Amp for RSD65cs

[ascitiesburn69 10+ year member]

Ok i just bought a set of RSD65cs and they sound pretty good for the price once i got my EQ set right on my 9887. Well this summer i plan to get a HDC3 and have about 1300rms going to it and so i really need some more power to my comps so they can keep up. I know people have put 150rms to these and they handle it fine but im thinking i want anywhere between 100-150rms to each side. Ive been looking at a PG v1502 amp just to match the comps and thats 150x2rms@1%thd though....Also i was looking at a Powerbass asa400.2 or 600.2 which are 100x2 and 150x2 respectively...and i also saw the MB quart pab2100..All of them are about the same price...and i just recently saw the cerwin vega EXL350.2 which is 150x2 and seems pretty nice..However i have never owned anything cerwin vega so idk if it does rated and cleanly or not.

Anyone have suggestions or recommendations.

so i shouldnt put 150 to each side? I read a couple people frying their tweeters because they put 150 to each side but i figured they didnt know how to set gains

I wouldn't throw that much power to those comps. Check millionbuy for a Profile amp...

Not to start anything, but WHAT?????!!!!!!
I know people sending the tweets 100 wrms actively(1 person has 200 wrms- X200.4), no issues. If it were you or someone else that lost the tweets, either something wasn't set up right or just a bad set from the get go.

I didn't have any issues sending mine (passively) 250 wrms for a short period. That was before I went active w/them then to the (current) PG Ti6 elites.
