Hi, I wonder if anyone can help, I have recently bought a Lanzar Vibe250
amp, its two channel amp which gives:

2 x 250W rms at 4ohms or
2 x 450W rms at 2ohms (and its bridgable at 4ohms giving 900W rms)

I was thinking about running two 12" subs off it but not too sure what
make/model to use to give maximum impact and not breaking the bank! :-s

Any advice or ideas would be much appreacated (even if saying not to use 2
12"s)

Thanks again
Andy

How loud do you want it? Are you looking for SPL or SQ? We need to know
what you're after before we can help you out.

Whats yoyur budget?
How many dbs are you trying to reach?

Well I guess SPL over SQ but I dont want it to sound really overly powerful
bass which sounds distorted and poor. The power I want is enough so that
the passengers in the front of the car (a hatchback) can 'feel' the bass
strongly when I have pushed the volume up and a nice rumble which rounds off
the music when listening normally.

Thanks for your reply and any info on the best way to achieve this effect,

Andy
