Amp for two idmax 10" subs
|
New member Username: EblanchePost Number: 1 Registered: Nov-05 | Hey, i went to my local audio shop after researching a bit on what subs i wanted. For the subs mentioned (i have not decided 2 or 4 ohm version) the owner recommended using a rockford fosgate t5002. This amp is rated as follows: 75x2 @ 4 ohm 150x2 @ 2 ohm 250x2 @ 1 ohm 500x1 @ 2 ohms bridged AVG. Actual Power: 227x2 @ 4 ohm 369x2 @ 2 ohm 527x2 @ 1 ohm 1054x1 @ 2 ohms bridged Would that amp even be able to power two idmax 10inch subs to any potential at all? i was thinking more along the lines of one step above that amp, the rf t8002 whcih can give: 324x2 @ 4 ohm 510x2 @ 2 ohm 697x2 @ 1 ohm 1394x1 @ 2 ohms bridged Would the rf t8002 amp work well enough? What other amps would you recommend for two idmax 10" subs that are no higher than $500? thank you. |

An amp that does around 1500/1600 wrms @ 1 or 2ohms but for that budget u will b hard pressed to find it . u can also get a 2 chan amp that ahs the wattage . look @ the various brands on www.woofersetc.com ..... |

What subs would I then need to achieve the supposed 1500 watts? Would I need the 2 or 4 ohm version and how would it be wired? Sorry for all the questions but I'm a noob at this. My first system.  Thanks for the help so far. |

New member Username: EblanchePost Number: 4 Registered: Nov-05 | o well i was not aware that the ed nine.1 wasn't that great of an amp. i guess i could stretch my budget for an amp up to maybe $600. but what brands should i be looking at? im pretty sure i can't afford a zapco amp. lol |
