How much more power and suggestions on an amp for 10s

 

Im sending them 600 each parked and a little over 700 running.

I am running a 1200.1 to 2 of them.

I've done an entire bike off a 600/6 with just 100w going to the 10's and it was nice daily rider packages but the rest of the bike wasn't that loud either so it worked. The Fosgate amps will not push a set of 10's well. They just won't. I think power to the 10's has to be relative to the volume of the rest of the bike. I recently did a bike with a Stinger Amp going to two 10's and it wasn't enough to keep up. Had the rest of the bike not been a loud it woulda worked. He needed a 1200.1.

 

what Haze said was a better way of what i was trying to say in my first post about how the rest of the bike was set up. Thanks for that Haze, coming from you, it carries more weight than from newbie me. as for the original poster, with the set up you describe in your signature, i would think that you'd want at least 300 watts going to each, if not more. for my bike i needed in the neighbor hood of 500, but mine is being done for me, not comp or anything else, just to do what i want. If the rest of your ride is real loud and it looks like it might be, start thinking of more power.

M,
Any advice from you guys that have experience with a topic is always valuable and appreciated. Yeah it's pretty loud. I am rarely over 30 on the volume out of 43 where I set the gains at and my normal cruising speed on the highway is usually around 90.

 

Alex,
How low are these 10's able to be crossed at with around 500-600 watts going to them? Also do you have any experience with 10MR1003-NDY? I know not to judge a speaker on its specs but they look impressive. Looks like it might be able to play pretty low for a mid-range with a high SPL.

 

I had a 1600.1 to a pair of prv 10mb1000's.

 

Good find brother!!! That Focal will do very well for u and damn near any 10s u want to hook to it w bridged wiring.
