Amp Recommendation?

[Mr. Wiggles 10+ year member]

I just got two rockford fosgate T2 10's today for a steal ($100), and they are both in a nicely made, large ported box....

I'm looking for a good bang for buck amp that'll get the job done... ideally I'd like to spend $200 or less but I know I might be dreaming...

He may be dreaming but dreaming is a good thing. Your obviously gonna have to get something that puts out some good power, but these subs are very efficent, so a good 500-750 watt amp should be good. You have any brand in mind? And stay positive, you got an awesome deal and that deal will only get better for you.

Probably didn't take them out the box

Probably didn't take them out the box

Was that necessary?

Anyways yeah I took em to my neighbor's sound shop after I got em and they're fine... I bought them off a friend who deals with foreclosed homes and he found them inside one of his houses //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Where have you been looking? I have an arc audio kar900.1 on ebay for 200, so the deals are out there, even for high end stuff.

I went down my local craigslist last night and gave lowball offers to every amp that looked appealing... I ended up picking up a Hifonics Brutus 1600W for $150, and I'm satisfied... These 10's hit like 12's, and I'm loving the notes they hit... I'm on the lookout for midrange solutions now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

PLANET AUDIO BB2400.1 3000 WATT CLASS D MONO AMPLIFIER | eBay

best deal for u

 

[grandam888 10+ year member]

the bb2400.1 is a GREAT deal, actually just bought one off ebay. but for the rms its putting out vs rms of subs i wouldn't recommend it. the bb2400 is too much power for 1600 watts(rms) worth of subs. unless they are dual 2 and he wants to run them @ 2 ohms

i would suggest something in the 1500 watt rms range.
