Amp/Sub Combo
|
New member Username: WankertankPost Number: 9 Registered: Jul-04 | I am interested in getting a Polk MOMO C500.1 amp, and an Infinity Kappa Perfect 12.1 single channel sub. Is this a good combo or is there something else in this range that is good too? Thanks |

Silver Member Username: Jwbulger79Florida Post Number: 459 Registered: Nov-04 | nope. i would look at zapco, xtant, mtx, or kicker - in that order. the kicker kx400.1 would be good for that sub. the mtx 801D is on sale here for a great price. it puts out 400watts at 4ohms and 800 watts at 2ohms. wire the sub at 4ohms and if you ever decided to add another sub, just wire them to a 2ohm load and you'd give them 400watts each. |

MTX makes very well built amps and their customer service is excellent. this sale is amazing. |

Silver Member Username: Jwbulger79Florida Post Number: 478 Registered: Nov-04 | get the DVC model, wire each 4ohm coil in parallel and it will be a total load of 2ohms on the amp. the MTX421D will put out 300 watts RMS at 2 ohms. that measurement is taken at 12.5 volts, so at 14.4 volts it'll put out 345 watts, maybe even more. those amps are underated - either way, it's perfect for the perfect  |
