Hey, I'm Benji and new to the forum. I've kind of just hawked around on here to try and gain some more knowledge.
Background \/ Below \/
- I bought a SonicElectronix subwoofer combo with 2 DVC Rockford Fosgate R2D2. Only problem is the Jensen Power 900.1 amp would not power the subs without being maxed out with gain (I know that's bad). I made sure it was just the amp and not my wiring by testing my friend's old JL amp, and it confirmed the Jensen amp was ****.
- Went to pawn shop and got rid of Jensen and picked up a Alpine mrp-m500, and it worked great to start, and the gain was about at halfway. Fast forward a week and the subs have been cutting out and then will come back on and be fine, but this week they cut out altogether. Weird part is the amp light stays on. Subs don't sound blown when they come on and off, so I figure it's the amp. I just got a Pioneer HU 7400HD and i'm rewiring everything.
Which amp should I buy and should I stay away from any of these brands. Subs are 500 watt RMS combined
$200 Budget-
- Jl JX500.1d
-Alpine MRX-M50
-Kenwood x500
- NVX JAD1200.1
-Precision Power PPI S850.1D
- RE Audio DTS-1000.1
-Infinity 1600A
-Precision-Power-BK650.1D
-Massive-Audio-D-1200
Running off Stock Alt, as of now I have no light dimming.
