New member Username: Tangerine_skyBirmingham, Alabama USA Post Number: 1 Registered: Jun-06 | Ok here's my problem, I dont know ANYTHING about car audio I just know I want some MTX 10" Subs...which I've picked out and I thought it'd be easy finding an amp as long as I knew the RMS power and all but Im running into this Mono, 2-Channel and Multi-Channel amp stuff and I dunno which I need. Here's a link [ http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17020 ] to the subs I will be getting so you can tell me what it is Im supposed to be looking for, or so you can show me a link of some examples, but I could REALLY use the help! Oh yeah, Im getting 2...only 2 not 1 or 3 sooo if you can please figure out what I'll need to run 2 of these in my lil Chevy Cavalier! =) Thanks in advance, Christi Also...PLEASE dont reply back telling me these speakers will be shxt because I've made up my mind and all this. ^_^ |

New member Username: Tangerine_skyBirmingham, Alabama USA Post Number: 2 Registered: Jun-06 | Wellllll Im looking to spend around $500 all together, not just on an amp, the MTX's together are $198 and Im getting a $155 CD Player. If all together it comes out a bit over $500 no biggy. Thx! |

Silver Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 340 Registered: Mar-06 | You said SOME MTX subs. Does some mean 2? If so you need a amp that will run at 1 ohm, unless you get a 2 channel and run one channel to each sub. This would be a good 2 channel >> http://cgi.ebay.com/KICKER-SX600-2-2-Ch-Amp-SX-06-DIGITAL-DSP-NEW-600-WATT_W0QQi temZ9741028850QQihZ008QQcategoryZ18796QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Not really sure about a mono amp that does 600 @ 1 ohm but that would be your other option |

Silver Member Username: Rick_rossPost Number: 105 Registered: May-06 | This is a good amp for them run them in parallel to make it 1 ohm. http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=16363 |

Silver Member Username: Nnnnick_bWeddington, Nc Usa Post Number: 914 Registered: Jan-05 | Lol, you all are retarded. Those subs are SVC 4 ohm. Wired in parallel that will be 2 ohms. Not 1 ohm. Christi, you need an amp that will put out 600 watts @ 2 ohms. Also, you didn't mention a box, which you will need as well. You can build or buy one. Generally, prefab boxes(like best buy/circuit city) suck. As for the amp. -Alpine MRD-M605 - 600 watts @ 2 ohms. http://cgi.ebay.com/ALPINE-MRD-M605-600-WATTS-MONO-AMPLIFIER-NEW_W0QQitemZ974257 2565QQcategoryZ18797QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem -Phoenix Gold X600.1 - 600 rms @ 1-4 ohms. http://cgi.ebay.com/Phoenix-Gold-XENON-600-1-X600-1-CLASS-D-Amp-NEW-05-600W_W0QQ itemZ9744527350QQcategoryZ18797QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem The phoenix gold would be the best choice b/c it fits your budget and it puts out 600 watts at 1-4 ohms. So if you get different subs in the future that have different VC configs, you won't have to worry. |

Silver Member Username: Nnnnick_bWeddington, Nc Usa Post Number: 916 Registered: Jan-05 | Good luck. If you want to attempt to build a box, I or someone else who is knowledgeable on this web site can help you design one. Most of the girls I now aren't that handy with a jig-saw, but I won't judge, Nick |

Silver Member Username: Nnnnick_bWeddington, Nc Usa Post Number: 917 Registered: Jan-05 | Most of those amps^^^^^^^^^^^^will be too expensive. Most prefab boxes are to small and poorly built. They will sound boomy with poor response in the subsonic range. |

Silver Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 793 Registered: Dec-05 | nick is the only one thinking here jeje, get a sealed box if you want sound quality, if you want sound pressure, then get a ported one |
