Question

new system.....

ok, i just orderd the t-top box from sub thump. rite now i have 2 AW1200Q audiobahn subs which im going to sell and get 2 MTX 5500 12" subs. is this a good idea? and what would be a good amp to power these subs? rite now i have a (pos) boss 1500W mono amp. how would it sound with that amp? or should i just go ahead and get a 600x2 mtx amp? thanks

why would you get an amp that pushes 600w x 2, when the recommended RMS power handling on the MTX Thunder 5500's is 150-300 watts? hopefully you meant that 300w x 2 channels = 600w total?

and if it's a choice between using your existing Boss amp or getting an MTX amp, get the MTX....Boss sucks.

maybe one of These Thunder5601 Class D Mono Subwoofer Amps to power a pair of 12" 4Ω SVC (Single Voice Coil) Thunder 5500's wired in parallel.

for subs..... out of MTX 5500 or kicker CVR 12's which hits the hardest and is the cleanest sounding?
