Which amp?

Bronze Member Username: BigsimPost Number: 11 Registered: Jan-06 | Hi everyone, I'm totally new to amps and stuff, so please be gentle, I'm trying to learn  I bought a 12w6 from ebay, and was hoping to buy a 4-channel amp, to run the sub and a set of component speakers. The trouble is, I have very little idea of what to look for in an amp. Can anyone recommend good sites to learn, or recommend some good amps (or what I need to look for), or both? Thanks heaps! |

Gold Member Username: TjmutlowPost Number: 1615 Registered: Sep-05 | you do not want a 4 channel to run that sub, it is a dual 4ohm sub. ohm load to low for almost all 4 channels to handle bridged... |

Bronze Member Username: Akula_classPost Number: 22 Registered: Feb-05 | The power you could bridge from a 4 chnl would be pretty low for that sub. You should give that sub around 450rms. As for the comps. Like stated above, name, specs, size?!? |

|
Silver Member Username: JronPost Number: 202 Registered: Jul-05 | get a mono amp that is two ohm stable for sub. if you choose components and rear speakers get a four channel amp, if just component speakers 2 channel ab amp will work fine. |

Bronze Member Username: BigsimPost Number: 12 Registered: Jan-06 | I haven't bought the speakers yet, in fact I haven't bought anything, only the sub. You guys are saying I'll need 2 amps? Some speakers I'm looking at are JL xr650-csi, or dls ur6s. |
|
Silver Member Username: JronPost Number: 204 Registered: Jul-05 | not a necessity but people tend to have one or two amps dedicated to their components, and one or two amps dedicated to their subs, depending on how much power they need. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Bachatero07Post Number: 35 Registered: Mar-06 | i have one 4 channel amp dedicated to the component speakers and one six channel amp bridged for the 2 subs. the las 2 channels are awaiting the next 2 subs. if you have subs, its best to keep them on their own amp. 2 amps if the subs are that powerful. |
|
Bronze Member Username: BigsimPost Number: 13 Registered: Jan-06 | "it is a dual 4ohm sub." I thought it was a dual 6 ohm. That said, how about a JL 300/4? I wanna buy of ebay, and not spend a great deal (so I've got more money on speakers and junk ) |

Silver Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 160 Registered: Dec-05 | man don't be stupid, buy 1 mono amp stable at 2 ohm cuz is one 4ohm DVC right? then buy a 2 channel amp and put it all the things, or buy one 4 channel amp for components, but don't use one 4 channel amp for subs or component cuz is not the best |
