Amp: ??

Havent decided on an amp to power my sub yet, im still undecided because i might put in another sub. Dont know yet. An amp for my speakers i found is MTX THUNDER75.4. Hows that?

Can someone recommend me an amp thats less than $200? Also one where i could add another sub to it and it would power both still. Thanks

You get what you pay for in car audio. Remember that.

Unfortunately those are not the good sub but might suffice you, regarding sub amps I suggest get an apsm 1500 for around $125 or a shark audio 2500 for about $115, run it at 2 ohm and when you are ready to get another sub, dont buy another brz just get 2 decent sub and ask here first with a budget.

let me know if you need links

for inexpensive 4 channel you can look at the vvme 4080 which is 4x80w with 2x25a fusing for around $53

it does not have to be expensive to have decent bass

^ don't listen to any of that. Even though the subs are pretty cheap, that doesn't mean you need even crappier amps to complement them.

K lets say i dont have that sub, then what would you guys suggest? I could probably sell it to my friend in full. My budget is somewhere around 300-350 for the subs+amp.. but if you can persuade me to go higher i might

How is my headunit/speakers/other amp?

Also can someone tell me whats wrong with the hifonics sub? Ive only read good reviews

Grab 2-3 hifonics hfx subs for 60-90 shipped and spend like 150-200 on a good amp thats what im doing now the hifonics thump no issues , sell those mtx ive had em only good ones were from back in the day unless you grab a 7500 or 9500

hows your electrical are u willing to add 1 battery at the back?

couple of new subs that are worth looking at will be the shok tritons, c2 audio threatcon subs, older ones which is a little high but still decent priced will be your sundown sa, skar vvx line, psi platform 1.

if i were you ill get a decent sub and a decent box and an alright amp and like i said you dont have to spend a lot of money to get bass

Adding a battery to stock electrical does nothing but add an extra load on your alternator , its only good for running while the car is off whats the point ,its only good when you have a high output alt big enough to charge both batts

I disagree, my factory alternator can charge my front battery and 2 35 ah battery at the back and i have 3 voltage meter that say so, you should not speak if you are not sure.
