Hello everyone, I was wondering if you could help me decide which amp I should buy to run 2x 12" Alpine Type S's . I'm hoping I won't have to spend over 200 dollars but any suggestions work. And also, how should I wire it? Thanks for your input. |

The brand name of that amplifier was actually Blackmore Is it useable for my setup? Info: Car amplifier boasts a maximum power of 1000-watts. Audio device features a variable bass boost control. Mosfet 2 channel amplifier. RMS power 300W x 1 at 0.01 THD. 4 ohms. Variable low pass crossover. Fixed high pass crossover. Remote subwoofer level control. Chrome plated RCS inputs. Variable gain control. LED power and protection indicators. Signal-to-noise ratio: better than 103 dB ...Thats all I could find on it. He also has this one... http://cgi.ebay.ph/NEW-FORMULA-2-CHANNEL-CAR-AMPLIFIER-1000-WATT-AMP-2009_W0QQit emZ220452529454QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCar_Amplifiers?hash=item3353fea52e&_trksid=p46 34.c0.m14 are either of these useable with my subs for about a month until i can get an aq1200d? |

The subs can hold 300 rms each so shoot for an amp that is stable at 1 ohm and that will do 600 rms. You wouldnt need a aq 1200 d, thatd be twice the power you would need for these subs. A good amp to do 600 rms shouldnt cost you too much at all. |
