I'm gonna be buying two RE12 Subs. Wanna know if quality really matters Ampwise since they are low Wattage Sub. 175 RMS and 250 Max Watt apiece. Or should I just match any 350 RMS amp up to it? I'm new to this whole car audio stuff so please if you need more info. Ask me. Also the whole point of this system is CHEAP, but I don't want to buy an amp that won't even run the subs... Please help! Looken to spend about 150-200$ Canadian. so like 140-170$ US. They are 4 Ohms fyi lol.. I dunno if you need that.. but hey.
Im getting the same subs. If you look on ebay, you can get a Kicker KX350 for between 100 and 150 usd. The amp is 350x1 at 4 ohms and will work perfectly with the subs.
yea but the kicker isnt going to do 2 ohm bridged.....and its stereo power is a bit shy..its gonna be tough to get a couple hundred watts per channel for 140 or so.............................
Meh. I might as well just go with the Kicker. I won't be able to get all the power outta these subs with the cash Im spending. I'll just wait til I can afford a better amp. Then upgrade from there.
The kicker doesnt have to do 2 ohms bridged. He said he's running 2 subs, each are 175 watts, dual 4 ohm. 2 Dual 4 ohm subs. Wire each individual sub in parallel but wired together in series will yield a 4 ohm load on the amp in mono. 350x1 at 4 ohms means each sub gets 175 watts...right?
edit: click this link for a good deal on a KX 350.2 on Ebay.
Goddamit. None of those sellers ship to Canada. Why the hell do I have to live in this godforsaken country, it's so pricey and/or impossible to get stuff shipped here.
