Silver Member Username: GoatinU.S.A Post Number: 861 Registered: Jan-06 | That is what I have I want to get a orion 1200.1 but that will most likely cost you about 300-350 shipped I have not priced one lately but in car audio you get what you pay for. mb quart does make a good amp but I have never priced one I think the one rovin has is a bit more expensive. or if you can save up a bit more a Kicker KX1200.1 would be my first pick they are about 400 or more shipped. |

Gold Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 1630 Registered: Jun-05 | ya its good i own it works perfectly fine puts out what its suppose to and then if u get a good one maybe more but i think the rms is only 700 at 4 homs bridged but if ur car is 14 volts it should run around 900 |

Silver Member Username: GoatinU.S.A Post Number: 866 Registered: Jan-06 | That amp may do 800 on a good day R's can take slightly more than their RMS and run fine. I would get something with a bit more power than they need. IMO a bit more than you need is always better than less because you can always turn down the gain. |
