What amp

[Allan-]

I just got a new Mutant NW1250x (Thanks Mike172sport)
Anyway im after an amp to power it or possibly 2 as i might get a second, Its 500w RMS and 1000W max power,
Anyone recommend a decent amp that would power it or one that would power 2 of these.

do i not have to match the RMS on the sub with RMS on the amp to get a continuous level of good sound?

 

[Dink]

well you are really supposed to get an amp that has a slightly higher rating than the sub.

 

[Allan-]

so i should be looking at an amp with 500+ rms ?
will have to check ebay

500wRMS @ 4 ohms.

 

[Allan-]

its just says 500 watt rms it doesnt say if its at 4 or 2 its and NW1250X Mutant
just googled for some mutant stuff and they have an amp which is 500 watt rms so might opt for that

yes if it is 500wRMS @ 2 ohms it will only do about 250wRMS in to 4 ohms(that sub is 4 ohms)

that amp only does 300wRMS into 4 ohms

[Allan-]

so you think its 250 @ 4 ohms so i can look for somthing around the 300 watt rms level and that should be perfect?

 

[Dink]

well the amp output depends on the load(the sub).

the jbl one i posted above will put 424wRms into one sub
