Sub / amp help

[Z-56 Hoe]

I have two 12" MTX thunderstorm 5500 subs and a ported box and I need amp help. Here are the specs

Looking for a good amp that isn't going over the top.

Do you have the dual 4 ohm or single 4 ohm subs?
Also what is your budget, and do you have any preferred brands?

 

[Z-56 Hoe]

Oh yeah dual voice coil. So dual 4 ohm I guess how do I tell an no brand preference just not trying to break the bank

I'm not keeping this setup in my Tahoe it will go in my wife's Tahoe next year.

Well if its a dual voice coil then its a dual 4 ohm, the link you showed only shows single 4 ohm and dual 4 ohm as a option. Well if you want a mono amp then I would go with something in the 600-800 rms @ 1 ohm range. I would do 800 rms so you aren't pushing the amp to its max all the time and have a little bit of overhead room with power. Well are we talking $100, $150, $400? just give me a ballpark range

 

[Z-56 Hoe]

With three kids and the fact I just wrecked and and I am fixing outta pocket probably $200-$300 price range cheaper is better. As long as it's going to last.

As I stated above setup is going in my wife's Tahoe in January of next year. And she doesn't blast or listen to music really loud. I hope that helps.

to tell what ohms the subs are you can see in the bottom or anywhere around the magnet of the subs
you cant go wring with this amp

ive had four of the earlier model before and love these amps..they send clean sound and are pretty compact and not to big

That amp will not work if it they are dual 4 ohm subs.

This would be a good choice if you would like to stick with the same brand MTX

This would be a good cheaper option.

What's the difference between a mono amp and others? Sorry I speak. Motor not stereo. Thank you for the help also.

The Alpine amp posted by Josueh95 looks and specs almost identical to the top of the line JLAudio HD series, for less than half the price.

Formerly Audio Qubed. They have some amazing quality on their amps and are underrated. For the price and you subs this would be a great choice.

I've got the AQ 2200 and I couldn't be happier.
