[duece212 5,000+ posts]

Lookin for an amp around 250x2 @ 4ohm for my front stage. Anybody running an amp in that range and if so what do you run and what do you think of it?

So far I've been lookin at:

Memphis MCA3004 bridged does 230x2 for $320 shipped

Refurb Kicker 850.2 does 295x2 for $240 shipped (too much power but cheap)

any other suggestions?

A DD C2a is rated at 200x2 most DD's are under rated so it should be pretty close to that.....

CDT M6's and their DRT-26A tweets. 250 is overkill but will see what they can take, things can always be turned down //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

go active, then you won't need all that power //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif But i can't think of any that would be for a decent price. I think Zed audio has one, not cheap though

I ran ef63's passive in the past and dug the shit outta them. Just lookin for something louder with some more midbass this time. I'm a lazy bastard and my hearing isn't that good, that puts passive right up my alley.

Might try active someday...not today though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

sundown 100.4 = 320x2 @ 4ohm

something like a used Arc xxk 2500 i think is 250x2 @ 4ohm

the Kicker ZX550.2 does 205 x2 at 4 ohms. i had that running my rsd's passive.

now i have it on my rsd mids run active. it's way to much power but that doesn't mean i have to use it all.

i think 205 per side should be plenty for most comp sets run passive.

Decided to go that route. Just ordered the m6's and tweets. Ordering up a jl 450/4 here shortly //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
