i thank you sir,i was going to use for a pair of heavy 10s/1000rms ea,dvc 2ohm(2sets of subs,2 amps),((, but ran @ 2oclock position,and decided that i wanted to run my 7150s instead(2.one on ea set of subs)but not gonna use the cyclops after all,though it pushed the subs pretty hard @2ohms no doubt.i believe that little amp pushing those subs,its a little monster..100watt mono block?? ya 100watts @8 oclock position..lol

The first amp I ever owned was a Coustic 100a, Favorite amps ever are the MTX BTA 2100 & MTA 225

I believe Coustic and Mtx are made by same company now.

Reply To AUDIOBAUN... (Sorry) ......... Lol! right again! keeping in mind that old subs didn't need that much power like the new ones today, but I'm with you.. that lil' amp is a monster!!! wouldn't ask anything to a new 1500 watt Hifonics!

Oh tailorFail, I could go on all day with you my man.... you see, what got me into car audio was my neighbors 76 Monte Carlo, it had 6 Cerwin Vegas 15s pushed by 3 HiFonics Zeus, you could hear it blocks, and blocks away; Savard... when I 1st started in this business Mr. Bill Savard was still building his subwoofers in his garage and he would personally bring his masterpieces to our shop in Mesquite, Tx. himself! How could I forget! Cadence.... Not to brag, but Cadence brought a van all the way from California so we, My Main Man Rick & I, (I was mostly help tho) would build a demo vehicle for them. It consisted of 16 15" subs, 32 mids & highs, and 24 amps. Believe that made it into trucking and lowrider magazines back in the day; .... I had an 86 Astro van with 4 crunch 18s pushed by 2 Autotek 333s, then replaced subs for Cerwin Vegas Obviously! LOL! and, linear Power, LA Sound, were coming in my next list....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
