Hey there. Okay here's the specs

2008 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS

2x SA-12's D2

Box is tuned to 30hz

Amp: TBD

I've done the Big 3 upgrade now i'm just looking for an amp that's semi cheap but affordable

~300$ to spend for an amp

Since the subs are D2 I would need a .5 ohm stable amplifier.

Any suggestions?

no matter where I go, no matter what I do, no matter the choices I make... I will always have bass.

If you only have $300 to spend, keep saving, you wont get anything worth a damn for that price. Save up enough for an alt, put that in, then save up $500 for a crescendo 3500 (i dont remember what they cost off hand).

Getting bass into the cabin of a W124 mercedes is impossible.

Current setup:

Temp 1999 panasonic HU

rockford 300.2 for fronts

rockford 200.2 for rears

rockford 400.1 for sub

Leaning towards a 8" in an exponential horn

DAMN YOU GERMANS AND YOUR 5" SPEAKERS!

also, at 120a, you have maybe 1000w worth of usable amperage, at .5 on a .5 stable amp, with imp. rise maybe 600w for both subs.

why crescendo?

Because they're built well, priced well, and it uses the same board as the sundown 3500. If i was going to buy an amp, i'd buy one thats not going to blow its mosfets in a year (the audiopipe 3000 comes to mind, and its not even actually 1 ohm stable either)

this isn't true he could have 20 millions batterys(just an expression) and have lots more power
