85buickrivi Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 The subs r dual 4 ohm and the way I wired them is to 1 ohm or is there a better way to run them I really don't want cheapo stuff just something decent and reliable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 That MB Quart amp isn't even CEA compliant... so, it's very likely those RMS ratings are exaggerated. I'd suggest this AMP: =43814713&SearchClickout[ignore]=1]http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_40253_NVX-JAD900.5.html?SearchClickout[query_id]=43814713&SearchClickout[ignore]=1 Clean power... 2 OHM minimum on the sub output though. If you really don't care that much and you just want something cheap and works... Just get a Jensen 760.4 http://www.amazon.com/Jensen-Power-760-Car-Amplifier/dp/B00GOFX958/ref=sr_1_12?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1411963683&sr=1-12&keywords=Jensen+amp and some cheap mono block amp... It's going to be like $120+ for a 1 OHM capable amp that is brand new... Why does it have to be 1 OHM? Cea compliant means nothing. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 The subs r dual 4 ohm and the way I wired them is to 1 ohm or is there a better way to run them I really don't want cheapo stuff just something decent and reliable Wiring them to 1 ohm is fine as long as you find an amp that can handle that. Such as this Rockford 75x4 @4 ohm + 500x1 @1 ohm. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_67770_Rockford-Fosgate-P1000X5.html That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

85buickrivi Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 im leaning towards this amp would this push them efficiently and not run hot being as im going to run it as 1 ohm??? and also the other 4 channels will be bridged to 2 to run my 4 highs speakers?? the sonicelectronix guy i talked to said the subs i got are really about 200 rms eachhttp://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_79512_Soundstream-TA5.1250.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85buickrivi Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 or this one out of the 2 what would be more applicable to my install,this hifonics brx5000.5 or the soundstream?? http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_67937_Hifonics-BRX5000.5.html the sonicelectronix guy said to run the subs in 4 ohm to reduce the work load on the amp would this be ideal??

White Lightning Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 I highly suggest running separate amplifiers ... But that's just me.

thefourth Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Why not just run 2 different amps? Lol Thanks alaskanzx5 I might just do thatI can recone a sub myself. About a year ago I took 2 12" power acoustic mofos and made one sub. I took the magnet and the motor off of one and j b welded it to the other motor and magnet. I had to wind my own voice coil so it would work. After I was done hooked up to 2 boss 5000w amps. And shattered my back and all my side windows came to this thread to recommend soundqubed and ct sounds. OP goes with soundstream. oh lawd.

jk13 Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 If it has to be one single amp I agree the Memphis Belle is the one I'd use. Sold countless numbers of them over the years and they just work, sound good, and have great power. For my boat where I need something smaller I've been eyeing up the Massive NX5 or American Bass 5100 (they may or may not use the same board...). Read good things, but have not actually heard one yet to determine sound quality. They do have more power than most on the sub channel, and are quite a bit cheaper than the Memphis (which has more). http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_27733_Massive-Audio-NX5.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=PLA&scid=scplp3604212&gclid=CJah-NmiicECFcI7MgodewUAEQ Static drops are my bag.
