How do you power a single RL-S?

Single VC 4 ohm, 1200 watts RMS?!?! How many amps can do that at 4 ohm? I looked around a bit and saw that the PG Xenon 1200.1 seems to be the best option, but why the hell are these subs only available in single 4 ohms? What gives?

A lot.

but why the hell are these subs only available in single 4 ohms? What gives?

Last I heard there still wasn't a good way to do that VC design in DVC

Just look at 2 channel amps and large amps (i.e. orion 2500D)

yeah an orion 2500d would do the trick

So expensive... and it'd be a waste to get the Orion and only use half of its potential...

 

[XtrmAudioCncpts 10+ year member]

no because at 4 ohm it would put out a bit more

How? You are using it to it's potential at 4ohms........

1200 @ 4 ohm, plus it's prolly ovarated a lil bit... but still, out of 2500 watts, I'd rather get the PG and save a lil money.

a visonik 4000d would do it too, and a viper2500.1 would as well. there are quite a few amps that will.

but remember, any setup that has anything to do with the RLS will usually not be a beginner\inexpensive install. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

An Orion 2500? Not brand new, I assume... If so, where the hell can I find this deal?

Or pick up an amp like a tantrum 1200.1 or JL Slash series.
