do your research first

 

Oh wait a second a W1 is only rated for 300w. That sony amp will burn and bust that W1. A 300w amp would be very nice with the sub. The sub can handle a bit more, but you will be pushing it. With 300w you will have a long lasting nice sounding sub. That sub isn't going to be super loud, but will add a nice fill.

EDIT: I would order it online, there is not much choice at those stores, nor do they care aany real quality equipment. They also rip you off. Kicker and JL are my favorite amps, but they come with a price. I've never had a kicker amp fail on me, and I've had a few.

 

i got it from a friend for 25 bucks, only bad is that stupid metal gaurd is on, tried to give him my 15' he said he didnt want it, 300w is fine for me less weight for sure and wont sound bad. my friend was using a kicker im gonna try and get it from him also i have a 250w alpine amp not sure if i should use that,

 

You can run that 250w amp if you want. That W1 is really only going to give you a nice fill. I'm not sure what your looking for, if you want big bass than you need to look else where.

 

no, i had that 15' 2000w audiobahn, just thought id downgrade its about 75lbs lighter, and when he had it in his bmw sounded decent. so i'm not to worried.

 

he said he has a 300w rockfordfosgate i can have i just get to find it in his shop... but its free.

 

If it's an RF amp, the older the better. Their new stuff isn't what is used to be since they got bought out a while back.

 

Im gonna have to disagree with ya on that one partner. Granted the old school RF amps were stable down to 1/4 ohm and never tore up but the new line is still very stout. They make WAY more than their ratings suggest so you get a lot more power than youre paying for - theyre still built very well too. Not as bulletproof as your standard MTX hoss but theyre still an excellent choice.

The only downside to RF amps is that everybody and their brother seems to have one. I like using gear you dont see that often.

 

I don't have any personal experience with RF amps, but that is what I was told by an older guy that has always seemed to know what he is talking about. But you know how older guys like to express their opinions as facts, thanks for clearing that up.

 

Ah its understandable. RF used to be only in the best shops and ran by only the serious guys. Now its as mainstream as Britney Spears and usually when anything is for sale in a Best Buy or Circuit City, its automatically crap.

MTX for instance make some of the finest amps on the planet but dont get anywhere near the respect they deserve because theyve always been known as a "Circuit City" brand.
