[FalconXtreme 10+ year member]

hey i wanna get a pair of these subs http://7925.adahost.com/computer/item12811.html but i just cant get a hang of trying to pick an amp. i want an amp that'll run both of them at their rms power on a parrell circuit i guess(that'd be best right?). so if someone could tell me what amp to get that would be great. thanks.

p.s. this is a budget system so keep that in mind. ty

y whats wrong with them? on paper they look good. im getting a sub&amp setup for my friend for his bday so its not like im gonna be going to spl comp with them or anything. this is on a high skool budget too.

and if they are such crap can someone recommend me a 2 10 and amp combo for cheap(under 500)

why not get something that looks good on paper and will also sound good.

and since your on a high school budget go to http://www.adireaudio.com and pick yourself up a pair of Mark III Shivas for $125 apiece. saving you 8 dollars!

or if you want 10"s check out the diamond cm3's theyll run you about 160 or so from an authorized dealer internet about 100

budget amp wise check around for deals on used/refurbed amps

or go new profile type amp

What about 2 12" Type R each for 115 and a profile amp like the Cl800 like $140 you can find those prices at ikesound.com

IMO that´s cheap and not bad at all....

hope that helps

2 10'' or 12'' adire Shivas ($250 for both plus s&h, http://www.adireaudio.com) +

Profile CA-1200 (950rms @ 4ohms bridged, not stable @ lower impedances when bridged) (~$200 shipped, ikesound.com or thezeb.com)

all this equals around $500 shipped. nice huh? and this will beat the shit out of those volfenfags.
