here's a VERY solid phoenix gold amp:

does rated power at all load 1-4 ohms.

all xenon mono amps are VERY under-rated. this amp will do more than 500W.

not sure how much those other amps cost, but this one is very solid.

i'd definitely get the x400.1

those older xenon's are really overbuilt.

if there were still any x600.1's left you could try one of those, but that's really much more power than you need (800W+)

I just got my box built for my my maw 15 sub it's around 2.4 cubic feet (sealed) and I got my memphis pr600 amp powering it. The specs on the amp are 250x2 @ 2 ohms so I think it should be 500 rms bridged. And I have this sub bridged. On some really low bass the sub starts to make like popping type noises...I can't even explain it. But it don't sound right and something is happening. and it only happens on some really low bass hits. any ideas...?

mine does the same popping thing

well you may want to make sure your amp is 2 ohm stable. that's why mine was popping.

Glad you got it figured out, and the X400.1 is a good idea.

it's 2 ohm stable (phoenix gold xs 2500)

it onle dos it on low bass with the HU turned to 75%

most likely clipping the hu.

.no.

 

[neonrt 10+ year member]

hu at 75%? have you tested to ensure that you are not clipping the signal to the amp?

what kind of hu btw?

 

[jeremiah 10+ year member]

coil reaching backplate

 

[neonrt 10+ year member]

thats not good. how many watts you throwing at it?

i already figured it out...if your even talking to me.

nope not you, jeremiah. read the post right above mine. just wondering how many watts it is taking to hit the backplate. i got about 380rms @4ohm on tap right now, so about 190*2@2ohm. hope its not too much for a maw 15.
