2 12" Infinity Reference with what amp

[ashah000]

I am planning on getting 2 12" Infinity References but can anyone recommend an amp to go with it. The subs can handle 300 RMS

Thanks

it depends on how much you want to spend and you know if they are single voice coil or dual (svc/dvc, single=1 set of speaker terminals, dvc=2 sets).?
audiobahn a2502dp 250x2@4ohm rms $500+/-
infinity REF1210A $575+/-
rockford P8002 $650
" P6002 $500

I am going to guess that they are svc I am not 100% sure. I was looking at cheaper amps Is profile a good amp?

[mx6rrr]

profile isnt the best out there, they are over-rated which will basically underpower your subs by alot and make them distort...I would go to some car audio shops and just look around alittle usually you can pick up a pioneer/kenwood/power acoustic amp that will work awesome and they arent that expensive....youll need afairly large amp though if you are trying to power 600 watts, and saying is $1/watt....but look around, check ebay.

we will need to know what impedence the vioce coils are, are the svc 4 ohm, or dvc 4 ohms, or dvc 2 ohms....?

don't get a kenwood, pioneer or power acoustic amp, give us the impendence info, and your price range.......

[ashah000]

They are svc 4 ohms.. here are some other specs if needed..

polypropylene cone
deep-draw I-beam basket
70-ounce magnet structure
recommended power range 50-300 watts RMS
peak power handling 1,200 watts
frequency response 23-400 Hz
sensitivity 90 dB
top mount depth: 6-1/4"
sealed box volume: 1.25 cu. ft.
ported box volume: 2.00 cu. ft.
Recommended Q-Logic Box Type: 2, 3

I am looking for a cheap amp that will work and put out actaully what it says. So for the price the cheaper the better but still need to work good

Thanks!

Also are sony amps good.. i have heard that their subs suck. But what about their amps.

Also what would be better a mono or 2channel amp. I was looking at these two profile amp. The first one is mono the second is 2 channel.

remember, just because a power figure is listed, you have to think about how clean or distorted the output will be at rated power. if the full specs are not listed, (those Profile crutchfield ads are perfect examples), then you're really gambling...why would a manufacture deliberatly leave out some useful info. that could set them apart in such a highly competitive market?

[loismustdie]

those profile amps will work, but i'd suggest spendind a little more on an amp.....

[Haibane]

Profile california amps put out rated power, if you don't have money for more, go with those

[ashah000]

loismustdie do you have any suggestion on another amp.

Also what is better 2 channel or mono

JL 300/2

first of all he didn't say jl made crappy prducts, he said its a waste of money, and it is.......

for an amp, the jbl bp 600.1 will put out around 650-700 watts at 2 ohms(rated at 600x1 at 2 ohms), and its a solid amp with a good reputation, that would be a nice choice for your situation, i've seen them go for as low as 150$, but thats a rarity(if thats even a word.).....
