reference 611a
I was looking at this amp to power a single Alpine Type-R dual 4Ohm Sub.
Infinity amps any good/decent? I figured it looks like a good deal and is at least 500rms@2ohms. Inputs anyone?

 

all depends on the budget...if you will never upgrade then just get a decent class D mono amp.

 

Sorry, I forgot to post the link before...Well it is a Class D amp from what I can tell. I wanted to know if that particular amp would be considered decent for it's price.. decent period?

 

It's an older model, but infinity quality is nothing like it used to be ... be wary those seem to come back for repair often.

 

Hmmmmmmm... You're talking about that particular model, new models? Or just Infinity Reference brands in particular?

 

That particular series.

Put it this way - it's better than sony and pyle and all that crap....but I wouldn't put it in my car.

 

Bullocks....

Well scratch that. that leaves Kenwood/Alpine/Arc/JL( may be overkill and out of price range.

By the way, is there a particular site/site where I can find reviews for different company's products (not just a bunch of guys praising it on crutchfield.com) Particular what problems certain models faced, pluses, minuses, etc????

Any thoughts on the Rockford Fosgate Punch P6001bD?

toss up btwn that or a Kenwood.. http://www.kenwoodusa.com/products/L...k3=155&pr=2718

 

some decent cheap 500-600w monoblocks Id vote would be the Alpine MRD-M605, and the Kicker 600.1 Both are pretty powerful and clean, and reliable.

 

ppi, diamond

 

teh refrence's are decent amps & it should push a type-r just fine
make sure you put the type-r in a good box tho!

 

I went with the Alpine MRD-M1005. I got a decent deal on it. It may be overkill for one Type-R, but I guess it's good for future upgrades.

Much better choice, GREAT!

 

If this was 5 years ago....

 

eh, the type ARRRGHH can handle 1000w pretty easily. good choice in amp, and dealer...

 

Thanks Nismos,
LOL at Don's Comment.
And that's good to know mendon

it was a toss up btwn the Arrrg and an Eclipse. Oh well, always room for future upgrades. Now to build a box
Ported or Sealed?.... hmmm

 

I Dont knwo ppi and diamond both make solid amps I am happy with my diamond amp. He did say cheap so that elimnates alot of brands.

 

i woulda taken the eclipse sub.

 

Like I said...5 +/- years ago. DA went to crap and eventually sold and PPI did the same just to be taken over by DEI. Most already know anything DEI touches (security aside) turns to p00p.

 

just get the older stuff then I guess lmao

 

He already got something.

/thread.

 

rather than starting a new thread... lets just append...

I'm trying to design a box on This Site
It was already a pain deciding btwn ported and sealed for my Alpine type R 12'' dual 4ohm sub.
What range should I be looking to tune the port should I go with a ported design?
Going for SQ by the way.

 

For that sub you would want something around 2.0 cu ft prior to sub displacement. Tuning, you would want to go at or below 30 hz, I would go around 28 for an overall better sq with the same gains in output a ported box would give you.

 

2ish cubes anywhere from 28-34 will be fine.

 

The kx600.1 is a good amp and reliable it will withstand a trip to newyork working all the way as do most kicker amps i think i have a kx400.1 and a kx1200.1 also no problems.

 

Well I heard that Kenwood amps were pretty good and they sound good, but I know the new ones have alot of problems am I right? Im tryin to get the older one 8103 I believe for my JBL 12's. Im just trying to find an amp for my 4 tweeters
