Dan Kazurskis Unregistered guest | Alright I dont have much experience with car audio, I dont know what to pair with my single 12" polk momo in the back of my integra. I'm looking on ebay mostly, because im kind of on a budget, I can spend in the neighborhood of 175. What do you guys suggest? The specs for the sub are (unneccessary for Glasswolf lol): recommended power range 75-500 watts RMS peak power 1000 watts frequency response 20-200 Hz I was thinking a 500 W amp, but I'm not sure if my funds will allow me that. Give me your thoughts though |

Power Channels 1 MonoBlock Total Dynamic Power (all ch. driven) 975 watts 14.4 Volts RMS Not Bridged @ 1kHz 4 Ohms 350 watts x 1 2 Ohms 500 watts x 1 circuit city is discontinuing this line of amps, so this one is selling for $242, at least in the Los Angeles area. you can't get anything even close to this amp in quality at this price. from what i know, don't use a 2 channel class AB amp with this sub, or any sub, if you have a choice. a class d amp will be about 80% efficient, and not get nearly as hot as a full frequency ab amp. oh, and if you add another sub later, you can wire it in parallel with your existing sub, and this amp is stable at 2ohms, rated at 500W X 1 at 2 ohms. you don't have to buy another amp. and you will want another sub someday, i'll bet ya. good luck. |

Silver Member Username: Its_bacon12Post Number: 590 Registered: Dec-03 | i dont like that amp at all they rate it at 14.4v and its still only 350w rms at 4 ohms and if you'd read above, the polk momo is single 4 ohm sub, and using class AB amps on subs isnt bad...i dont understand why you new people are giving people completely wrong information an AB amp will get hotter because it is a little less effecient, doesnt mean its not a good amp or you cant use it i would definately still get the rockford 451s over that polk monoblock - and the rockford i believe is still less anyways... |
