Pretty sure most of us are going to ignore Surge Audio after the last fiasco he pulled with Wolfram,lol.

So, did anyone ever figure if that is the same guy?

Is 600 watts ideal to power the 10 or 12” Brahma Mk2.5 or should I plan on more amp?

1000 is ideal. There are 2 versions of the Brahma - a 1kw version and a 1.5kw version.

Checked out for a bit, came back to a bunch of redacted posts!

If 1000 is ideal, I may be better served with two amps. JL handles 1000rms as well, but they show a sweet spot where it’s ideal which is below the rms. Sounds like the Brahma isn’t the same…

They list dual 2 and dual 4 as VC options. What are the basic reasons for picking 2 vs 4?

It depends on how many subs you plan on running and what the amp is stable at.

Since you're just using 1 sub in the center console, you would buy the sub that works best with your amp. Assuming your amp is 1ohm stable, get a dual 2 and wire it in parallel. If your amp is only 2ohm stable, get a dual 4 and wire parallel.

Not sure what that means as of yet. This is a snapshot that may provide some answers:

I think that he's considering the Sony XM-5ES 5-channel car amplifier

• 100 watts RMS x 4 + 450 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms
• 165 watts RMS x 4 + 750 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms
• 330 watts RMS x 2 bridged at 4 ohms + 750 watts RMS x 1 at 2

That could work. Albeit a little underpowered and for the price, I'd do a couple of other amplifiers.

Suggestions?

I was thinking about that. What kind of space are we talking about?

And are you still working with the Polk's?

I’m open to suggestions on the polks. They looked like a decent speaker based on power and I filtered results based on have silk tweeters. I may be wrong, but I thought I read silk was the way to go for SQ.

I could probably fit the amps behind the back seat, but it’s pretty tight. I’ll have to look tomorrow. It’s a 2004 ram quad cab. They squished the back seats pretty tight to the back wall. I believe they get even closer when the back seat base is folded up. I can relocated the factory jack that lives under the passenger seat. The center jump seat that’s getting removed for the box is 15”W by 20”L and I want it to be pretty close to the 15” tall that it currently is when in arm rest mode.
