[QUOTE="94Integra, post: 8534967, member: 671656"] I am currently running an old 4 channel Fosgate 500-4 for my sub. It was meant to be more of a temporary setup which I would then move the amp to run my speakers. I love the clarity of these old Fosgate amps but I don't feel as if I have enough power for my Phoenix Gold 12 RSDC sub. Its in a sealed box with the correct space according to the PG manuals. I want more sound from this baby without necessarily compromising the clarity and control the Fosgate puts out. Even though I am 17 my Dad has been a big car and home audio guy buying high end gear from McIntosh, Soundstream and Precision Power back in the day. Being that he grew up in the 80's and 90's I have become a big fan of old school stuff hence my current amp. Been looking at a few amps on eBay such as: MTX Thunder 280, MTX Thunder, 275X Amplifier, MTX 2200X, Orion 250SX and more. My main question is if I run with a more powerful MTX amp for my sub will I lose clarity over my current Fosgate? With more power will I see a overall improvement with how loud it is being in a sealed enclosure? Thanks [/QUOTE]
