Bronze Member Username: LoudnproudPost Number: 64 Registered: Jul-08 | dont know how good Eclipse is, but you won't get 1100 watts out of it. like you said, its 370X2@4ohms....or 740watts total...the specs I looked up said nothing about being 1ohms stable btw, that is also at 13.8 volts , not 12....so dont expect that much out of it either |

Gold Member Username: Mike_16Reedsburg, Wisconsin Us Post Number: 1027 Registered: Aug-06 | i have 2 ma120xe 12's.. i chose not to get the amp cuz 100 more bucks and i could get a kicker kx1200.1 .an di know that amp does its power and is able to be down to a 1 ohm stable i am pretty sure. so yea i said forget that. Im using my old kenwood kac-929 amp for them right now. they power them ok. right this moment the subs are in a really bad box thats not even mdf. so im glad i made a choice that was good not spending money stupidly. thanx everyone |
Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 10307 Registered: Jun-04 | While eclipse does make some good stuff that amp is not a 1000 watts its the 370 x 2 or whatever it would be in mono which is probably 740. The kicker 1200 is a much better choice and by the way the eclipse amp is not 1 ohm stable. |

Gold Member Username: Loc_outSOCAL2 RE 15 XXX Post Number: 2420 Registered: Feb-05 | Just keep in mind that kenwood is rate at 14.4 volt. RMS Power at 4 Ohms: 150 W x 2 RMS Power at 2 Ohms: 230 W x 2 |
