What kind of amp do I need for these subs?
-
I posted a question but didn't get a full answer. So this is a question on which amp do you recommend. I don't want to spend over $100 or at least not much over. I have 2 Thunder 5500 MTX 8" Subwoofer Peak: 400 watts RMS: 200 watts Impedance: Single 4 ohms http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_14785_MTX-Audio-T5508-04.html I need to know of a amp that can support both subs. I'm confused on ohms. I found MTX AUDIO 300XD THUNDER CLASSD SUBWOOFER 600W AMPLIFIER 4 ohms: 200 watts RMS x 1 chan 2 ohms: 300 watts RMS x 1 chan http://www.halfpricecaraudio.com/MTX-300XD-Car-Audio-Class-D-Subwoofer-600W-Amplifier-Special.htm IF THIS AMP DOESN'T WORK PLEASE SUGGEST ONE.

Answer:
that MTX amp would work great... look for a mono (single channel) amp rated at 400W or less at 2ohm.... the 300x1 of the MTX is what i would recommend bc I like to have a safety buffer of sorts and not go for the top of the power rating of the speakers.... there are many amps rated around 300-400W RMSx1 channel at 2ohm so you can shop around as much as you want. here are some other options on a compare page : http://www.sonicelectronix.com/compare_items.php?sort_order=%2Fviewcat.php%3Fcategory_id%3D23%26f_164_min%3D251%26f_164_max%3D500%26sort_order%3Dprice_asc%26items_per_page%3D100&product_id%5B%5D=33006&product_id%5B%5D=22381&product_id%5B%5D=21953&product_id%5B%5D=9852&product_id%5B%5D=21954

When you take 2 4 ohm subs and wire them with both positives and both negatives together it will run at a 2 ohm load so get the 2 ohm amp and bridge the speakers. So the 2 ohm amp will be what you want,
