What sub for 300RMS

[ItalynStylion 10+ year member]

Alright guys, I have a PPI 600.4 that has the front two channels being used for my front stage and I have the rear stage unused. I would like to use them to power a sub but im sort of limited on power so i need some suggestions.

Each channel puts out 75RMS at 4 ohms so that means I can get 300 RMS with both channels bridged at 2 ohms right? Thats what I have to work with, what subs should I be looking at?

(By the way SQ is what im going for but the more bump the better )

I was thinking about a 10" type R DVC 2 ohm but im not sure thats enough power for it. I also looked at the new version of the 10W3V3-2 http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7252.html I was thinking that it might make better use of the 300 watts since it doesnt ask for near as much...

Like I said, what else should I look at?

memphis power reference 10 would be perfect

Someone suggested a Rainbow 10" Vanadium sub. I know their line of commponants is great but I've havent heard much about their subs.

^^FTW maybe? What else will 300 RMS run well?

Get you a DD 512 12" sub very efficient...put it in the right box...and you'll be pleased...no other sub compares.

i think you're confused about bridging.

75Wx2 @ 4ohms

150Wx2 @ 2ohms

300Wx1 @ 4ohms (bridged)

so in that case, i think an assassin 12 would work out well if you're on a budget.

planet audio

m2 15dvc that is 300watts rms

vx12 dvc 250 rms

vxp128 300rms

vxp108 300rms

couple more options to look at

Yeah, i need to learn more about wiring in series and such. What should I be looking for in terms of voice coils and impeadence? Should i get a sub with dual 2 ohm VC or a single 4 ohm and just bridge it?

Also, when a dual voice coil sub has a 300RMS rating is that 150RMS a coil?

it shouldn't make any difference at all whether you get a SVC 4ohm or DVC 2ohm.

and usually when they rate a DVC sub at 300W, that means 150W per coil, but there are some manufacturers who publish per coil ratings, so try and make sure.
