Re: Another amp choice thread.

you have a price you want to keep it under? also when you say 4+4 ohm are you saying each sub is 4 ohm svc or each sub is 4 ohm dvc?
 
Re: Another amp choice thread.

4 ohms dvc, thats just how it is labeled on the sub, and written in the directions
 


Re: Another amp choice thread.

Get a mtx amp. I've been pounding subs with my mtx 8502 for six years now. This amp is awesome

im not asking for brand.. im talking specific ratings.
lots of people are satisfied with lots of amps, but that doesn't help me at all
 


Re: Another amp choice thread.

to explain it further you cant change the ohm of your subs, well you can but we wont go their as it involves rebuild, they stay the same no matter how you wire the subs. The ohm of the subs just gives you wiring options and dvc subs give even more wiring options. Your sub's ohms will not change when you wire them up to the amp. As they said, the amp sees the ohm load change.

edit: if you dont like either of those suggestions i mentioned earlier i can find you something else. Just let me know
 
Re: Another amp choice thread.

that would be a great amp at 1ohm as thats where its rated power is

i have 2 15's type r's running at .5ohms and i have them on a hifonics brutus 2600 so you should be fine
 


Re: Another amp choice thread.

if u want the cheap rout with more power check out audio pipe amps my neighbor had 4 tyep r at .5 ohm a peice and had two amps and they pounded I hace two 1500 and there loud.
 
Re: Another amp choice thread.

i wouldnt say its dirty i just say its highly inefficent mine just eats power like nobodys buisness but thats what i get when i mistakenly bought 2ohm dvc

those 15's of mine are only rated for 750rms and they are getting more than 1300 rms for 2 years now but i also dont have my gain cranked all the way up either

Edit: 1oh mor .5ohm it doesnt really matter its just a tough amp and i good price, best bang for your buck IMO
