from my amp thread i'm guessing everyones missing.
Current setup is a panasonic head unit (JB and some other places are selling it for 400 at the mo it's a motorised one with rotary volume) the 4inch 40w RMS 2way kickers in the front and some 40w RMS sony 6x9's in the back.
So got some fill sound now but still nothing in the bass department, the 6x9's don't put out near as muhc bass as the kenwwods in bf's car. Anyway that's eaten up quite a bit of the money but still have a few hundred left for bass.
Don't need some top quality or way loud bass so i'm tending to look at the cheap side for it.
See in te latest JB Hi-FI log they have 2 cheap amps a Solid Audio 150W x 2 for $77 and an Audioline 200W x 2 for $97. Bf says sounds from them wouldn't be great seein how cheap they are but it should be fine for a sub and should expect to get 120 - 150w RMS brdiged from each one with the AUdoline probably giving slighty more... They got some 12inch 250w kickers for 84 bucks he says will prob handle around 150 RMS so would either of those amps be ok for running that?
Also see they got a Pioneer (XSL121P5) 12inch 800w (400w RMS) sub in box for $177 and a Sony 12 inch 1200w (350w RMS) sub in a Sony box for $187. I'm guessing these are better then that cheap kicker sub.... and would either of those cheap amps be okay for these subs or is the power they'd give too low it would damage the sub? They got a 4Ch version of those amps for about double the cost of the 2Ch one, would either of those have sufficient power to run one of those boxed subs... can you even bridge a 4Ch amp to 1 Ch....
Like I said dont need hi impact or really loud bass just some good decent bass, bf's cheaped cylinder sub was only 80 bucks or something and I quite like the bass from it so the sound from those cheap amps and a cheap sub should keep me happy shouldn't it.....
