Subs (http://www.lemonizer.com/upload/uploadsAug/00000001.JPG)

[Mikey]

have you got the tech spec of the subs by any chance

[Biggy]

i got a Pro Plus 800watt 2 channel that'l run em sweetly it might even be to much for em, £80

[ste]

The new pro plus amps are a bargin!! What watt r the subs?

[Evv99]

450 watt and there are 2 of them and mikey i dont know the spec coz i am buyin them from a friend

[Biggy]

i doubt that they'll be 450 rms, more like 100 - 150 rms probably a small 2 channel or even a 4 channel, that way u can run some 6x9's or somethin off the amp as well

[ste]

Try lookin in the back of car mags, some cheap prices for last years models, etc!!!! Like Mr Big sed, a small amp would do, maybe even a single channel kenwood mono sub amp or sumsin as they are only lowish watt speakers!

And it kcks nicley too, Im running a Rockford 400 A4 amp to power my subs, only using two channels bridged and a phionex gold QX150.4 to run all my full range:)

[DeanDTurb]

max/peak is a completley useless rating RMS at 12.5V is the rating you want to use for anything. Alpine amps are good sq amps and if you drop an alpine amp to 1ohm when all but one are only made to goto 2ohm it will last around 6 months and they will not repair it.

I'd go for a genesis P1 sub (amp) they are awesome i've got 2 of them babys!!!

[DeanDTurb]

[Lloydy]

its a friggin nightmare to wire up.

my amps of for repair and it stuffed all the blokes test equiptment lol too power full dont think he used the correct attenuators lol.

[tw@]

155dbcirrus needs a new alternator (ideal charge voltage is 13.7-14.7)

[Lloydy]

? 13.8v is between (13.7-14.7) .he should get away with it.

i got an adjustable one with a dial on the side to up the power distributed.well worth it if ya gotta replace one i reackon speacialy in the winter when u got all ya lights and heaters and stuff on and u still wanna pump some bass

[Evv99]

[DeanDTurb]
