I currently have a 10" Infinity Perfect SVC powered by the rear channels of the 4 channel amp that also runs my rear speakers. It has handled the 450 watts RMS very well.
I am going to sell the 4 channel and just run the rears of the HU and by a 2 channel and bridge it to the sub. I'm looking at...
Eclipse PA6213 (1000 watts RMS at 4 ohm)
MB Quart Reference 2400 (800 watts RMS at 4 ohm) only $250 @Crutchfield
Rockford Power 851s (850 watts RMS at 4 ohm)
Kicker KX850.2 (850 watts RMS at 4 ohm)
My questions are...
1) Is 800-1000 watts RMS too much power for my sub (it's rated at 350 watts continuous)?
2) Which amp would be the best bet for my situation? I'm leaning towards the Quart because of the price, but I don't know anything about it. My second choice is the Eclipse because I already have one and it's been outstanding.
3) Would you suggest that I look for different/better sub that can handle that amount of power? If yes, which one (must be 10" and comfortable in .6 cu ft sealed box). Then, should I worry about trying to match up the power with the manufacturers specs on the voice coils. In other words, should I be looking for a 2x4 ohm DVC wired in parallel so that the amp sees a 2 ohm load, or a 2x2 DVC wired in series so that the amp sees a 4 ohm load???? I think I have this right(boom06)
Hopfully I haven't throughly confused you guys here. I'm sure I'm not the first ignorant soul to find this damn confusing(stoned)
Thanks in advance!
