dude I just got a new ferrari and when I ordered it I decided to get the 85 hp fiat engine instead of the 500 hp engine it comes with. How does that sound? |

hehe, this guys always play conservative but i always have a realistic opinion since i consider both things budget and quality.
This guys are right about the combination but i have to tell my opinion.
The PA must put more than 3k. It claims 4300w rms, i don't know if that's true but i do think that line should put close to their rated power. The A3000Db from their other line, claims 2300w rms and puts 2000-2100w rms and sometimes more and i've heard the amp handles lower loads. Not sure about that.
If you put that amp with the solo X, it will pound for the money you spent, although the quality is not the greatest. I'd recommend the new Adassa warlord from stevemeade forum. I heard the price is 850 and you will have some good juice to push that sub tyler. |

I hope you have the dual 2 ohm version, and i think that amp is underpowering the sub... |

I've heard that sub being run with just a 1200w kicker amp and it was absolutely ridiculous.
That PA won't get you oohs and ahs because of the brand name, but it will because of the power.
I'm not so sure the PA amp and the SS 6500 don't have very similar internals. |

the SS is better. Try getting an Adassa warlord. |
