Maroon97SL Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 I am going to get flamed, but i want to invest my money into something good. My question is if im running 2 12"s each are rated at 300w RMS @ 8ohms, i would need an amp that can do 600w x 1 @ 4ohms or 300w x 1 @ 4ohms?

Budget Build, I spent about 330$ for the setup. but its a crx, if you cant fart and do a 150 in a crx there is something wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirill007 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) Are they single voicecoil or dual voicecoil? IF they are single voicoil buy the amp that does 600w at 4 ohms. If they are dual voicecoil, then you need a amp that does 600w at 1 ohm. EDIT: I agree with roscoe Edited July 14, 2010 by kirill007 Quote Thinking is the root of all problems...

roscoe1129 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 The only dumb question is the one that's not asked. And Krill if they are dual 8ohm he wants one that does 600 watts @ 2ohms not 1 Quote Some people need a sympathetic pat... on the head...with my hammer Scientia est Vox "In Nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti" DONT BE AFRAID TO USE THE SEARCH BUTTON!!!

Is this amp sufficient enough for my subs? It's in the right price range for my budget as well. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_22705_Hifonics+HFi1000D.html, sorry didnt see you post before me =\ Edited July 14, 2010 by Maroon97SL Quote 2000 White Saturn SL2 Kenwood KDC-248U Head Unit 1 Rockrod Fosgate HX2 punch DVC 12 1 Rockford Fosgate R500-1 amp Stock Mids & Highs.

Any idea's on a decent amp to get? I won't be entering contests with it, its my DD im installing the amp in. I'm just looking for something in the price range of 150-180 that is going to last and push these eclipse's. My amp now is a pyramid 1000 watt 2-ch and its paid it's dues, just time to upgrade. Well looking at the manual my amp now is 75 watts x 2 RMS @ 4 ohms ( that is horrible ) Edited July 14, 2010 by Maroon97SL Quote 2000 White Saturn SL2 Kenwood KDC-248U Head Unit 1 Rockrod Fosgate HX2 punch DVC 12 1 Rockford Fosgate R500-1 amp Stock Mids & Highs.
