i am purchasing the amp below very soon. right now i have 2 10" MTX Thunder 4000's. (400 watts peak/200 rms). I was wondering if the amp will be able to BUMP the two and if possible, would it be able to BUMP 3 of them? Thanks in advance. (i'm a bass head)

If MTX made a 6 ohm version of that sub it looks like you would be set. 6ohm/3speakers = 2 ohms = good. 4ohm/3speakers = 1.3ohm = bad, for that amp anyway. 4/2 = 2 ohms = good, but 600 watts for two subs that are only good for 200 each is a bit much.

 

i know its too much for just 2 subs but its the only amp i couldn't find an amp that put out 400 watts at 2 ohms. let me know if you know of one so i could look into that. if i my amp is too much for the subs, can it mess it up or can i just set it up so that they only get 200 watts rms? thanks in advance

 

Just tweak the gains down so that you don't get audible distortion. There will still bea chance of blowing the subs, but that's just an excuse to get new subs. Harrison Labs have a few nice class D amps that will put out 400 watts and they have two or three different versions to match impedance. Try: www.hlabs.com

 

know of any others around 200 bucks or so??
