AMP Suggestion for an off the wall mini build.

[why3zx]

Hey guys, got an idea in my head and am running with it.

Wife has a little hatch back, she wants some bump but doesn't want to sacrifice room, so my mind has started wandering..

I have Stang building me a T-Line box for one Massive Audio SUMMO64 6.5" sub. box will be wide and short at only 7.5" inches tall. Tuned to 50HZ.

This sub is only rated at 300W and this is going to be a cheap and dirty build. And I kind of want to put the screws to this sub and see what It can do with a good box and a bunch of power. And at 70$ I sure don't mind popping one to find its limits!

So what cheap and dirty amp suggestions do ya have with budget being the biggest factor? Size being the second biggest factor. But above all, enough power to push to this subs limits!

Thanks!!

what exactly do you mean by dirty amp?

 

[why3zx]

I just mean price point over ultimate quality/sound quality.

CAB 1600.1 is the forum boner right now

how much $/ power? cab is huge and very strong, if u want real cheap that works well (they get warm only 2 ohm stable) get autotek sma 1600 500rms have 1 here in box but shippings a pain look on amazon., if u want good, strong and cheap get ppi p1k like mine $153..

Skar 550.1 is small, cheap and does about 500w.

Subs in tlines generally do not like being over powered

Thanks for the suggestions!

Looks like that SKAR is discontinued. A few places still have some stock but for the price I am kind of leaning towards the Massive E2. 400W RMS at 4ohm should be enough to see what the 6.5 will take in a T-Line.

Anyone have any experience pounding on a single 6.5?

pounding isn't a description you will find fulfilling for a single 6.5 even in the best possible enclosure.

Hey there, I am no stranger to pounding with a tiny driver!! Haha.

Might have a line on a used JL 500/1V2. Gonna be fun to see what this little sub will take!

nobody has offered up an argument from the CAB 1600.1 thus far, for 200 bones, kinda hard to argue with. as @adulbrich said, it is the forum boner right now, seems like for good reason

I was able to pick up that JL amp for cheap, so now its just a wait on the box, driver showed up and its a cute little bugger!

500/1 is a great amp. T-line will push mechanical limits on a sub, you'll likely bottom it out and break it mechanically before the coil fails.
