Hi there, just gettin sum info on a new amp!!! Here is a description of a sony xplod one:

1000watts Max, 165 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms, 200 watts x 2 at 2 ohms, 400 watts x 1 bridged output at 4 ohms, stereo or bridged mono output, 4-ohm stable in bridged mode, Tri-Way capable, requires 4-gauge power and ground leads, MOSFET power supply and output stages, 50-300 Hz low-pass filter, 12 dB/octave, preamp- and speaker-level inputs, gold-plated connectors, variable bass boost (0-10 dB) centered at 40 Hz, 15-3/16"W x 2-1/4"H x 10-1/4"D.

I need an RMS of around 250-300. Im only powering a sub which is 300rms. Will this amp be suitable? I have no idea of this stuff,lol!!

[breezer]

dooo b doo! Jaxx shud advise me i thinx :D

[jaxx]

itll run off one channel ok but be a bit laboured

i would bridge the two channels and run it like that as the amp would then be kicking 400rms and youll fry the sub after time

[breezer]

whats bridge mean?

[jaxx]

when you run one speaker of 2 channels

ie the +ve from one channel and the -ve from the other channel

[breezer]

ok! sounds simple but think il try and find an amp of around 250-300watts. Ne1 got ne recommendations that rnt too expensive!

[breezer]

2/1- channel amplifier, Maximum output power at 4 ohm: 2 x 200W or 1 x 600W. Rated output power at 4 ohm (RMS): 2 x 100W or 1 x 250W. variable low pass filter: 50-300Hz. Frequency response: 5-50,000Hz. MOSFET power supply. Bass boost: at 40Hz, 0-10dB. 2-ohm capable.
