Help Picking An Amp

[tiqs]

New to the forums, bare with me.

I'm fairly new to car audio. I have Two Pioneer TS-W308D4's in a vented box.

1400 max/400 rms. Dual 4ohm voice coils. I'm feeling the need to upgrade my amp to push my subs harder (the one i have now is a Sony xplod xm-zzr3301) and I need your recommendations and why.

Budget is under $300.

Thanks!

That doesn't really help us in helping you achieve your goal. First off, how many watts do you want to send to your subs and how much are you giving them now? Then, what ohms are your subs wired to? And most importantly, your budget. Saying "nothing extreme" doesn't really define what that means for you. Some people on here thinks $300 are not extreme, but that doesn't mean it's not for your budget

Subs are wired to 4 ohms. My amp is giving 330 rms at 4 ohms. It's rated at 600 rms at 2 ohms, but I would have no idea how to wire it down to that.

Budget fixed on original post.

that amp would only do 1700 watts for about 6 seconds. then the magic smoke would arise and it would be scrap.

no 1200 watts wont push a sub rated for 1k, why would it do that.

and TL is term lab it the number that comes up is your score in decibels. if you dont have that than you have no room to talk.

sorry, this guy just has a lot comming.

as far as amps that mb quart will set you up very nicely. sorry about the thread jack.

will my subs be stable at 1 ohm?

and since my subs are native at 4 ohms and pushing 400 rms each of them, i should ideally be getting an amp that pushes 800 rms at 4 ohms or 2?

Just got a good deal on a MB Quart Onyx or Sundowns ain't bad. I was looking to see if you could wire a 4 ohm DVC for 2 ohms.....don't think so....
