Just ordered subs........which amp?

[pewterfirebird02]

alright.......so i just ordered two 10" Infinity reference subs. They are both dual 4 Ohms....that give me a final load of either 4 Ohms.......or 1 Ohm.........each sub is 250 Watts.....giving 500 watts.........what would be a good amp to power these subs?

[CAMAROWIDBASS]

JBL 600.1

Wire them down to 1 ohm.

hmm....i'm looking at the specs and it says that it puts out 600 watts at 2 ohms......can i still run it at 1 ohm?

[CAMAROWIDBASS]

You should be able to wire it down to 1 ohm, but it puts out the same watts at 2 than it doest at 1 ohm.

Keep in mind the JBL 1200.1 is under ratted, someone i know bench tested one and it put out 1,480 RMS @ 2 ohms.

But dont you only need 500 watts? i think this amp would be enough to power both of your subs.

[pewterfirebird02]

in that case.........would any amp rated at 500 watts at 2ohms work? as long as i wired the subs to 1 ohm?
