New member Username: JonathanhPost Number: 1 Registered: Jan-06 | I used to have 2 audiobahn aw1206T Flame subs and audiobahn amp, but i sold them after the first week i had them because they were really crappy. I am looking for a new system and i am trying to figure out wich brand of subs and amp to get. The 10 inch subs need have a mounting depth of less than 6.5 inches to go into the sealed box i have this time. I have been looking at diamond audio but i dont know much about any other brands. I dont really have a lot to spend but i want to keep it in the 500ish price range for 2 subs and an amp. Thanks for your help and suggestions |

Silver Member Username: CenusHicksville, Ohio Usa Post Number: 972 Registered: Jan-05 | im not sure of the mounting depth but 2 RE re12inch subs[$77 each] and a kicker kx400.1 [$150 look around online] should be a nice system. if you want more spl you might look into kicker cvr's they take more power but will probally be louder than the re's. |

Silver Member Username: CenusHicksville, Ohio Usa Post Number: 973 Registered: Jan-05 | oh sh!t i just remembered that the re's are dvc4ohm and won't work with that amp. so if you are considering the re's just lokk for a amp that does 400+watts at 1 or 4ohms. |

New member Username: Havey02Post Number: 4 Registered: Jan-06 | Well today i got a late christmas present from the girlfriend and i got 2 Alpine SWR-1022D Type R's. I really like them but now i have got to decide whats a decent amp for them. I was looking at the Alpine MRD-1005. Any other suggestions for an amp and i also need sugestions on a good sound insulation like fatmat or dynamat. Thanks again |

Silver Member Username: CenusHicksville, Ohio Usa Post Number: 982 Registered: Jan-05 | are those dvc2ohm or dvc4ohm i think there 2ohm if they are the only amp i can think of is JL1000/1 that would power them correctly, a lot of people on here like edead,fatmat, and dynomat so im sure any1 would work. |

New member Username: Havey02Post Number: 5 Registered: Jan-06 | The speakers are dual 2 ohm voice oils so i can only have a 8ohm, 2ohm, or .5ohm setup. I want to go with a 2ohm setup with any amp. Hows to hifonics about power. It claims 900w @2ohms but is it more like 700ish? I want to push 400-500w RMS to each sub Thanks for all the suggestions |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 4155 Registered: Jun-04 | A harrison labs amplifier would be an excellent choice also in a small compact design or you could look at my buddies post on ebay he has a umber of amps in your price range including a jbl 1200.1....heres the link to all his stuff and almost all is brand new never used http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZspl141QQhtZ-1 |

New member Username: Havey02Post Number: 6 Registered: Jan-06 | I was looking through some other posts this morning and somebody had mentioned a Lanzar Vibe amp. I think it was the 268. Just wondering if that would push near 500x2 @ 2Ohms? |

New member Username: Havey02Post Number: 8 Registered: Jan-06 | Let me get more specific so i can hurry and couple a good amp to these subs. I have 2 SWR-1022D alpine type r's Dual 2 Ohm Voice Coils rated at 500w RMS -I wouldnt mind a 2 channel amp but a mono amp is probably more in my price range.(200-300ish) -I want to run the subs at 2 Ohms -I want to run 400 to 500w RMS to each sub. I dont want to risk damaging the subs by running over the recommended rating. -I realize that on a limited budget i have limited options but i just want a good amp for these subs. I am grateful for everyones input so far |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 4170 Registered: Jun-04 | ok thats a good price range as I said before look at my buddies amplifier list thats up on ebay http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZspl141QQhtZ-1 three amps I would recommend are the jbl 1200.1 which puts out 1200 rms at 2 ohms which is fine for those 10's you could just back the gain off if you wanted to...ive run as much as twice a speakers rated power daily for music on subs so 100 extra watts on each of yours should not cause any problems thats also a mono block thats at $200.00 right now you could also run the tsunami amp if you wanted to run less power that would put out 600 rms at 2 ohms bridged thats also a mono block like you prefered ...thats at $85.00 right now or you could do the us acoustics usx 1000d that put out 700 watts rms at 2 ohms and thats also a mono block like you prefered and thats at $150.00 right now all three of the amps are brand new never used and I know these are as he says they are |
