I started a post before asking about whether to use an Alpine 5 channel or PPI 4 channel and PPI sub amp and got some good responses. Obviously I can get more power with the 2 PPI's.
What I'm really trying to find out is if anyone knows whether 500 watts feeding these 2 subs would be under powered and possibly be disappointing for pushing these 2 subs? I just don't want to waste money buying a 5 channel and not being happy with the result because they need more power to sound good and produce great bass. The 2 PPI amps are cheaper than most decent 5 channel amps, it's just the amount of wiring and space needed that has me questioning whether a single amp could be worth it. I listen to mainly hip-hop, rap, R&B music during my 1 hr commute each direction so I need something! I just want to know whether they would perform better with MORE than 500 watts and be worth the added work for installing? The subs will go in an appropriate sized sealed enclosure. thanks
FYI - I'm using 2 sets of the Hertz DSK 165.3 for the fronts and rear.
