Robby Holmes Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) im going to be having my grad party on the 23rd, and im expecting to acquire a good amount of money. i already started college and have everything i need, so all proceeds go to what i want that means new gear!! including at least one set of RE Audio XXX 6.5's but that means i need an amp that puts out 600watts / 300wrms. i'd still like to keep it on a reasonably budget, so that pretty much cuts out JL Audio. ideas? e/: i was looking at a 720w peak kenwood amp, but i've heard they run kind of hot?

john253a Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) dont really no what your budget is or where you prefer to buy, but all under $200 in this order would be my choice http://www.sonicelec...io-JX360-2.html http://www.sonicelec...e-PBR300X2.html and if you want something a bit cheaper, and less power http://www.sonicelec...-10ZX200.2.html Edited June 4, 2012 by john253a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diatribe Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 The XXX's don't need that much power. I would look into a nice 150 watt per channel amp. This one from Arc should fit the bill just nicely: http://www.arcaudio.com/product-pages/amplifiers/ks-series/ks3002.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skullz Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) Screw matching power ratings on speakers as they'll take more power like subs can if your smart about it and don't blow them. More power is better in front stage as it means less distortion and a cleaner sounding front stage to build you sub stage on. 150w is a bare minimum for fronts but don't be afraid to get up into 300w per channel, it doesn't mean you'll use all that power it just means you'll have the power needed to play the level you want to listen to cleanly and without distortion. EDIT: Look into the ZED Audio , Zuki custom , RF T1000.4 http://www.zedaudiocorp.com/index.php/products/leviathan-iii/item/leviathan-iii.html http://www.zukiaudio.net/Custom.html Do NOT let the ratings fool you, 5 zuki watts are close to 175 watts http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_34753_Rockford-Fosgate-T1000-4AD.html Edited June 6, 2012 by Skullz Quote 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
