Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / December 2003Help choose between 2 amps
So I've decided to go with a 4ohm ID10 v.3. I'm think about going with either of these two amps: MTX Thunder251D MTX Thunder311D It seems like the 251 would be the better choice because it matches the recommended RMS exactly at 2 ohms. Is there any reason I might want to go with the 311. Also, let me know if I shouldn't go with either of these. Thanks.  SignatureBenjamin Donahue If you can afford the 311 go with that one. i'd rather have all the power I can get.

You'll find that both of these amps will put out a little more power then their rating, since that's a base rating. >If you can afford the 311 go with that one. i'd rather have all the power I >can get. [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >> >> Thanks. depending on which rating you're looking at - the 251D is actually a 160 watt amp when rated for continuous, 12.5VDC 2 ohm power. The 250 watt figure is obtained with a dynamic measurement with THD+N limited to 2% during a 20 millisecond "on" burst, and driving a reactive load. This seems to be the way MTX rates their amps these days... JD >I have to agree with Paul for once, I'd go with the 311D.

What does that have to do with anything? You're running a 4 ohm speaker. The 2 ohm rating on the amp won't mean sh.t to you. > Is there any reason I might want to go > with the 311. Since you're running "a" 4 ohm speaker, go with whichever amp puts out more power 4 ohms. > Also, let me know if I shouldn't go with either of these. You shouldn't go with either of these amps. Buy DEI amplifiers instead. Why? Because I have that opinion, and you asked for it. -- Lizard I H8 Noobz > > So I've decided to go with a 4ohm ID10 v.3. > > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > Lizard > I <3 Noobz lizzy.. you're trying to use logic and reason.

Wouldn't this produce a 2 ohm load? If I'm mistaken, let me know. I don't want to get the wrong amp. > Well, since the sub has dual voice coils, Holy Errors of Omission Bat Man, don't you think you ought to have mentioned that to begin with? -- Lizard sheesh... Well, in his defense, the ID V.2 and V.3 subs are only available in DVC.

But he never said if the 4 ohms he mantioned was for a single coil or the final load.

Yea, I kinda thought it was implied, but I guess it wasn't that clear. Anyways, thanks for all your help guys. I really do appreciate it. > Well, in his defense, the ID V.2 and V.3 subs are only available in DVC. I forgot we were all supposed to be walking f.cking databases of the latest fad in pos speakers. -- Lizard A quick jump over to www.imagedynamicsusa.com cleared it up. Its always good to familiarize yourself with the equipment being asked about before responding.

You don't go do the doctor and say "I'm hurt" and expect him to write a prescription right there do you? -- Lizard Unless it's Rush Limbaugh's doctor... What's wrong with ID subs?
