im still getting confused abt the rms- where is says 1x600w what would the rms be?

 

[robbie_turner 10+ year member]

or this one for not much more:

sony xmd-400p5

1 Channel Class D Mono Amplifier - Variable low pass filter: 50-300Hz - Bass Boost (40Hz) - 1 x 200w (rated power/RMS at 4 ohms) - MOSFET output stage/power supply - 2 ohn capable.

Well the MAX is 1X600 @ 4ohms so RMS on that would probably be ~300 or less.

OK, there is a rule in the OT section of SD, it states:

"Face it, Sony does ****"

If you have your heart set on Sony, then that's good, go ahead, but I think you would be happier with a different selection.

How about this?

it looks good and i like the price but they only ship 2 the states. this is what my prob is i can find great prices on the net but all of them in the states.

Look for a profile amp, it'l do its rated power, and be very inexpensive.

 

[robbie_turner 10+ year member]

just done a search on ebay for the Uk and nothing comes up for profile

Save your money and just buy a good amp, it will be cheaper in the long run.

 

[robbie_turner 10+ year member]

true but the thing is i want one now.

ok so my question is is that if my sub can only handel 250rms whats the point in getting a better amp. how much difference am i going 2 see?

i can get the sony XM2100GTX for abt $100 is that going 2 do the job for now?

 

[robbie_turner 10+ year member]

at the risk of pissing people off *bump*

sorry just wanna get my answer

 

[mrray13 10+ year member]

it'll work just fine..for now.

for $100 it's hard to pass up, especially when u want bass now...

get the amp....have ur bass...save ur money...buy another sub (or two better ones) and a new amp.....everybody starts somewhere..
