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&category=18797&item =5778600343&rd=1" target="_blank">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=18797&item =5778600343&rd=1</a>

would suggest kicker zr 360 or 600... <BR> <BR>they are very, very, high quality and VERY underspeced amp...can push anything known....
|
US Acoustics makes good budget amps..
|
also forgot about mmats... <BR> <BR>not much to look at but super high quality..they have awesome class d that is reasonabley priced...

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

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