1. Exile X300.2 $199 CAD 300W Bridged at 4 ohm(seems like alot)

2. MTX TC 2002 $183 CAD 200W Bridged at 4 ohm

3. JBL GTO 75.2II $183 CAD 97W Bridged at 4 ohm

4. Phoenix Gold Octane R252 $139 CAD 150W Bridged at 4ohm

5. Pioneer GM 3300TT $112 CAD 150W Bridged at 4 ohm

Which of these seems to be the best deal?

They will be powering an 8" single coil 4 ohm sub of 150- 200 Watt.

Thanks

id go with a memphis Mclass over all of those. its a tad bit more expensive, but worth every penny. itll do circles around the others

the JBL

it's not 97 bridged at 4. It's 97x2 at 4, 290 bridged. It's more power than you need, but it's a good quality amp, and you can keep your sub safe by setting the gain accurately. If you decide at some point to change things up the JBL would make a good component amp too.

I would go JBL or Exile.

thanks for the replies.

I will most likely go for the JBL that makes 290 Watt bridged at 4 ohm.

What difference will there be if i get a Dual voice coil versus a Single voice coil and 2 ohm versus 4 ohm with this particular AMP?

I've been looking at the JBL amps. they look **** sexy.

If you run it bridged, you'll need an SVC 4ohm or DVC 2ohm.

The JBL

Sorry

I meant would a SVC 4 ohm OR a DVC 2 ohm sub be better for

the JBL GTO 75.2II amp or does it not matter at all?

Thanks

No, they are equal. Only benefit is the DVC has the possibility of different final impedances (Wiring options)

The DVC can be wired to either 1 ohm or 4 ohms.
