Budget amp to go with ID10?

[Sluggz]

I have also read about it a lot and almost went with it as well. The only downfall that I found with the Brazilian amps is they can get a little "toasty" if not wired correctly .

I saw a video on YT of a guy saying to NOT mount those amps on sub enclosures as well… Maybe the Alpine is not a bad idea lol

Tons of people are running Taramps without a problem. Keep your voltage above 12 and you will be fine.

At this point I wanna hear about your stereo.

I have three vehicles at the moment. Jeep did 160.3dB in Super Street 4 at a DB Drag show last weekend, my other two are modest using 5 and 6 channel amp to power everything. Can you guess which I never have to worry about blowing up woofers in?

Either one of these will work and they are very small and budget friendly.

Would it be safe to run this with the ID10? The sub is 300w rms and 600 peak

Yes it will be safe. Just adjust the amp settings correctly.

Thanks Bobby. What gauge wire should I run from the sub? Would 12 gauge be too small?

12 gauge is fine in that application.

Thanks buddy

12 gauge is overkill from the amp to sub but if you got it, use it. Otherwise I’d save a little coin and get 14-16 if you are purchasing new.

Would it hurt anything or just too much wire?

Personal preference dude. Just get whatever you can afford.

Nope, it won’t hurt a thing. It just seems like you’re on a tight budget so I’d get the smaller wire to save a little. Up to you though!

Thank you Cliff! I am on a budget but I will spend on stuff like wiring. I think you recommended Knu wires I bought some for my door wiring

Knu is good stuff. These days I go for the best deal I can get for ofc. I have a stock of Knu, Sky High, Tsunami, all good stuff for sure.

All of the reviews on Amazon for Knu were stellar
