I have the sub, need recommendation on amplifier!

[IonRL205 10+ year member]

There are a lot of budget amps that do well. People keep telling me my Hifonics is shit. But I would recommend that amp to anyone on a budget. It has done AMAZING for me...

I had a brz2100 but this apsm1500 has better low end response

The brz fell off at 25 hz, i can play 23 hz with the apsm

Would you recommend the Boston Acoustics over the AP and SSL?

He could also look at a Boston GT2125. They're 110 on Sonic and will definitely be an improvement over both the AP and SoundStorm...

This this this...do not buy audio pipe ...buy the boston iball

Boston Acoustics is pretty good quality.

And it's rated at 400w @ 4 Ohm's?

That amp is rated 125x2 @4ohms.

Correction: NM It's bridgeable.

400w @ 4 ohms bridged, yes

 

[iball1804 10+ year member]

I'm assuming that's not really what I want.

Bridged it does 400rms@4 ohms

 

[iball1804 10+ year member]

400w @ 4 ohms bridged, yes

But I'll only have a single sub.

You bridge the amp to run it sorta like a mono. So, yea, that would work for you.

Why not.?

Bridging the two channels basically makes it into a mono channel amp. It would be like 400 watts x 1 @ 4 ohms which is perfect for you.

You connect the positive of your sub to one channel and the negative to the other.

How exactly would I 'bridge' the amp? How is it wired differently?

It's that easy??
