I am in the process of building a system for my miata and have everything except the amp. I have a single Image Dynamic(IDQ10)which is 2 ohm and 250 watts rms. Specs here: http://www.imagedynamicsusa.com/website/tech/data_sheet_idq10d2v2.html I also have 2 bass shakers that are 50 watts peak and are 4 ohm. I was hoping to run all these off of one 4 channel amplifier which would mean I would need an amp that is 2 ohm stable in bridged mode, correct? Also, is it possible to use a 2 channel amp and have one channel going to the sub and then split the second channel to the shakers? I am by no means an audiophile so this may be a stupid question. So far I have looked at the Phoenix Gold x100.4 but it is slightly out of my price range at the moment (preferrably around 200 bucks). Any other suggestions or comments? Thanks in advance, Antiduke |

If all you want is just a sound, then there are few options. For around $150, you can look at Audiobahn's Intake series amp. MTX might have an amp around $200 also. Just curious, why would you want a bass shaker? Why not produce the effect with a real sub and amp combo? |

New member Username: AntidukePost Number: 2 Registered: Mar-05 | As I said, this system is going in a mazda miata.. BARELY room for this 10" sub. And I was skeptical about the bass shakers at first, but when I hooked them up to a friends amp, these things are really cool. They really did make it "sound" like there is a sub in his truck. And I'm not really trying to "cut corners." I'm just looking for a solution that is cheaper.. if it doesn't exist then I will just have to wait. I'm not seeing any of Audiobahn's 4 channel intake series amps that are 2 ohm stable in bridged mode. The High Current A4075HCT will but it is around 400 bucks. |
