Need help picking an amp.........

[Doola36 10+ year member]

Okay I need help picking an amp for a pair of Boston Acoustics G5 10s. I was told that they can handle more than the 450 RMS each sub is rated. I was thinking about a MD1D which is a 1200 watt amp but I just wanted to see what others here have to say. So let me know a few amps that I should consider for my pair of boston G5s.

Thanks in advance......LAwrence

So the AQ 1200 is better than the MD1d 1200? Hifonics is cool but I would prefer others.

Anybody else have any thoughts of what amp would be perfect for the G5s?

Those are prolli the two best good quality economical amps in that power range out there. Could also check out the Sundown SAE-1000D, another popular choice.

Elemental Designs Nine.1. I bought one on here for cheap. They are good for 1200 watts @ 1 ohm(@ 12.5v)

hmmmm not sure what about Audiopipe 15001D its about 1000 watts rms @ 2 ohms depends on if the subs or dual 2 or dual 4 ohm.....and believe me it puts out real watts on a stock electrical system

The subs are dual 4 ohms subs. I am going to take a look around on the ed and audiopipe amps.

Anybody else have any other amps they think would be good for my pair of G5s?
