pick me an amp
need it to power two alpine 10" type E's (SWE1041), and I'm on a tight budget too. Head unit I'm using will be a clarion db265mp.
|
This was recommended to me on another forum... http://cgi.ebay.com/HIFONICS-BXI606-...QQcmdZViewItem
|
i think it looks good, jake's been helping me out with stuff like that, kasey where'd you pick up the subs? i'm lookin around for alpines cheap
|
kasey the specs on that amp look incorrect. even so, the price is really high for that amp. also, thats alot of power for those subs. heres a better quality amp for about the same price... http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-06-ALPINE-MR...QQcmdZViewItem
WAAAAIIIITTTT... bid on this one first http://cgi.ebay.com/JBL-GTO301-1-Mon...QQcmdZViewItem |
cody has a sick amp that hes selling! for those on a tight budget!

im just wondering... why a mono amp?
|
that's just what's ben recommended to me, although these subs did work fine with a mono amp in the past
edit: found the amp i used before, well the same model at least, on ebay... http://cgi.ebay.com/Bazooka-150-Watt...QQcmdZViewItem it was a 150 watt |
using a JVC KD-G230 head unit instead... if it makes any difference.
|
mono is ok, but personally, with 2 subs, you might as well go for a 2 channel. ive seen and built many setups and thats just my opinion. I will admit that with stereos, everyone has their own beliefs and "what they've been told" so i'm not trying to preach to you what i believe, lol.
the 1ch vs. 2ch does matter quite a bit on you're subs... those subs a single Voince coil at 4 Ohms each so bridged, you'd be running 2 Ohms x 1. The bazooka you listed is RMS 150 watts at 2 Ohms, not that bad. However, with a better amp you'll get MUCH better quality and performance. The only brands of amps i will buy are the 3 following... Alpine, kenwood, and soundstream... alpine cheap ones are just that, cheap. my 2 ch alpine was $700. Kenwoods are very cheap and powerful, but lack some sound quality. they do have nice features like temp protection shutdown and such that allow them to take a beating. I ran a 300 watt kenwood at .5 Ohm(NOT recommended at all) and it did fine. (most amps are not stable at even 1 Ohm) And finally, i love soundstream, those will be the next set of amps i buy. They are incredible and last, but once again you pay for the quality. I run soundstream subs and they are amazing. After 6 years of serious abuse, bass cds and all, they still slam. In my case, my stereo is a big part but for you, i dont see the need for top dollar equipment, but at least go for something good. Kenwood makes a 300watt 2 channel amp w/built in fan for around $120 new @ 6th ave elctronics or best buy. ive installed 2 of those and they are great.... If price isnt that important,This is what i'd recommend.... Soundstream REF300.2 approx. $280 Dealer: ELECTRONICS WORLD 2000 88 BROADWAY, PATERSON, NJ 07501 EDIT: also one BIG thing to make sure of, is that whatever headunit you are using, has RCA outputs, almost all do so that shouldnt be a problem, some even have sub outputs which are even better. EDIT #2: Also another thing i forgot to ask is abotu the box/subs you are using,... seperate boxes or one? sealed? ported? |
ask cody! camaro2you

not talking to you... i sent a message to Kasey [Savage Messiah]
as per the classifieds rules |
oh iight....

kid, i looked up specs on that amp... not impressive at all, no offense.
I really have NO CLUE how they claim 2600W @ 4 Ohm bridged and just 130W stereo @ 4 Ohm. I would recommend staying away from that one if you're looking for true system quality. Find a better amp. "2-channel, 130W x 2 max @ 4ohm, 2600W x 1 bridged @ 4ohm, Dim: 2.4"H x 10.7"W x 11.8"L, MOSFET PWM power supply, Fully adjustable electronic crossovers, Fully protected circuitry, Remote Turn On & Bass Boost, Soft Turn On/Off circuit, Variable gain control, Variable bass boost (0 12 dB @ 60 Hz), S/N ratio: >95 dB, Freq resp: 15 kHz 30 kHz, THD: , Blue-light illuminated, Power & prote " I've dealt with ALOT of amps... jensen, sony, optimus, orion, alpine pioneer, soundstream, MTX, kenwood, PPI, Lanzar, etc. And I have learned that the cheapest, non major brand names are not quality. Like everything else anyone talks about buying on this site, "you get what you pay for". |
yeah well i have already talked too people who do deal with them and it is a good amp and it is 2600it has been hooked up too someone that had the subs and everything in there car...and it did do its job...
2600 Watt 2 Channel Bridgeable MOSFET Amplifiers- PB2600 Two Channel Amplification 2 x 1300 Watts MAX Output 1 x 2600 Watts Bridged Fully Adjustable Electronic Crossovers Variable Bass Boost: ( 0~12dB @ 60 Hz) Soft Turn On/Off Circuit 2 Ohm Stereo Stable Bridgeable Into 4 Ohms MOSFET PWM Power Supply Variable Gain Control Remote Turn On Remote Bass Boost Blue Light Illuminated Heavy Duty Aluminum Alloy Heatsink Hi/Lo Level Inputs Gold Plated High Impedance Input High Level MOLEX Input Power and Protection LED's S/N Ratio: >95dB Frequency Response: 15-30k Hz THD: <0.04% Fully Protected Circuitry Dimensions: 10.7'W x 2.4'H x 11.8'L |

im not gonna argue, just saying pyramid overrates bigtime and anyone who in the industy will tell you that. check car audio forum boards and ask about pyramid, youll get their opionions.
|
a quick search of the head unit says: one set of preamp outputs (switchable rear/subwoofer output)
I'll probably go with that kenwood amp, doing this on a budget. That won't be too much power? (remember im an audio noob) The subs are currently in seperate sealed boxes, I'm kinda contemplating doing something custom though and having them in 1 box. Idk. |
im gonna have to disagree with paul and note that a dual channel amp for subs isnt the most efficient way. since subs are non-fading, there is no reason to have seperate channels for them. now, you may see there is no benefit and say there is no drawbacks as well. this is not true, class -d single channel amps are far more efficient then class-a multi-channel amps. this draws less power and produces far less heat.
kidracer- please dont sell our friends that garbage. pyramid amps are as useless as your posts. kasey- what kenwood amp? |
i have 2 kenwood 529 amps for sale $40 each if youre interested
