Best Amp for a Single DCON 10"

[Rhythm 10+ year member]

I figured I would post this here instead of another subforum.

I'm thinking of going for a single DCON 10" sub, since it'll give me extra oomph without breaking the bank or too much for what I want.

Any suggestions for an amp?

DCON comes in SVC/DVC 4

That's a ridiculously good price. I wonder if anything is a bit fishy.

Also, beginner question, but since the DCON is a 4ohm amp would I be locked into running it at 4ohms on the amp? Or is there a way to run the 4ohm sub at 2ohms on the amp, giving it a higher RMS.

You will need to add another svc 4ohm sub to run @2ohms,or get another sub that is a DVC4ohm to run 2ohms,but that amp is ready for you to add another sub in the future,and a crazy price! Pay pal has protected me in the past on occasions but that is a great amp by far,and a mono amp too..he should have the bass knob with it also as stated new

Here is a way to configure ohms law to sub woofer wiring to better get the truth about wiring subs and amps to perform best to your needs

So since the sub is a 4ohm sub, it will be ran at 4ohms on the amp, or 350rms as opposed to the 2ohm 500rms?

Edit: According to this: http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=1&I=42#results it would be a 2ohm load, giving me the 500rms.

Color me confused.

Excellent sub woofer choice. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Everyone seems to believe that the sub would absolutely love their amps lol.

Is their any benefit to going with a SVC vs. a DVC or vice versa?
