-   -   Best cost effective amp for 12" Polk Momo sub??? (http://www.wakeworld.com/forum/showthread.php?t=231433)

I have a Polk Momo 12" subwoofer that I am looking for an amp for. It is a single voice coil sub that can handle between 200 and 400 watts RMS @ 4 ohms. I am looking for a good amp that won't break the bank. I would like something that is pretty efficient so it doesn't draw a ton of power from my battery. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

how much you looking ot spend......the cheaper amps will be less efficient

Preferably under $150. I don't mind buying referbs or amps off of ebay to keep the cost down.

Try this model. IMO, best bang for your buck out there. <BR> <BR><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=18797&amp;item =5778600343&amp;rd=1" target="_blank">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=18797&amp;item =5778600343&amp;rd=1</a>

The stuff in my boat has to be budget since it's "venerable". I am quite happy with the performance of my Hifonics stuff.

check out <a href="http://www.ikesound.com" target="_blank">www.ikesound.com</a> , great place to buy cheap closeout car audio equipment.

Yeah, I actually looked on that site and I saw a Orion 3002. Would that be a good amp for this application?

detonate69 06-01-2005 12:55 PM

that amp would do alright. its' 300 watts. but if your sub says it'll take up to 400 I'd give it 400. maybe something like this. <a href="http://www.ikesound.com/product-product_id/3358" target="_blank">http://www.ikesound.com/product-product_id/3358</a> If a sub is rated to take 400 watts go ahead and give it 400 cuz it'll actually take a lot more. Just don't get crazy with the bass boost and gain settings. Distortion will kill a sub way faster than too much power any day.
