You electrical/audio guys

[RampRolla]

I have just ordered a thunderform sub box with MTX 8000's in it. I know the subs are 300 a piece on RMS and 800 watts max. Since I am running the two subs I really need a amp recommendation. If you guys could steer me in the right direction so I dont wast my money that would be great. Also, if I recall the thunderform box has one speaker outlet on the back. Does that mean both subs are wired together coming out of that one port and I can run a single channel amp?

just dont buy a crappy amplifier, get a kicker, memphis, or JLaudio. I have had all of those and they all work very well.

I have a RF 800A2 that does the job just fine and yes subs are wired together or atleast mine were and are. Base is non-directional so there is no left or right

Yeah, look at something that's got good power brigded (sp). You'll need it. I had a great little amp that sounded perfect with two boxes. When I switched to the TF box, it didn't sound too hot, lol.

+1 to what 203Cree said.

Make sure you bridge the amp.
I have an Audiobahn amp, it's pretty good, main I reason I got it was due to the outside with the blue neons and flamed chrome body. Punch makes some kick ass amps. Had a kicker amp, and that thing rocked.

Here's the audibahn I had and it was a killer amp and looked good too

I'd look into something like a 1000 watt mono Kicker amp... I have a mono Kicker and 2 channel JLaudio amp.. I wouldn't buy anything else other than the 2..

Well since each sub has 300 rms for a total of 600 so dont I want an amp with a minimum of 600 rms? I assume it works that way correct? I have been looking at some MTX amps as well. Are they not so hot?

 

[flarocket]

nope- nothing wrong with mtx amps- I have one running 2 tens now with no problems

Theres few differences between alot of amps, just cause they say 1000 watts or more doesnt mean it put thats put remember that. A amp thats 400 500 could perform better then the one thats rated at "1000", the numbers means shit.

I am powering a single 10" dual voice coil PROBOX brand sub in a Probox superbass ported enclosure, with a Alphasonic pmz-600a amp.

the subs voice coils are 4ohm and I have each channel of the amp powering each coil seperatly, in effect putting 150 watts to each coil for a total of 300 watts to the sub.....let me tell you it pounds like a pair of 12"s, absolutley anyone who sits in the truck is in utter disbelief when i tell them it's only one 10" with 300 watts, and the clarity is as good at it gets especially considering the nature of a ported enclosure.

Absolutely right. The best sounding amp I've had yet was my little Blaupunkt, lol. It was rated 125 RMS 2 channel, 300 bridged. It pushed so clean it wasn't even funny.

I just bought my Kicker 750 watt mono channel from pricegrabber.com. It normally runs 500.00 bucks, but I got it for 160 with shipping. Refurbished of coarse, but it is refurbished by kicker, so I don't have a problem with that. It is an awesome website. I also got my two 10" solo beric L7's off of there for around 120 a piece, and those normally run 300 to 350 a piece.
