Too Much Power?
#1
I put a post up a couple weeks ago about the system I have slowly been putting together.
I now have a crappy Pyramid PB880 amp, Infinity 652i's 6.5's, Pioneer DEH-P4500.
I still haven't got an amp or subs yet for it but got an offer from a buddy recently for a MTX 1000D Amp for 350CDN (is this a good deal).
My question is if I run a single Sub in a sealed enclosure under the backseat of me truck (maybe a Pioneer TS-1041DVC) will this amp push to much power and distortion and have a drastic strain on my stock electrical system or should I be looking for a smaller amp.
Wanted to buy either a Lanzar Opti SL800D or a Visonik V800XD but haven't been lucky in finding a reasonably priced one of either yet.
I also hear that the MTX 1000D requires something like 1 or 0 gauge wire for it? not sure what that means.
Cheers guys

That's way too much power @ 2 ohms ... However, I bet if you run that amp @ 8 ohms (Wire the sub in series), it will be fine AND you'll have an awesome amplifier if/when you decide to upgrade [img]smile.gif[/img]
It's a good deal if it works ...

So Jmac your opinion is I should go for it and spend the money and grab this amp and wire my single sub for an 8ohm load (I know the Pioneer ts-1041dvc is rated 2 and 8 ohm just not sure if the amp can run at 8 ohm?)
Anyways opinions? This amp a good buy for the setup I'm plannin on for the money or should I just grab a smaller cheaper amp to run a single Sub in a sealed enclosure?
hehe an even better plan would be to buy a damn 10" EDesign Sub and put it in a sealed enclosure and run the amp at a 4 ohm load!
oh to have a money tree!

BTW... Anyone Think A Lanzar Opti 500.2 Would Be a Much Better Choice For the Setup I'm Looking At????????
