Question

That was pretty much it. I just need to know what type of amp I need to get.

They are the green ones.

Thanks

Answer 1

i have two twelve inch audio pipes hooked up to a memphis 500 watt mono block it performs awsome lots of bass and i have had the subs for two years now

Answer 2

i would look for a CEA-2006 certified amp, one that @ a single 4 ohms will not output more than 750Watts RMS. You could also get a mp that is stable to 1 ohm, and save money, but it will have more distortion, heat up more, and likely have a shorter life span, but still sound pretty good.

keep in mind that for a 3db gain you have to double power and 1 db is the lowest change in volume the ear can detect. and 10 db is "twice as loud" this is scientific fact. I am pointing this out to simply stress don't worry about wattage so much, the difference between say 500 watts and 750 is really very difficult to detect in a A/B comparision, let alone trying to compare one instal to the other. I would keep the wattage @ at least 250 watts, however.

For a 4 ohm load (thats the final load for (2) DVC 40 subs)

a stereo amp bridged mono may be the most economical, but if you are putiing this in a small car, or adding a amp for the mains as well, a effecient Class "D" mono amp, may be easier on your otherwise overworked alternator.

Here are a few suggestions (only sugestions):

My pick would be the Kenwood (2nd) or the rockford (last one)
