Shopping for a AMP, but...............

[Slap_my_momma]

Kind of a silly question, but maybe someone here can clear this up for me.

I am going to be buying a custom box with (2) 10" subs, they are both 4ohms and RMS that I need to provide to each woofer is 500 watts rms.

What I am looking for one (1) single amp to push both of these subs.

Now do I need to look for a mono-block type amp or a 2-channel?

Would these specs work for my application:

Xxample:

An amp that is 1500W, is a 2-Channel which has an Power Output of:

375W Maxx x 2 @ 4 ohms

750W Maxx x 2 @ 2 ohms

1500W Maxx x 1 @ 4 ohms

Would this amp with these specs work for my application of SUBs I will be using 2-subs @ 4ohm each to gain at least 500watts rms?

If not, what kind of amp / spec wise will I need to look for to gain the most power? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Thanks all.

first dont look at max watts you want RMS watts

 

[plugitin 5,000+ posts]

find 1000 watts rms at 1 ohm...

mono amp will work fine

Yup

I am looking to spend ruffly about $175.00

The two amps I am looking @ are:

AutoTek AT1500 & Power Acoustik LFA2-1800

From my understanding and reading about Ohm loads.

I can have (2) 4-ohm subs, then run on each sub (-) to each other then the (+) to each other then on a amp, if it is 2-ohm stable, I put the (-) to the amp (mono/bridge) (-) and the (+) on the (+) on the amp (mono/bridge) and it will make both my subs go into a 2-ohm load. Is this correct??

you need 1000 rms at 1 ohm then not 2 ohms neither of the amps u said will do that.

the at2000 will so will the gpv 2000.1 lemme know if ya want 1 i have a warehouse full of them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif 160 shipped
