WTB: Amplifier

[lewisb13]

Looking for either a monoblock or a 2 channel that can be bridged. Im looking for something that can deliver 300ish-400ish Watts RMS at 4OHM to a single voice coil sub. What do you guys have laying around? Cheers.

Lewis take a look at this, a new 2010 Kicker ZX400.1 mono class D for $165 shipped.

Thats an awesome deal! Thanks Razzman! Exactly what I was looking for in my price range too.

That's 400Wx1 @ 2ohms. I believe you are looking for 300-400W @ 4 ohms since you have a single voice coil 4 ohm sub. This amp only puts out 200W @ 4 ohms.

True story......it seems all the amps that deliver good 4 ohm power are $$$$. This may work, going to do a little more research.

Yeah, it's cheaper to get a dual voice coil sub than getting a good amp that pushes 400W+ at 4 ohms.

Hows the sound quality going in each direction?

If you like your sub an easy solution would be to go with a 2 channel amp. When you bridge the 2 channels to the single 4 ohm sub the amp will "see" 2 ohms. Lots of good, inexpensive 2 channel amps out there that can push 400W @ 2 ohms.

Any suggestions?

Actually, not quite true. When you bridge a two channel amp into mono, it will usually about double the output but will do so into 4 ohms. Most amps are not rated to operate bridged at 2 ohms.

But you are right - a good option for the OP, if he wants to stay with his SVC 4 ohm sub, is to find a high output two channel amp that will do 400W+ when bridged.
