^ I agree. Dont waste your money on that.
Get two dual 4ohm type r's wire it up at 1ohm. Is the $350 budget just for an amp?

An amp of any decent quality for two type Rs is gonna run about $250. Gonna need to up that budget.

you will be glad you waited to get something good. just keep researching on forums and such and see what ppl are doing, cuz word of mouth around your home town is full of trash, jargon, bandwagon, and ignorance. Oh... and compainies with HUGE advertising budgets.

If you're looking for 250W RMS than FORGET Infackity, look at SoundSolutions Audio DCON 300W RMS.

Those subs may be 1000W peak but they're 250W RMS. Read the ad lol. Two 8's have 100.48" of cone area, 2 10's have 157".

If you have $125, and a 2.25 cube ported box, a DCON 12" would be better than two 8's - more cone area, better SQ, far better quality, more xmax (13 vs 16), it's better everywhere. In a lot of vids people are using 400W, and that 1100W will be about .8 efficient so it makes maybe 880W. 440W is pretty safe for a DCON, and unless each 8" is 86.1 dB efficient (it's not - it's more like 80 dB), it's not going to be any louder. This means one DCON is around +6 dB over two reference 8's, and the two Infinity's would need (if the DCON was on 300W) 1200W to get as loud. I would put the DCONs efficiency up against the new Type-R's too. The Fi SSD's should be cheaper and better than Type-R's. They're $180 for a 12. If you want a DCON but can't afford one, the Fi X is a different sub all together but still similiar at 300W RMS, same xmax, $65/$75 10's & 12's, 2 10's for $120 or 2 12's for $140, 4 12's for $260.

Here you go, I measured mine at 97volts peak, 68v RMS into 4 ohms (1175W RMS!!) class AB well controlled bass and sounds so sweet I ran the one I used to set a DB Drag World Record on my components and it was as open and pure as my old skool Soundstream CA 6.0.
-The guy who designed it, Russ, patterned it after the Threshold S500 - look up that big boy.

I also had the smaller ZR600 which easily outperformed the JL500/1 while only using ONE CHANNEL on the ZR600. He promptly returned his brand new JL 500/1.

It's an 'Angry' amp!

And, NO, that's not mine at auction, I just searched it out for you. They usually close around ~$200-$250

It will make any 'decent' woofer you put behind it sound awesome.
