Bronze Member Username: Dj_d3cib3lPost Number: 12 Registered: May-06 | I just purchased an MB Quart RWE202 8in subwoofer, which I believe is rated at 150 watts RMS @ 2ohms. I was wondering what kind of amp would be good for this sub. I dont need anything that substantial, nothing to make me deaf or pinpoint my location coming down the block. Do any of you know which amp I should purchase? Thanks! PS: I will be running the amp with an Eclipse HU with only 2.7 volt preouts, nothing special. Thanks sgain! |

Bronze Member Username: Dj_d3cib3lPost Number: 14 Registered: May-06 | I dont need to overpower my sub. Like I said, I probably would never crank it up past halfway, so I dont need anything that powerful. I just need a sub for the effect it has, not so that the only thing I can here are the low frequencies. I like that alpine. But, I am also considering to amp the 2 rear speakers with that one amp, so should I consider an Alpine Flex channel amplifier? |
