So What Kind Of Amp Should I Get?

Between 625 (minimum rated) and 700 watts per woofer.

Each amp is a little different, it will come with a birthsheet which confirms it actually does 2500+

4000 at 2 ohms? jesus. lol. i don't wanna kill the things. i just want to have them have close to their max. but thanks for the idea.

you dont always have to push things to their max to get your moneys worth.

If you've been doing something for 20 years, does that mean what you do it right???

Sadly it looks that way, no offense. :unsure:

"Monoblock" simply means 1 channel, as opposed to a stereo amplifier. A monoblock amp can be 1-ohm stable, 2-ohm stable, 8-ohm stable, etc etc... "Mono" merely makes reference to the number of channels, or 1, and has NO bearing whatsoever on the minimum ohm load the amp is stable to.

Just trying to help keep the misinformation at a minimum. :) I know all this stuff can be confusing enough for people just getting into the hobby, throwing questionable terminology around doesn't help anyone. Please don't take it personally, I'm just trying to help.

More than likely if you buy a 3000W @ 1-ohm monoblock, you'll only be getting 1500 out of it because your final load will be 2-ohms and your subs will only be getting ~375W a piece. It's not the best idea.

Edit:

This guy clearly does know what he's talking about! :pardon:

(I just checked out some of his builds, very nice :) )

Miscommunication strikes again. I added the word in boldface which would have originally solved everything.

Cheers!
