i need new amp
 
my old amp ,pioneer gm-x924 has unfortunatly died. i need to get a new amp, but i have no idea about amps. i have 2 -12'' boston acoustic generator.
i checked from the website,it says they are 4ohm,recommended power 50 to 500watts. since i have 2 subs,does it mean 100 to 1000 watts? therfore i need an amp of 1000 watts,2 channel?

First you need to tell us how you are planning to run the subs. In stereo, or bridged? 2 ohms, or 4 ohms? Are the subs dual voice coil?

I have for sale a Kicker KX600.1 one-channel amp, which is optimal at 2 ohms. You can bridge your two subs to get 2 ohms, which will give you total of 700 watts rms.

Or, I also have a Fosgate Punch 800.2 two-channel amp, which you can run in stereo at 2 ohms, or in bridged mode at 4 ohms. This amp will put out 800-950 watts rms respectively.

Both amps are used, but in mint shape. Let me know, if you are interested, and send me a pm.

The choice of amp is going to depend 100% on your budget, any idea what you would like to invest in a amplifier?

i dont really know how you connect the subs.i had them installed. the subs are still the way same connected when i used the pionner amp.
can my subs be used as 2 ohms or 4ohms? at the boston acoustics sights,it says nominal 4 ohms,whatever that means.
are the more expensive amps ,better?

If your subs are svc 4 ohm (which they appear to be), a mono amp designed to operate at 1 or 2 ohm is what you should be looking for. Again though, Quality or Kwality of the amp you decide to purchase is going to depend on your investment.

the pionner i had b4 was a 4 channel amp,i think

MR2NR 08-16-2007 08:57 PM

You do not need a 4 channel amp, while it can be used, the mono sub amp is the better choice for the application. Again, what $ would you like to spend on a amp. How on eath can someone recommend something without knowing this?

i have an orion cobalt amp,its small, for the speakers inside the car.
a mono amp can be used for 2 subs?
is 1000 watts too much for 2 12'' subs?

InsigniaŽ 1000W Bridgeable 2-Channel Amplifier ?
