Will this work?

[Angelus]

I'm probably going to kick myself for this but I need some help.

I have two Kicker Comp 10" sub woofers(not much but they do the job I ask of them) from my old car, the speakers are just a little over 5 years old, amp's fried I need to get an Amp before I put them in, my new car

I have been told by the place that I bought them from I need a 350W-500W amp 4Ohms.

I'm working with a limited budget and wondering if this will work for my Car Audio needs.

I wouldnt buy that amp, for $160 you have to be able to do better.

would not buy

That amp is not going to work for you anyways. You say you need 350w-500w at 4 ohms(which is more expensive) and that amp only does:

* 2-channel car amplifier

* 125 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms (190 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms)

* 380 watts RMS x 1 in bridged mode (4-ohm stable in bridged mode)

* selectable low-pass filter (80 Hz, 12 dB per octave)

* selectable bass boost (0, 6, 12 dB at 50 Hz)

this is what you need: The alpine PDX-1.600 600w amp.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Alpine-PDX-1-600-Mono-Power-Amplifier_W0QQitemZ260354086706QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCar_Amplifiers?hash=item260354086706&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A1|39%3A1|240%3A1318

These are under-rated, and produce over 700w CLEAN power. Either at 2 ohms or 4 ohms. You can get them brand new for about $240 shipped, however you can buy them used for like $150.

why wouldn't it work?? 380 is bigger than his minimum of 350

yeah but that is bridging the amp, and that amp probably wont even put out that power, and its still over priced.

nothing wrong with bridging

nothing wrong with bridging

doubling the distortion?

I would like to first say thank you to everyone, for helping with my question but then I have another one that I am looking at. As I said I am working on a limited budget. So I can not really spring for anything pristine. I just really need something to help pull the bass out from the BG and up into the FG. This is another one I'm looking at:

where the **** did you hear that?

 

[krisfnbz 10+ year member]

where the **** did you hear that?

well there has to be some disadvantage of bridging an amp? I dunno.

 

[damanTO81 10+ year member]

Try ike sound I find them to have cheap prices and the service wasnt bad in my experaince.

there really isnt other than most 2 channel class a/b amps wont run below 4 ohms bridged and they **** alot of current

op try looking at soniceletronix, onlinecarstereo, and woofersetc.
