I'm lazy, what is 200 canadian equal in usd?

Also what Sony amp do you have, and how is it wired? What ohm config. is your sub?

I dont understand that sony amp shouldnt be underpowering. Lets be realistic the infinity sub doesnt do exactly what its rated so since ti says 250 id prolly say round 225 lil less.

You're right there, but itwill take more than what it is rated for, not less. Those are decent subs.

yeah and depending on what sony amp he has it should work fine. Sony XM 2200GTX should work fine.

camryman1 · 09-16-2005, 02:25 PM

i am currently using a Sony XM-2100GTX. the infinity sub is rated at 250W rms while the sony amp is rated at 250W RMS mono @ 4 ohms. more info on the sub is avaialable on the original post.

I have to turn the bass boost to aroung 5 to 8 to get some good bass. But i am afraid that that much bass boost is going to blow my sub quick.

How about a eD nine.2

Bridged it will send a little over 400 watts rms.

It's 175 USD with this

My best advice is to post up a WTB ad on a few car audio forums, esp. www.elitecaraudio.com

You'll probably get some nice offers.

I only shop car audio products on Ebay and Forums. I also never buy new, unless it's a really smokin deal.

TeXaScHaMp · 09-17-2005, 04:11 AM

y dont u buy new?

TeXaScHaMp · 09-17-2005, 04:14 AM

oh and profile amps should do the job. www.profilecaraudio.com. Cheap solid amps.
