hi, got an amp 2 days ago, its a sony Xplod 2100gtx rated

600w
100w x 2rms @4ohm max 200w
250w x 1rms @4ohm max 500w

go with 12? or 2 10s

im planning on getting VISONIK subs,
my options are

600 WATT 10" COMPETITION SUBWOOFER i think 300rms, to powerful for amp?

500 WATT 10" SUBWOOFER - SINGLE VOICE COIL so 250RMS? still to powerful?

500 WATT 10" SUBWOOFER - DUAL VOICE COIL

all are VISONIK
are they too powerful? amp wont handle them well?

oh man those amps true power ratings are worse that i thought a 600 watt amp that only produces 250 rms bridged thats not very good...you should be fine because each 10 would only need 125 rms power rating...what ohms are those subs your getting and how much are they because id tell you to get two kicker 12 c comps before that the 8 ohm version since you get max power at 4 ohm bridge we had one of these subs hit 127 db so two could hit 130 db or so for you...plenty loud...make sure you get these not the newer model

this ported box would work esp if you add some poly batting sheets to the inside walls like an inch thick to an inch and a half

cool thx, those subs are actually 4ohmm, which is what i want to get though, cause amp only says
100w x 2rms @4ohm max 200w so much for the 600w rating!!

to bridge to 4 ohm you want two 8 ohm single voice coils

bridge is making it combine the two channels into 1 which is what you want to get the 250 x1
