those numbers are always off by like 1000 watts, especially when they're not name brand...

Shocker

I would buy the subs you want first then buy the amp that is recomended for them. I have 2 JL w10s that sound so much better with the recomended 300 watts of power or my 900 watt rockford fosgate.Which i will sell you if you really want a powerful amp.

only look at RMS values when buying amps. max values are useless.

Cheap amps do not perform to spec as well and may have problems such as overheating etc.

well, i'm ashamed to admit it. but i have to give credit where its due.
that pyramid 1000watt amp. i had 2, one for each alpine type R and they powered them great. never had any heating problems and are still working to this day, in some other kids car. they are about 5 years old now. that system was LOUD.

when i first started doin audio in cars, you get what you payfor, and this is very true... those suck not because they have low/high power, its because they are non brand crap...if you pay 150 for a shotty amp, that has 1500 RMS it will do you no good since its going to crap out on you in a few months. Just spend the money and buy a nice amp, from alpine...

yea wat i think,if i buy a big one and spend 100$ and it blows,so wat its only 100$,and if it works it will be awsome,ill do some research on all teh amp companys before i buy.

my friend bought a 2000w cheapo amp and when he opened it up the manual said it was only rms at 80w, so it barely even hit lol.

Someone said it and they were right, only look at rms values

I'd look for some quality used stuff. If you shop on eBay you can find some really good deals. I just picked up a used Alpine V12 MRV-F505 on eBay for $60 shipped.

Here's that big badass 2400W amp from ebay.

http://www.dealtime.com/xPO-Pyle-Pyle-PLA2...OSFET-Amplifier

RMS Power at 4 Ohms 200 W x 2
RMS Power at 2 Ohms 290 W x 2

Simply.. wow...

Save your money. Get something brand name and quality and you won't regret it a year later.

pyle isnt bad...and power isnt everything if it will blow out your trunk...

Redline08

#24

yea i dont think pyle is bad either, they last, just dont quite destroy your ear drums like jl or alpine

Sinyk

#25

Still, it was an example. 2400W RMS in the description on ebay, and only 290W RMS max. You get what you pay for as they say.

I heard pyle are a pile lol.... never experienced it though so i cant say if they are in fact or not. I stick with names i know

power isnt really everything. I rather buy a lower powered quality amp than a cheaper but more powerful amp.

Ever wondered why the manufacturers give you a "sensitivity" in the specs of subs and speakers? Eg. 89dB/1W

CaliJeff

#28

all the amps listed from that first website given are sucky. they are not name brand, and are most likely either going to blow ur speakers, or the amp itself will fry. i wouldn't really trust and brand except for like mdx, pioneer, jl, audiobahn, eclipse, sony. my preference would lye with jl, and secondary would be audiobahn. no exceptions.

If ya don't mind the extra weight, MTX makes really good amps... They're a bit pricey, but they do run your stuff good. On the contrary though, if your'e going to buy a cheapo sub, then you minus well get a cheapo amp.
