D4nz0 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 1. What is the model number of the sub? You have quoted 'mac's power ratings which should generally be ignored. You need to know the 'continual power's rating (rms) before looking at amps 2. What features do you want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayne_b Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Iv bought it off eBay so iv gone of the Internet so might not be 100% ( XS-GTX100LW 10" Single Voice Coil subwoofer Polypropylene Cone with Stroke Stabilizer surround 4 Ohm Voice Coil Gold plated 5-way binding posts 1100 W Peak (300W Rated) 10" SVC WM Subwoofer) If that helps And one that has aux A screen would be nice no real special features wanted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayne_b Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Oh i missed it lol, so that's the sort of amp I should be looking for then, Do I only need the one channel amp then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4nz0 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 If you're only running a sub then you want either a 1 channel or a 2 channel... If you get a 2ch, you'd be bridging both channels into 1, so no real odds which you get, as long as you make sure the rms power is 300 - 350 watts and max is around 1000, 2ch amps will have the specs of bridged in the spec list. If any of em show you 2 ohm and 4 ohm power, then you're looking at 4, which will always be less power than 2..... Don't worry about that, just concentrate on 4 ohm, 300 wrms... (dont worry too much about max watts) How's that sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayne_b Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Yh that sounds good just need to find one now lol, il keep hunting on eBay, Is there anything i should look out for when looking for a headunit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4nz0 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 With a head unit, I'd just recommend buying a brand you know is trustworthy and has the features you want. What kind of aux in you after? 3.5mm jack, USB? Front or rear of unit? Make sure it has pre-outs, preferably dedicated sub ones rather than just front or rear. This'll give you control of sub volume and sound from the head unit and will give you options of expanding further if you wanna amp Speakers later.

Kayne_b Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Ok thanks what do you think of this amp eBay item number 150689713850 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4nz0 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Bridged over 2 channels is around 150wrms, half the power your sub can run on happily.... Plus I've never heard the brand and don't know anyone that's used em so don't trust em. Assume its the £19.99 that caught your eye? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D4nz0 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 This isn't easy, especially wih the folk that are misselling stuff and quoting wrong wattages. Although I've found a nice JBL amp thats 425 wrms with a buy it now for £100.... more watts than your sub could handle though http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JBL-GTO7001-GTO-7001-Mono-Amp-Subwoofer-Amplifier-700w-700-Watt-/180747120390?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item2a155e2f06#ht_1074wt_932 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4nz0 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I can't find the exact spec for this amp anywhere..... see if you can find the spec, it could be a great buy for you http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JBL-GTO-400w-Amplifier-2-1-way-/220884431110?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item336dbcf106#ht_500wt_949 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
