so i know about as much on audio systems as i do cars...and i have an Angled sealed enclosure with two 10" woofers, 4-ohm stereo impedance, frequency response 24-1,000 Hz, power handling 100-600 watts RMS...that was copy and pasted ofcourse, and i was wonderin what would be a good amp to go with those. Ill probably be getting another amp to go with my speakers, just for the hell of it... if anyone has any suggestions that would be great.

JFrost9, go to either The Zeb.com or Etronics.com for some of the best deals on amp you can get. I've bought from both and they have excellent service. (Links are provided for easy searching)
 As far as what amp to get, you should keep things simple for yourself since your new to audio and get a two-channel amp that delivers a 4-Ohm load to two channels, pushing about 450-500 watts RMS each channel if you plan on using such powerful subs. This would likely result in very loud bass levels as well as an expensive price tag to get good equipment that car deliver the power, so just know what you really need and want. But of course what amp you buy depends solely on the power handling (watts) and impedence (Ohms) of the speaker that you buy - So be sure that the speaker as well as the amp are compatible and provide enough outputs to power all your speakers. A more cost effective and practical setup would be to get an amp that delivers something like 2-300 watts continuous X 2 channels and then bridge a 12" subwoofer rated for that kind of power and impedence with a ported enclosure....usually providing more than enough bass, at least in my standards. However that may not be enough for the likes of others. Also, peak power ratings are just a marketing thing, so look for where it states the RMS power of the amp, this way you can continuously run a healthy ammount of juice to your subwoofer. Good luck and feel free to ask or PM if you have any more questions. -Corey This post has been edited by Silver94CelicaOwner: Sep 15, 2005 - 12:37 AM -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |
