Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 6438 Registered: Jul-06 | In power obviously not. When the kenwood blows, just make sure to get a good quality amp next time. |
New member Username: Cory_memphisPost Number: 7 Registered: Feb-08 | what kind of amp around $200 would you recommend? |
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 6458 Registered: Jul-06 | Thats a little low...... you can get a good 1000w amp for $250-300 Does it need to be 1 ohm or 2 ohm stable (what ohm coils are the subs) |
New member Username: Cory_memphisPost Number: 8 Registered: Feb-08 | 4 ohm dvc |
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 6465 Registered: Jul-06 | Then look into an Audioque 1200d www.audioque.com $250 Cheapest good quality amp you'll find |
