[m1tch]

hiya can any1 help me out a little was just wondering what is a good amp for powering my 15" sub because everytime i have the bass ova half the tunes stop for like 10 seconds then start agen dont no weather its the amp or somthing i have done wrong ...maybe i need mono amp aswell? or can i still have good bass from a 4 channel 500w amp?

mitch

[reevesy_vtr]

what amp do you have?

[m1tch]

i have a sony 500w it was my m8z he gave it 2 me

[reevesy_vtr]

are you running the speakers in the car from the head unit or from another amp?

[saxx]

is the amp bridged? (is tht the right word?)

[m1tch]

running them from the same amp only have my 6 " 9s on so the speakers and sub are on same amp

[reevesy_vtr]

you need another amp as you are asking to much from a little amp. Where do you live

[m1tch]

yeh ive bridged the 6 "9s and the sub

[m1tch]

yeh i will get another amp then cheers. i live in crewe

[reevesy_vtr]

i only ask as were i work we have got some cheat but good amps.
is the amp you have a 4 channel amp?

[m1tch]

yeh its a 4 channel.... my bass isnt like any1 elses its jus like a thud noise so somthing is wrong.

[reevesy_vtr]

yep you are asking to much. if you under power a sub you can damage it so better sooner rather than later.

[m1tch]

ok cheers m8.....is the vibe mono box a good choice for powering my sub?

[reevesy_vtr]

yeah as far as i know i i dont deal with vibe. what is the power of you sub? as it is best to try and match like for like.

[m1tch]

its 1400 so im looking for an amp that is cheap and good for the sub any suggestions?

[reevesy_vtr]

look for an amp around 500watts RMS dont get a 1400rms ampo on that sub as you wpuld melt is. The 1400watt is max wattage just under half is the rms.

[m1tch]

so my sony 500w amp would be albe power sub good enuff on its own?

[m1tch]

and does a good sub box make alot of difference to the bass?

[barrett]

the sub box makes a big difference, but it depends how it is
constructed and also on the volume of the sub

[Scott]

no your sony amp probably wouldnt hit 500w max unless lighting struck it. Your looking for some thing 500w RMS dont even bother to read max power figures they are 99% nonsense.

Yes sub box is absolutely critical to how a sub sounds

[w_jd_w]

could be the amp if its to little power or maybe you playing to faster music for the 15" lol
