another quick amp question..

[rt_racer]

ok as i said in my previous post about wiring kits i have just installed 2 of these subs: http://caraudiosecurity.com/catalog/product_info.php+products_id+1391http://caraudiosecurity.com/catalog/product_info.php+products_id+1391

there all fitted up fine so have now moved onto finding an amp. Now my spending limit is probaly £150 or around that mark cant really go much higher. Anyway im sure i read on another forum that although this sub is 250rms i should be feeding each sub with around 500rms?? Surely the sub would blow? Or are they very under-rated??

Anyway i just found this amp on E-Bay which seems ok? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4950&item=5736530828&rd=1http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4950&item=5736530828&rd=1 wondering anyones opinions? Or should i feed it with less power? i wanna squeeze the most power out of the subs as poss without blowing them so any help would be greatfull =) sorry for makin 2 new topics i forgot to include this with the last question.

Good subs them had one in my last car and much impressed! Ive got two 12" pioneer 800w (peak) 400w (rms) and ive got two Vibe BB2s and all seams well! I would if cash allows get two seperate amps to run each sub. Hope this helps.

Ps. those subs are only £49.99 in Halfords

isnt it £49.99 for the 12s, cos i got the 15s

(not finished yet lots to do still, parcel shelf will be going and replaced with amp shelf etc)

anyway i would prefer to run 2 amps but for £150 budget i dont think thats gunna leave me with many options?

 

[Djw Dave]

Opps sorry fella thought they were the 12s my fault. Should look good when its finished. I need to get up some of my work in progress pics of my install.

please steer clear of that amp!! although it will only just over power them, as the subs are 250 rms and 4hom VCs that amp pushes (supposedly) 2* 300rms into 4ohms.

But its not a great amp - especially for that money! eg this

thanks wont bother with that one then . . that amp above, would that run the subs to their full potential?

yeah the one Rorrie linked to would be ideal for those 2 15s
