What amp?
 

I know nothing about amps, but I bought two 12" subs what do I need for an amp?

Re: What amp?
 

I have 4 10" subs and 4 6x9 for my highs it is powered by Memphis car audio marine amp. The Memphis Belle, One amp powers it all.

Re: What amp?
 

What kind of subs? Single or dual voice coil? Brand? Where are you mounting them? In an enclosure , under a back seat free air? What is the rating on the speaker? Don't just go buy a amp without looking at the above. The memphis is nice stuff , I have to say there amps are bulletproof. I have them in my truck and boat.

I have one under the back seat in a box, the other one I'm considering puting in the cuddy? They are Olympian warrior 300 watts W-124 4 ohms Hifonics. I just want clear crisp sound not out to win any contests.

Boat guy, Your sub will have one set or two set of hook ups where the wires go into it.. If it has one set it is single voice coil....If it has two it is dual voice coil..This info is needed to know what kind of amp you need..

Also a sub is not gonna give you ..clear....crisp....sound it is bass only!!

Re: What amp?
 

The sub has 2 wires coming out of the sub and 4 places for spade connections. I also have 6 6x9s and 2 tweeters powered by a different amp. Appreciate your help

The only sub amps & speakers as far as I am concerned are JL Audio. Put 4 Marine 10" subs on a JL 500 amp, Done!

Re: What amp?
 

Get a JL 500/1 or a 250/1

there are no others better

Re: What amp?
 

Thanks for the info, I checked out their site, I'm sold. Just need to know which one I will need, the 500/1 or the 250/1. Thanks for your help.

Re: What amp?
 

I agree with Linster. I run a JL Audio 500/1 on a 10W6 subs. nothing can touch it.

Re: What amp?
 

when in doubt..go bigger!! power doesnt blow speakers, distortion does, the bigger the amp the less the load, the less the distortion the better the sound.

Re: What amp?
 

Not sure, but I think this one might do the job.
It's a 15,000 watt unit. That's if you don't mind the $21,000 price tag. :)

Re: What amp?
 

with four spades on your subs they should be dual voice coil. This means you need to know if they are now 4 ohm or 8 ohm.? If they are 8 ohm you can wire them to go to 2 ohm for a better amp that is rated for 2 ohm. Please check your subs and if anything talk to someone at your local shop about coorect wiring...VERY IMPORTANT !!!
