What are some Good Amps that Do 300-400 wrms x 2?

I need an amp to power some boston pros, I know Eclipse has a good amp that does like 400 x 2 but I forget what its called. Also these speakers are 3 ohm if that accounts for anything

If you want 300x2 then id go with the USAmps Merlin MD22 or the MD23.

If you want 400x2 then id go with the USAmps AX1000..

For the boston i would go with the USAmps Merlin MD23 myself.

http://www.usamps.com look for a dealer near you, if you have none, call the closest and order your amp from there, trust me, you wont regret it.

I know those are probably the best 2 channel amps I could get with the power I want..But I dont feel like spending an arm and a leg on the amp

any other suggestions?

These amps arent very expensive man, just call up the dealer and find out, it will be worth it. Trust me, you will get what you pay for.

JL Audio makes good amps. But how much are you willing to spend.

 

[Starky 10+ year member]

Why don't you get a monoblock sub amp?, it would be cheaper and more efficient then a huge 2channel amp.

Or, if you're thinking of powering components.

Why in hell would you want that much power for mids and tweets?, over powering you're mids and highs can make you system sound shitty (too loud in comparison to the bass, Bad RTA curve).

400 is pretty ridiculous for components, some guys are crazy for headroom, but its pretty pointless having THAT much... unless those components are like 70dBs w/m then //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

^^^^x2 400w is a LOT for components. hehe heck im running 80w off my rainbows and its louder than ill ever wantem.

if it is for components even for subs look at hte IS line for usamps its for the people on a budget, right up your alley I have a 4 channel running 2 idqs and a pair of coaxes in my friends car, the same 2 subs were cleaner (of course) and louder than off my viper.
