Amp Question

Get an amp in the area of 2-400 watts..........would do just fine. the more power, the louder and the more dyjnamic range you will have. Brands? they all suck.......well, cept for OS orion......

i would look into a Soundstream amp......... my current favorite for some odd reason i dont care to even try and explain.

 

well, the overall impedance of the box claims to be 4 ohms...........so..............


If it were ME, i would get a 2 channel amp capable of running 2 ohms. then bridge the amp in mono on the subs. DONT buy an amp that is 1 ohm stable....you wont load it down hard enough to get full rated power, get a 2 ohm stable stereo amp that will bridge into mono. THAT wouod be your best bet.

 

Oh, and look at RMS power, dont pay no nevermind to the "peak" power.......The RMS is the more realistic number.............

 

I've had that Baja 1000....it does the job...tougher than I thought too...ran it 3 ohm stereo for awhile and beat the hell outta it....it just kept pushing out power...sucks a lotta current though

I'd get this http://www.crutchfield.com/S-WB9TNVgoQFD/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=120&I=113KAC7202

 

My preference would be a mono (1 channel) amp. All you have to do when your looking for one is to look at the rms @2 ohms. I would go with something around 400 rms @2 ohms.

Teamcsw has some NOS Orion 3752's that will put out 375W X 1 @ 4 ohms for a mere $100 plus shipping that would power that box nicely.

 

With those subs you'll have a 2 ohm final load when paralleled so I'd get this amp....more power, more head room, better sound, less likely to clip the amp

that kenwood will outperform the Alpine if you are running 2 of those 4500's sure enough.

 

although, it WILL blow those subs as they are not rated to take more than 400 watts and that amp can easily put out more than 400

just be careful with the gains

 

or may i suggest this kenwood

if it IS 1 ohm stable like it says.. you could add another or even 2 more of those same subs to the system and still be pushing them with the same amp. If you ever plan on upgrading in the future

 

Either the 9102 or 9152 will work...just properly set your gains...it'll sound and perform much better than the Alpine
