Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 3783 Registered: Nov-04 | Josh, your 2 subs are only 350w rms x 2. The amp you need is 700w rms. Unless you're planning to use the amp for something else, you don't need 700w rms x 2. I'm guessing you have 4ohms DVC. With those 2, you can have 8ohms, 4ohms or 1ohms total resistance. Look for an amp that is 800w rms and is 1 ohm stable. If that's hard, then find an amp that gives you max power at 4ohms bridged. If money is tight, then Audiobahn's A8000T or A8002T will power your subs without any problem. They cost around $140. For higher priced amps, try MTX/JBL. For better quality, there's always Zapco/JL/Xtant/US Amps/Orion/PPI. |

Gold Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 8918 Registered: Dec-03 | better option is even using two of those alpine M350s.. one on each sub |

Bronze Member Username: Shadow1290Post Number: 56 Registered: Jul-05 | i was planning on buying two of the alpin amps but was trying to get a little cheaper issac 350 watts rms is for each sub both subs individually have 350 watt rms 1300 peak which in turn equals 700 watts rms 2600 watt peak for both subs together |

Bronze Member Username: Shadow1290Post Number: 58 Registered: Jul-05 | i know peak means nothing i was saaying that a need 700 watts to 2 channels at 2 ohms - becouse im wiring the DVC in parallel and running them two two channels either that or wire the subs in also in Parallel to create a 1 ohm load so far i was just planning on running each sub to seprate alpine ams capable individually rms power equalls 350 watts wich would mean that the subs would constantly run at full power with 350 extra watts for thoes sudden hits what i was looking for was just really a cheaper solution than buying two amps and spending 400 dollars i could get a 2 channel amp with 700 watts RMS x2@ 2-ohms or i could get a mono sub amp with 700 watts x1@ 1-ohm just lookin for guys like you and glasswolf who have experience with amps and the different brand as to which brand would be good to power a high quality system within a reasonable price |

Bronze Member Username: Shadow1290Post Number: 60 Registered: Jul-05 | maybe nstead of spending 400 dollars on that one this amp is about the same price http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=14926 one of the major things is beng the amp link system (im planning on buying a new HU) so i can buy a alpnie HU with this capability so i can control my amplifier with my HU http://www.crutchfield.com/S-SVUdRv5ZnzT/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=183850&id=essent ial_info&i=500KCE511M#Tab |

Bronze Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 59 Registered: Jul-05 | How about an ED9.1 1200w rms into 1 ohm ! . Power to spare (in case u want to upgrade to more powerful subs in the future) so that amp will run very cool . Cheap too for that amt of power , $350 with free s&h . |

Bronze Member Username: Shadow1290Post Number: 61 Registered: Jul-05 | i was going to replase my HU in my car until i did a little investagating and found out my dad bought the upgraded premium sound system (JL Audio Sound System) -Very Nice- sound good too so really now i'm just intrested in the amp also the only HU's with that feature of controlling the amp from the HU is the touchscreen models which start at like $1100 (more than i'm willing to spend) |

Bronze Member Username: Shadow1290Post Number: 63 Registered: Jul-05 | It's got 50 watts RMS x 4 channels to the stock speakers (75 watt peak) so it sounds a lot better than most stock HU's |
