Just to make sure i am calculating this correct. A mono amp listed at 150 Watts x 1 @ 4 ohm and 300 Watts x 1 @ 2 ohms would break down to 150 Watts x 2 @ 2 ohm split into 2 4ohm svc subs. If that is correct here are my amp choices I have limited it down to. Price is a big factor. What would you recommend.
I figured with this that the JBL is a little to much for me and that the RF 301M is the best deal. i wonder why the older RF is cheaper with same output. i also thought older RF amps are underrated so that seems by far the best deal.
i will be running 2 12" Sonys capable of a RATED 350 RMS but i dont want to try to push that much into them and dont think it is necessary. i also do not have the money available to buy an amp over 175 anyway . poor high school kid who just lost his job here.
Quality of the amp, sound quality, reliability, RF has slumped in their quality since they went commercial, and that 301M is included. JBL is good, but not the sound quality of the MTX. Early, early 90's RF was the good stuff, very hard to find now.
durability, features, component spec quality, things like that.. all equates to a better overall amp. JBL is good, but they are basically the bottom end of things I recommend because they're affordable to jsut about anyone. They lack some things like infrasonic filtration which makes a big difference to a ported box.
Xtant A3001T. It can be had on ebay for around 120.00+ shipping. This amp will give you 300 rms at 2 ohms. Good thing about this amp is it puts out 300 rms from 12.5-14.4 volts at 2 ohms kinda of like JL amps and ive heard these amps are underrated. So I would go with that one before the other ones.
Find a Cadence dealer You will be very happy you did. hehe purchase yourself cadence subs aswell.
I've witnessed MTX subs being shattered to pcs by a cadence amp. THe amp was put in to the person setup replacing there kicker amp at the same rating and the cadence ripped them up.
The person went home with the amp and a new subs and was very happy.
