I am going to have the two subs in a sealed box each in their own chamber and I am looking for a setup that will let the subs produce as much CLEAN impact as possible. I really want to feel the bass as much as possible, while still retaining quality. I am willing to spend 400-500 for the amp (Ebay or discount pricing...not retail) so I am wondering if you guys have any recomendations. The subs are rated for 350watts RMS and 1400watts peak, so I know they can handle a lot of power. Right now I am deciding between these amps although if anyone has any suggestions that I haven't thought of that would be very much appreciated. Here are the amps: Soundstream Van Gogh VGA1600.2 ($479.99) MTX THUNDER1501D ($359.00) JL 500/1 ($398.00) JBL GTO 1201.1 ($292.95) If anyone has any input on which direction I should go with this it would be really great, as I want to have this setup sound as good as I can afford to make it sound. Also, how would you guys recomend wiring the subs for the best power output from the amps, as the DVC factor of the equation gets confusing when I am trying to figure out how much power the amp will be sending the subs once it is all wired. Price is not a huge factor, I really jusut want the best amp I can get in this price range, although I would say that the Soundstream is probably the most expensive amp I can afford to buy. Thanks a lot for the help guys! |

I use the ORION 600D Mono. Which I got retail at a price of $320! I have the DVC subs paralleled down to 1-ohm. The Orion puts out 600 RMS at 1-ohm. Since they both hit at the same time, it just pounds.. :-) the SQ is AWESOME. Yet, you still get deep very tight bass. Make sure to stuff the boxes with polyfill. |

That cleans the sound up even more being set at 24dB/Octave. Definitely the best amp I've seen for subs.. GREAT choice on the subwoofers too. Kappa Perfect DVC are sweet. |
