I have twin MTX Thunder 6000 subs in my car right now. They're 12ohm each. Really you're supposed to use them in a triad, but I'm only using 2 and only have room for 2.
Right now I'm powering them with an old as dirt Phoenix Gold XS2300, which is rated at 2 x 75W @ 4 ohms, 2 x 150W @ 2 ohms, or 1 x 300W @ 4 ohms bridge. Since my subs are 12ohm each I have them wired in parallel and have them running off the amp bridged. So I'm putting a 6ohm load on my amp right now, meaning each sub is each only getting less then 150 watts, I think 125 or so, I'm not doing the math!
I want to use a bigger amp, but not sure what I need. The subs are rated at 250 RMS, 500 Total. Keeping in mind that I'll be presenting the amp with a 6ohm load, what would you recommend?
I'm a noob at car stereo, I'm only a wiring expert :p
