i just purchased 2 10" infinity subs... 1000 watts max power... 250rms each at 4ohms or sometin.. wat kinda amp should i get to power these suckers... ive been told 600watt amps will be perfect.. i dont know if i should go more, go less...i dont listen to alotta rap music so im not gonna be pounding these things like crazy. wat do u guys think??

as long as you have something equal or higher than your subs total RMS at 4ohms you should be good.

Infinity Reference 7541a amp in bridged mode? Looks like it goes for about $190-$230 on eBay...

250 rms each @ 4 ohms I would say you need 300-400 watts from that for optimum performance of go 500-600 rms amp so that it can be turned down to not work as hard and be more effecient

First thing you need to find out is how your subs are setup, parellel or series. If you have SVC's you need an amp that does at least 500rms at 2 ohm. If you have DVC's then you need an amp the does at least 500rms at 1 ohm or 4 ohms.

^negative, kenwood makes fairly good decent decks but not subs/amps.

as mentioned already, figure out what voice coil configuration you have on those infinity subs then come back here. if their dual voice coiled, you'd have more wiring flexibilty compared to single voice coil subs.

figure out your wiring .. then look for an amp that gives you the subs rms at the correct ohm load. as said before u could always go for a higher wattage amp and leave the gain down a bit to make it more efficient, but either way just be sure not to crank it all the way and let distortion blow ur subs.

ok just to confirm cause im a noob to car audio.... since im gettin 2 subs at 250rms each... i wanna find an amp that will show roughly "250watts x 2 @4ohms" bridged?

is that dual voice coil the same as a dual stacked magnet?

 
Rep Power: 0

do you have a link to the infinity subs you have? or a model number so we can figure out exactly what kind of infinity subs you have

 
Rep Power: 286

First find out what ohm load you are running.

To answer your question. Your not looking for 250watts x2.

You need to look for "500rms or more x 1 @ X ohms".

infinity makes a quality product. and a very resonably priced product also. i had 2 reference series subs. and for the price i paid they pounded. i should have never sold em. oh well im happy with my JL's

gonna have to disagree with you. I have one of their lower end subs being powered by 200 watts and it hit 135 db on my dash. if thats not decent i dont know what is. Brands are such a personal oppinon, just like what speaker sounds the best, everyones got different ears.

Let's stay on topic, if you want a thread about whether kenwood is good or crap. You can start that one on your own.

thanks.. lol here are the specs

Size: 10 inch
Rec. Sealed Box Dims: 0.75 cu.ft.
Rec. Ported Box Dims: 1.75 cu.ft.
Free Air Usage: yes
Sensitivity: 90 dB
Frequency Response: 25-250 Hz
Recommended RMS Power: 250W
Peak Power Handling: 1000W
Impedance: 4 ohms

i dont know if that helps any...theyre also dual stacked..

How much can you afford to spend? Also keep in mind that with the more power you go, the higher chances of a capacitor need and larger wiring is too.

i dunno.. if i see a good deal ill jump on it.. i definately dont wanna tonnes of power cause im not gonna be pounding rap music but i definately want them to be able to be capable of sounding good when i decide to do so... i called around.. i need a 400-600watt d class monoblock amp...ne suggestions regarding those specs and a descent price?

 
Rep Power: 256

You could always look into a JL 500/1 for around $350-$400 most places. Very good amp, wont break the bank, 2 ohm stable.

Infinity Reference 611a Mono Class D amplifier
657W RMS x 1 @ 2 ohms

about $220

don't forget the 4 AWG power wire...and maybe some nice 12 AWG speaker wire for the sub...

kenwood makes me sick , j/k

but as for amp, i have mrd-605 alpine and love it, all digital settings and digital displays temperature, voltage, etc.... and sounds gr8, it's 600 watts rms at 2ohm, so if your infinity's are dual 2ohm coils, it would be a perfect combination even if the wattage is 100 over, if you listen to it reasonably, you will be fine. i have it running my 500 watt rms type-r

i found a phoenix gold amp on ebay really cheap around 170.. mono 800watts... as long as i dont crank it that high would i be fine in running an amp this powerful?

 
Rep Power: 320

check if thats 800 peak or 800rms, might only be 300-400rms if its 800MAX(peak)

Phoenix Gold Titanium amps are very reliable, Ive had good experience with them, but not their cheaper line.
