What amp to get for this setup?

Well it looks like I have to sell the current stuff that never got used //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

I want to drive a single 12" RE-SE in a sealed box and these components: http://www.cdtaudio.com/hd_zseries.htm

The 62Z 6.5's

What amp will get the most out of them and for what cost? Suggestions please. TIA

How much you are willing to spend is very important. It can be anywhere from $300 to $3000 that accomplishes the same thing.

If forgot to mention the 12 is a dual voice 4 Ohm

I would say $500 and below.

maybe a strong 4 channel

 

I am not just saying that because I have a NIB Orion 8004 for sale

 

but because it might be the cheapest way to go

Id go wit ha JBL BP-600.1, or the Alpine MRD-501 as the sub, and probably and Orion 4004, bridged to 2 channels for the comps.

thats only 100w to each side of the comps (which is fine anyway), but then since sub is dual 4 ohms, and the amp not stable to 2 ohm bridge (I don't think), thats not a lot of power to the sub.

How does Cadence compare to US Amps? The two US Amps are $700 which is kind of out of my league and the two Cadence are $565 which will fit. I will dig up the money for the US Amps if they are worth the extra cash all that much.
