desenutz Unregistered guest | i was thinking bout the mtx thunder 404 or precision power PCX-440 are those good for quality sound?? i can get those for a good price |

desenutz Unregistered guest | any other people have opinions? |

DN Unregistered guest | Im hooking-up two crappy Legacy amps, and I was stuck wondering if I should use an 8ga power wire, or a 4ga power wire. With these kind of amps you can't ever tell what the true wattage is, but one says its max is 400, and the other says 240. I don't know the rms is on either of them. so : 4ga or 8ga? |
|
DN Unregistered guest | To add to my question before, I was going to run a 4ga wire to a splitter, to 2- 8ga wires. One 8ga to each amp. Is that cool? or no? |

New member Username: GlasswolfPost Number: 349 Registered: 12-2003 | you're doing well. to figure a rough RMS rating from a max rating, divide by 4. That's not always totally accurate, but generally speaking, max is about 4X RMS. Also remember if the amp says "1600 watts max!" instead of per channel etc, that usually means it's 1600w Max, bridged which equates to a stereo 2 Ohm load if it's a 2 channel amp, so you have to divide down to a stereo 4 Ohm load first. yeah run 4AWG to the amp locale, then split with a distro block to 8AWG. that's good, and the same way I ran my Orions. here's a guide to wire gauges for length, current, wattage, etc: http://www.the12volt.com/info/recwirsz.asp |

DN Unregistered guest | Thanks Glasswolf. It seemed to make sense to do it that way, but I'm glad that I made sure. |

New member Username: GlasswolfPost Number: 359 Registered: 12-2003 | well.. I did answer you, too  MTX's Thunder series amps are nice. good performers, plenty of power, good price. in the moderate price range. not dirt cheap, but not high priced. |
|
desenutz Unregistered guest | i am talking to the other guy not u but yeah thank you for ur opinion anyone else has opinions?? |
|
desenutz Unregistered guest | one more question bout the mtx thunder 404 http://www.mtxaudio.com/caraudio/products/amplifiers/thunder404.cfm says something about a cross over and high and low, im not that good with these kind of stuff, but does that mean i can set the front speakers to HIGHS and back speakers to LOW?? i know you can do that with a 2 way crossover..is this option included in this amp?? thanks |
|
New member Username: GlasswolfPost Number: 366 Registered: 12-2003 | yeah. you can set fronts to 85Hz high pass for components, and rear to low pass at 85Hz for subs (stereo or bridged) the XO point is fixed, but you can set it to high or low pass, or full range. nice amp. |

desenutz Unregistered guest | Punch 301X Punch 501X are these good amps?? if i were to pick between the two of these for my speakers...which one should i get?? |
|
New member Username: GlasswolfPost Number: 516 Registered: 12-2003 | not familiar with the exact stats on those two models. |
|
desenutz Unregistered guest | the mtx thunder 404 only provie 35 x 4 watts rms..is dis enuff to power my speakers and make it sound good and loud?? or should i get an amp to has give more power then the speaker can handle(i wont turn the amp all the way up and blow out my speaker) are fosgate amps good in your opinion? |
