Post Number: 1 Registered: Aug-08 | alright i'm pretty new into car audio. right now in my jeep i have two twelve inch mtx 4500 series subs. i know its a pretty weak system, but i bought it off ebay for cheap, only with the intentions to hold me over until i had the money for a better soundsystem. i'm getting three memphis power reference 12's (250 watts RMS, 500 peak) they have dual voice coils and a 4 ohm impedence. i was wondering if anyone could give me any suggestions on what kind of amp to get? the cheaper the better, but i'm not looking for horrible quality. just something to get the job done, and done loudly. any advice would be greatly appreciated |
