Help picking amp

[speakerdude123 10+ year member]

Okay so I got my sub (12'' Alpine Type R, 4 ohms) and a custom box (ported) built now I just need an amp to power that sucker. I've come up with 5 choices of an amp, they are all 600rms at 2 ohms but vary in other categories. They are all around 150 bucks which is what I am looking to spend

Here they are in my order of preference:

1. MTX Audio JackHammer JH600

2. Pioneer GM-D8500M

3. Soundstream STL1.600D

4. Soundstream PCX700D

5. Sony XM-ZZR3301

If you guys have the time to look through these I would appreciate it if you let me know what amp you think would best fit my situation.

Thanks! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Okay well if no one wants to look at em all then I have a question on the fuse rating, some amps have one at 80amps, some have 2 at 30amps, and some have 3 at 25 amps....can any one explain this?

Just add up the total. Many manufacturers use more smaller ones since the smaller value fuses are easier for the end user to find and more smaller may give slightly more current flow.

Dunno much about any of the amps you listed. I'd stick with whatever you can get decent support/service with.

Alright thanks, I'm also looking at some of these wiring kits and they all come with RCA cables, just wondering what those are for, and how they kook up to the system?
