I haev a set of infinity perfect 6.1s they were powered by a alpine mrv-t320 until i find out which amp to buy for the sub i am using this amp to push the JL and my components are powered by deck...ya i know not good but i wanted to use my sub....anyways it does 220RMS * 1 @ 4ohms and it is pusing the sub i was amazed at how nicely the sub is pounding. Ok the two choices i came to are the following Phoenix Gold Tantrum 300.2 300RMS*1@ 4ohms ROckford Fosgate P3002 300RMS* 1 @ 4ohms. anyone know how i should push this sub someoen was telling me to put in 300-500RMS....i dont wanan kill the sub and i still wanan use my alpine amp to power the components. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I plan on REMOving my rears soon as the sub gets its oWN amp. ill let the bass flow into cabin...thanks any help is going to be greatly appreciated. |

Bronze Member Username: IdsPost Number: 30 Registered: Sep-04 | Some ppl were also telling me that i could put in a 400RMS amp but my box is 2.1cbft and its ported so shoudl i get a 400RMS amp if i can for the same price ? it says max 300RMs in manaul but apparantly the w3v2 can take more. |

Silver Member Username: Iamduff_87Michigan America! Post Number: 275 Registered: May-04 | hey glasswolf...wouldnt it be cheaper for him to buy a 2 channel amp and bridge it to 300watts @ 4 ohms?? seems to me that would save him close to $100 probably. oh n if u read this will you check my sub box post in the sub section. thanks ! |
Bronze Member Username: IdsPost Number: 34 Registered: Sep-04 | my original plan was to buy a phoenix gold tantrum 300.2 it does 300*1RMS @ 4ohms. on ebay within my budget. thier are no GTO amps on ebay right now. |
