need suggestions for a new amp: subs are 500-1000 RMS

Hey guys I currently have 2 RF DVCs (old schools 2210s) that are being pushed by a RF 250a2 bridged mono. I suspect the subs are getting around 550 or 600 watts together. I am looking for a amp suggestion that would get me in the 750 or 800 watts RMS a apiece for each amp. The setup I have right now isn't bad and she definitely sounds a lot louder than she looks, but I want something that is really going to pound those subs out. I'm looking at spending between $400 - $600 dollars. These are 4ohms that can be bridged down to 2. Let me know what your suggestions are.

check out the MTX 801d a pair of them would be about $500 and you would have some serious power for each sub.

what's the impedence on the subs... cause you could always get the Memphis MC1100D which is 1100 watts @ 1 ohm. That'll really get those babies thumping.

If there Dual 4 then your final load is 1 0hm. I would look into a ED9.1, $350 brand new with warranty. Also, T1000 will work well, as well as a Kicker 1200.1. Im not to fond of Memphis amps, there subs are very good however. Theres a article/review in Carsound that states the Memphis only puts a little less thann 1000 watts but does it with a high THD.

The bad thing with Memphis, is to hit the power levels they say, you have to be running the amp at 13.8 volts constantly. But I have seen first hand the MC1100D push 1000 watts @ 1ohm with 12.5 volts

The really nice feature with the M Class amps is they're easily bridged together with the units. And the new MadMax series is just a power house.

They're PR series isn't all that great. The Mojo was a awesome series... and M3 could handle itself pretty well. But recently they've dumped their money into the M Class and Madmax.

I wouldnt doubt the amps does its rated power at a proper voltage but for such a highly respected company and a amp with a hefty pricetag I expect more than what its rated for. I've personally ran a few different Memphis subs and have been happy with all of them.

you don't need to amp a sub to it's max rms rating to get them loud. Wil's95SE, what kind of box do you have them in now?

Yeah no kidding. Look at my setup



It used to be hard to breath with my old system with the windows up.

I find it hard to breath with the new setup and the WINDOWS DOWN!!!! That's only with 4 12" MClass and 500 watt Memphis amp. Can't wait till I stuff that new MC1100D in my truck
