Nope didnt over look anything, SSF. Think that would be a problem? i have an Equilizer.. (

Yeah, that is a bit much for an amp. I still have to buy like one or two amps for my fronts..

hold on so you can't play your "subs" lower than 8 ohms..

I have never heard of a sub having a set impedence

No.. i it says it lowest impedence is 4ohms, 8ohms and 16ohms

well according to this atleast...

please tell me i can go lower... all the amps i can find are pretty expensive.

 

[djjdnap 10+ year member]

lol, basically what it's sayin is that you can only wire it down to 4 ohms and can only wire up to 16.

Because you can't wire two 8ohm subs down to 2 or 1ohm, Now if you had some 4ohm subs you could wire them down to 2ohms and up to 8 ohms....

I hope that made since, I would still go wt the jbl though.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif But thats me.

Yeah thats what i thought. I wasnt sure if i was missing something, Im tring my hardest to learn here.. but sometimes it just gets soo confusing. Im tring to Figure out what amp to get, so i get better sound Output.. but now im limited to Amp that i have NEVER heard of for prices so rediculous.

Your Right about that JBL. it is the best bang for my buck from what i can tell. I did alot of searching. The JBL has the best Frequency range.

The only other two amps i have found so far that are good too Is the Profile CL1200, and the MTX 942 (bridged). That MTX has a nice Output.. for its price.. but im unsure about its Quality compared to others.

Avionixx and and Arc have supposed good amps. For 500 Dollars.. (ouch) IM still searching just in case tho...

I just cant believe that all the amps i was really hyped about getting are no good.

Hey if anyone knows of a good amp for cheap.. please, mention it. (High Watts @ 4ohm)

Come on man.. u always help!

i meant http://www.purecaraudio.com

there prices are low but not as low as the stores on ebay..

it's 279$ for the jbl 1200.1, and you said 4ohms so it's 600 watts at 4 ohms.

But 600 watts should be enough.

I have one 8 ohm rockford and i just turned it up today and it beats, i still have yet to crank it all the way because i don't feel like drivin back to best buy to get another one. hmm it still hasn't been 30 days i should get my money back so i can get my orion h2's.. i thin ki'll do that tommorow. ....dam i gota get a physical so i can go to football practice tommorow:banghead: not enough time for the fun things in life

Correction here. Shivas are DVC and each coil is rated at 8 ohms. You can get 2 ohms out of 2 Shivas if you wanted to.
