[QUOTE="Elec, post: 2182640, member: 570861"] Hey guys, heres a typical "what amp?" thread. Tonight I hooked up a MTX 7512A in a Sledgehammer box to a 1000W sony amp, which is supposed to produce 400 watts rms x 1 at 4 ohms, exactly what the sub needs. BUT, the sub seems to be underpowered unless the gain on the amp is maxed out (wouldnt that burn the amp out over time?)

Me and my buddies came to conclusion that the sony amp is a pile of ****.

P.S. everything was wired with 4 gauge wire, no capacitor, but headlights do not dim so im assuming that so far i have enough power. Also, im on a budget, id like to spend no more than $200 on the amp :o [/QUOTE]
