Sunday, June 20, 2004 - 04:54 GMT you need an amp rated for 400w x 2 @ 2 ohms 200wRMS x 2 @ 4 ohms 800wRMS x 1 @ 4 ohms bridged wire coils in parallel put one sub on each channel

Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - 05:20 GMT Does the amp have to have all those specs exactly, or does it just need to have at least one of them? Found an amp that does 200wRMS x 2 @ 4 ohms but the 2ohm and bridged specs on it are different than what you mentioned.

Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - 17:31 GMT I dont think that will do it- looks like 600W RMS (1200W). I think you need another 200W. But you may be able to get away with it but RF's need some power behind the sub (like everything else)

Thursday, June 24, 2004 - 16:07 GMT Well unfortunately I have to do my shopping on ebay, and the only amp on there that I have seen with those specs is a Kicker 800.2/850.2, going for well over $200. All the cheaper brands don't show true RMS. Anyone know any other models that have RMS to do it?
