I bought this for $40 thinking I got something special but it wasn't what I thought it was. So I hooked it up in mono 600 x1 RMS @ 4 ohms to two Alpine type R 12's and the bass just seemed deeper and idk how to explain it but as different then the other amp I was using. Alpine mrx-m110 .
If I never tried the other amp I never would of thought anything and the bass from the Alpine amp.
As I was listening to music I started to hear a continuous baseline that wasn't part of the song so I knew the amp had a problem.
Ever since I been trying to get the bass that will satisfy my needs and I went through 3-4 types of sub/amp combos and can't get it.
I found a good deal on some JL Audio 10 w6v2D4's in mint condition for 300$ in a brand new ported box so I'm pretty sure these subs should atleast make me happy enough. I think I just need the right amp
The Alpine amp I sold because I wasn't happy with it.
I tried a soundtream Rubicon nano 1000w RMS @1 ohm and the bass sounded so dirty and could not dig deep at all.. wired it in 4 ohm 400w and it sounded better but it had to go so I sold it.
I tried my Phoenix Gold Zx350 400x1 @ 4 ohm , it was OK but I put it back where it belongs pushing the front MB Quart zc1-216 components and it blows away every amp I tried to run the components
Last resort before I have to buy a new amp I had MB Quart 4 ch 100x4 RMS so I bridged ch 1&2 400w RMS @ 4 ohm wired parallel to the subs and what do I get?
I couldn't believe I finally got some real bass.
But I know I'm only giving the subs a tease of power I think the subs and myself would like more power.
I wonder if I can fix this amp if it will be better or what
Is this amp worth fixing or should I junk it?
