Need a Good 800watt Amp
|
Bronze Member Username: SilvermoparNebraska Post Number: 76 Registered: Aug-06 | Alright I would like to buy a decent 800watt 2ch 2ohm amp. I would like to run a pair of 12" Kicker CompVRs with it. they are rated 800watts peak per sub and like 400watts rms each I think, and 2ohms. I would like to keep it UNDER $160 if thats possible. Suggestions as to what to and what not to get would be helpful. Thanks |

Bronze Member Username: SilvermoparNebraska Post Number: 78 Registered: Aug-06 | I really dont want to... The $70 amp i have is great at above half volume. Its just that when i turn it down so that i can hear other ppl in the vehicle, the sound is so sh1ty i cant stand it. I think its just the amp. But you dont know of something decent (doesent have to be the best) for a good ways under $200 that will power um nicely? |

Bronze Member Username: SilvermoparNebraska Post Number: 81 Registered: Aug-06 | so I would end up hocking the speakers Parallel? therefore cutting the ohms from the amp in half? |
|
Bronze Member Username: SilvermoparNebraska Post Number: 82 Registered: Aug-06 | I just checked on those amps. I like the price pretty well. But how would I run 2 subs (i only use a single channel of each) off of a single channel amp |

Bronze Member Username: SilvermoparNebraska Post Number: 85 Registered: Aug-06 | I understand how ohms change when you hock speakers in series and parell. But i do not understand what happens to the watts that each recieves. I would like to give the subs no more than 400 watts rms a piece. would each sub actually recieve 750 watts rms off that amp no matter how i wire it? |
