs. Youve got 2 SVC 4 ohm subs, so they're gonna wire to a 2 ohm load. Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I got the subs though, is kinda weird.... I got them in a box, but the box has 2 separate sections for each speaker. so I don't have the same connection for both, each sub has it's own binding posts on the box. Will this affect the load on the amp? I know on my home stereo I have 2 pairs of 8 ohm speakers hooked up running at the same time, thus putting a load of 4 ohms on my amp.
