Need advice. Will I notice an increase of 100w?

[quackhead 10+ year member]

Thanks for all the replies! So since no one said anything about the Audio Control LC2i, does that mean they arent worth it or wont help my problem?
Can anyone comment on this amp? Sound Ordnance M-2250. •500 watts RMS x 1 bridged at 4 ohms (4-ohm stable bridged). Crutchfield has it for $119.99 and it seems to have alot of good reviews for the price. I have a $25 gift card to crutchfield so I would like to find something there...

a waste of money. Crutchfield is a waste of money in most cases.

Another hundred watts probably wouldn't make a difference really. what WOULD make a difference is getting an amp that isn't flea-market... like that JBL or the Boston one brought up.Also, getting a properly designed ported box would probably double your output.

Lmao @ Blaupunkt being flea market.

seriously gets old how every thread on here is someone trying to insert their stuff for sale. apparently u need to re read original post where it states a single 4 ohm driver

Not being familiar with this sub.....I did a search and did not see that there was a svc model made. I thought it was dvc. Assumed typo in post. Now I see (-4 or -44denotes svc or dvc for this model).

I withdraw any attempt to be helpful.....

The LC2i is a good interface. The Accubass feature is basically a single band parametric eq. Will it have a significant effect on a 10" sub in a sealed enclosure on 250watts? Possibly. Will in create clipping while increasing output? Probably. You said yourself the sub sounds good, but you want more out of it.

junk.

And also @ 4 ohm most good 2 channels (like the Boston amps, which by the way are going cheap from Boston closing) can be bridged to make 500 rms. I wants a boston Just Becuaz.

And you know I've probably looked at that amp 3-4 times thinking hard about trying it. They look NICE as heck and perform extremely well.

****. Almost tempted to buy two, one per idmax, except I prefer closer to 1000 per even though people say they don't need it

Get the boston amp, and get a ported box. you'll thank me.

And the rest of the money put into sound dampening the doors and trunk.

Fixed, lulz

OP, I think starting with a properly designed and built ported enclosure would be the easiest and cheapest way to increase output. Who knows, maybe you won't even need a new amp if the ported box helps enough. Just my thoughts.

waste of money $169 for 600 watts when you can get a kenwood for just a little over $100 with 500watts, kenwood amps are not junk they put out rated wattage, their subs are junk but not the amps. if you are spending that $169 you are better off getting a new sub and a new amp.

@jerhemy : You know, you could be less critical of a person trying to help out another person and not question motives (basically.....don't be a ****).

Everyone here is giving their opinions on what is best to do with what they believe to be the present setup and wishes of the person asking for advice. My opinion, though originally misguided, is much like everyone else's......bigger / better box ($$$ and less space when you're done) or amp up ($$$). Either choice will improve present equipment performance. More $$$ spent.....bigger results (no brainer, but budget limits this at times).

@jerhemy: I still got an Alpine MRP M500 for sale....go **** yourself.

100W will NOT be noticeable. Spend that 150$ on a properly deisnged and built box by one of the vendors here and you will definitely notice the difference.
