Needs to comply with a whimpy alternator. one choice I came up with---idq-10 dual4ohm with jbl bp300.1. Any other combos you guys can suggest?? |

Bronze Member Username: 1stimerPost Number: 32 Registered: Mar-05 | ty James....I would consider a 12...hmm ppi for a sub....never thought of that....don't think it would be a waste to run it for subs? just worried about my alernator, but with two pretty low powered amps, I bet I would be ok. Any other combos guys? |

Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 2679 Registered: Dec-04 | I have a PPI a600.2 and I have run multiple different sets of subs with it and it ran them all flawlessly with great precision and detail they are terrific amps for mids and highs but they will run subs very well also provided you run them at 4 or 8 ohms mono. also with the atlas look inot the jl 250/1 |

Bronze Member Username: 1stimerPost Number: 33 Registered: Mar-05 | Remember the budget is $250 for the sub AND the amp. Don't think either of your combos will fit into that budget. The jl blows that budget by itself. Anyone got a good combo for $250 or less? |

Bronze Member Username: 1stimerPost Number: 34 Registered: Mar-05 | Take that back James...A used 250/1 can be had for around 175 or so it looks like, so you might not be too far off afterall. I like the ppi route better though. I am going to try and listen to some subs today. Thanks again. Keep anymore $250 sub and amp combos coming please. |

Bronze Member Username: 1stimerPost Number: 36 Registered: Mar-05 | Thanks James....not too confident with that feedback, but I did grab this pc275, which seems to have the same specs. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem%26item%3D5769992514 |

Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 2720 Registered: Dec-04 | thats a nice amp as well but not as good as the art series in my opinion! I know Isaac feel's differently but I have a thing for the art series amps, they are absolutely fantastic amps. |

Oh, here's another good pdf to go along with that one: http://www.precisionpower.com/ppipdfs/general/lineage.pdf I paid lil over $800 for my pro MOS 2050D in '89 so those prices are pretty reflective of what that stuff was going for. -Fishy |
