Yo all,
I need some help, see, my dad bought these 15" MTX road thunder subs like in 1992, and now he's forgotten how to wire the subs up. I would like to know what Amp would be suitable to pump these babies to their max? My dad used to have it connected to 2 Kenwood Amps and to another 658 Battery to power it, but it didn't output that well. So if any of you have any ideas, please post. I just got my Skyline, and I'm really excited to shuv these subs in, so please respond A.S.A.P.
Thanks.

No, they're open, I've always had it like that, I don't want to use a box though, just to connect it up freely. I just want to know a brilliant amp for it, the price don't matter. |

this amp should be good if they are SVC subs just bridge the 1/2 channels and the 3/4 channels.

Shot, I owe you one dude. Another thing, what brand altogeter is better? Is it rockford, or Pioneer, Or Kenwood etc... |

it really depends on how much you want to spend.
some good brands would be Kicker, JL Audio, Adire, JBL ect. Rockford is ok I like their older products better then their new ones. Pioneer makes pretty good head units but thats about it. and Kenwood you want to STAY AWAY FROM. |

Like I said before, price ain't a problem. So MTX is good then? |

MTX is a OK brand. Lot of better brands out there. If you really want some good spl and sq you should get a adire shiva and a JBL 600.1 amp and you would be set up. The shivas get some real good lows and they just sound plain out great. |

you shouldn't be running subs free-air like that.
there's no damping and you'll destroy them.
besides, they'll sound lousy that way regardless of the amp you use.
the box has a huge effect on how the subs will sound.
