[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8720545, member: 614752"] Must have been thinking of a different dyno recently. I hate supporting companies that rate a 900W amp at 3000W on general principal, but I do remember Kenwood or Pioneer or one of them had a couple decent ones making the budget gem category not long ago, really hoped someone would chime in with something like that. That Rockford sub should be decent but D4 ohm puts you at a 2 ohm load to the amp. If you can find a good 500W sub amp or 5 channel amp with a 400-600W sub channel that puts out to 2 ohm that may be a good option. The point being make sure your amp will make its power into 2 ohm if you buy that sub. Comparable 500W sub that's a proven strong performer would be Dayton: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-um12-22-12-ultimax-dvc-subwoofer-2-ohms-per-coil--295-512[/URL] This one will be a 1 ohm load at the amp so if you chose a 1 ohm stable amp it may wind up working out better. I'd avoid PA stuff, horns, super tweeters and similar. 99% of the time they just sound awful. [/QUOTE]
