what amp (s) to power my entire system?
1. what amp should i get to power my 2 x 12W6V2?
budget is about US$500 for amplifier (s) for subs. i am going to be running: Speakers: Focal - 165 A 6 1/2" midbass Max. Power Handling: 120W Nom. Power Handling: 60W Sensitivity: (2,83 V/1m): 92dB Frequency Response: 60Hz-20KHz US$150 Infinity Kappa Perfect 6.1 6 1/2" component speakers Nom. Power Handling: 100w Max. Power Handling: 400w Sensitivity: 90dB Frequency Response: 75Hz-23kHz Crossover Frequency: 3.5kHz (24dB/oct) US$180 Subs: 1. 12W6V2 2. 12W6V2 2. should i go for a couple of mono for subs or a 5 channel amp to power all? my choice: Soundstream - Tarantula 800/5 4x50w + 1x200w at 4ohm 4x100w + 1x400w at 2ohm 2x200w + 1x400w at 4ohm US$ 450 the reason on why i need to 're-design' my system is that i need a matching design to assemble all of my components. or could someone give me a sample layout for my system using 1 sub/2 sub placement?

Got much are you spending on the w6v2's? Also check out CDT, the EF61-cfi/25 series AND the HD series have MUCH better midbass than the Infinity Perfect line. Send an e-mail to islandsound1@yahoo.com OR aim: djdilliodon He is an authorized CDT dealer, sells new with full warranty at goo prices! Get back to me, I got a few amplifiers in mind! peace NG |

JL 1000/1 ....... go look at some 1000 watt amps from US amps.... you'll want 1000 watts rms x 1 at 1 or 4 ohms

Anyway, that amp although is a nice one, is a little on the weak side. You'd be better off either going with one sub amp and then either a 4ch or 2ch amp on the rest of the system. The Orion 1200d would work good for you.

Re: what to power 2 x 12W6V2?
i think a 1200d would be a little too much power.....the subs are only rated for 400 watts a piece and the orion is underrated.

Re: what to power 2 x 12W6V2?
750 a piece is too much on 6v2's.... plus fosgate is one of the most overpriced brands I know.

Re: what to power 2 x 12W6V2?
250 is a little steep to pay for what the w6v2's have to offer. they'll get decently loud have fun!!
