New member Username: Jrome23Post Number: 1 Registered: Apr-08 | I am looking into buying a new subwoofer but I don't know what is good or not. The one that I am looking at is the MTX RTP212 package. (http://www.amazon.com/MTX-Subwoofer-Amplifier-Package-RTP212/dp/B000150L5I) Is this a decent sub for the price? My old one is an Audiobahn ATB8AT. I am looking to upgrade but don't want to spend too much money. This one sells for about $150. Thanks for any help! |

Silver Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 823 Registered: Aug-07 | everything meaning sub, amp, box..thats my guess. if hes looking at what that link is, hes not gonna need a HO alt or batts or anything like that. |

Silver Member Username: Surferdude9371Im BTL Bumpin Post Number: 851 Registered: Mar-07 | although if you dont buy that exact amp at the link you might be able to find another 4 ohm stable amp cheaper |
Silver Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 826 Registered: Aug-07 | that amp is wayyy too much for that sub! do not buy that combo. the sub is alright however i would try to get an Alpine type-r dual4ohm and try to find a refurbished kicker amp on ebay. |
Silver Member Username: Surferdude9371Im BTL Bumpin Post Number: 852 Registered: Mar-07 | how is that amp way too much for 100 bucks it does 550 rms at 4ohms |
Gold Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois United States Post Number: 1479 Registered: May-07 | Get the dual 4 ohm version and run that amp @ 2 ohms, that will be plenty of power for that sub, with the headroom to add another one on in the future IMO. |
