Subs and amps

[AnthonyVN]

does the amp have to be at the same power as the sub or how does it work to get the most noise out of them?

[aazn]

no an amp does not need to run the sub at 100%..

you can get alot of power out of a amp by the way you set up the subs/voicecoils of the sub.

what amp you trying to run and what sub.. i can try help you...

[AnthonyVN]

Pioneer 308D4SB 12" is the sub, what amp should i try and run with it?

[aazn]

you only need 400w @ 2ohms.

thats a good thing..

so...

anything above 300wrms @ 2 ohms

maybe even look at a 2 channel amp and bridge it...

if you want something really cheap. audioline 2 chan. i think that works out to about 250wrms @ 2 ohms.

whats your budget for an amp?

[AnthonyVN]

budget is probly around $250-300

or just walk into jb hifi and have a look for an amp... you dont need that much power so you have a big range.
or like stated above. get it off the internet. but if you dont want to wait go into jb/strathfield. you can get an amp for under 200.

Most 2 channels won't run a 2 ohm load when bridged. He'll end up with a dead amp.
