Sub Amplifiers, Mono or 2-channel for dual subs?

[Destructo]

Found the box I want, its very similar if not the same one that another member has, dual 10" box with a amp rack in the middle.

Now onto the real question. For the amp should I go with a Mono sub amp and run it at 2 ohms for both subs or get a 2 channel amp? I'm looking at the Sony 2200GTX which is 200wx2 @ 4 ohm or the Rockford Fosgate Punch P3001 which will do 150x1 @ 4 ohm or 300x1 @ 2 ohm, which I think I can run two subs and have the amp run at 2 ohm and get 150w to each sub. The subs I was looking at are rockford Fosgate Punch subs which handle 150w RMS. I know the Rockford subs may not be the best but they seem to be pretty decent and they will work well with the box I have chosen.

If you want a sharp clear hit, buy two class D (mono) amps with as much power RMS as your subs can handle, but running a dual channel amp will work well if you are just aiming for a noisy bass sound setup, most people would just go with the dual channel setup though

[Destructo]

I have a thing about good clear sound, i'm not looking to just make a bunch of noise. I'll see what kind of smaller amps I can run, the subs I was looking at handle 150w RMS.

I think that's what my two subs are rated at and all I've got is a mono 400 watt Premier amp and it puts out some pretty good bass. I didn't want to rattle the ***t out of my truck, I just wanted to feel it.... my 2 cents

how are your subs wired? In series or parallel?

[shavedchevy]

I'm not sure if it's parallel or series (not too smart about that stuff) but the audio shop told me to wire the positive wire of both subs to the one positive terminal on the amp and just do the same for the negative. Works good for me

[Destructo]

ahh ok, that makes since, so it works out pretty good wired like that? I think that would mean your amp is running 2 ohm with two subs hooked up.

It has all the bass I need..... and too much power for my truck to run them at max capacity

I think i'v only got a 63 amp or 73 amp alternator and electric fans, so we'll see what happens. I'm going to order the 2 10's and the box this week, have to wait till my next paycheck to buy the amp. Will probably just pick that up at best buy or something though. Thinking about the Rockford Fosgate P3001
