I ran 2 of them Both Powering 10" type r's, Ran Great never had a prob with them. Think I paid around $110 each for them used

if your going to buy another amp buy a real amp! why spend money to get a claimed extra 100w? sell your amp then use the money from it and the money from not buying the kenwood and get something around 700-1000RMS

Do you think they'll power 2 12" w3s though i mean u ran two amps.. right?

EDIT: Thanks m8 but i cant find any cheaper amps for the price i want? Iv looked around here but i dont know what im looking at,

Will consider thank you.

Yep I ran 2 Amps, at First I ran Both Subs Off One, but it wasn't loud enough so I bought another.

But yeah Like Jo-Psyko Said An Extra 100watts Isnt Much. for a Couple hundred Dollars you Could Find a 1000watt Rms Hifonics Amp On Ebay.

yeah what he said! hahaha you'll pout in that hundred and probably wont even notice it... and if you do you wont notice much. Hifonics makes alot of power at a steal of a price :)

i use to have one of those amps but i must say it was a great amp for what it was i ran 6 tens off it and it never shut down or got hot. yes i know that i was bearly touching the 6 tens but for a few weeks in my daily it did great for what it was but like the others said just for a 100watt difference i would not say that it is worth it unless the alpine is not a class D amp the kenwood is a class D which means that it is more effeicent

Can you guys point me in the right direction on ebay? I have no idea what im lookin at and all the guys in the stores just point me at their products. I want more power to my subs i want more sound.

This one Is Alright, Probly a Good Bang For the Buck amp:
HIFONICS BXi1206D Class D Mono Amplifier BRAND NEW - (eBay.ca item 130214790124 end time 24-Apr-08 20:15:53 EDT)

i think i might have a little more money to spend im on a budget of around 250 300 can we do better? lets get my subs to pound!
