Has anyone tried hooking this up to a lower power amp say 50-75 watts? I wold like to use this to replace my factory sub, in an 01 Explorer limited

yes, that's fine. it would still be a major major upgrade from your stock subs. but it is recommended to power any sub at about 25% more than its RMS power rating to get the most out of what you paid for it. nevertheless, you'll have fun with it vs the stock ones.

to be honest not even close to 2600 watts. I haven't checked how much it puts out, I had that amp for a month and gave it away. Its not a good amp but if your on a budget its not bad, depends on what sub your hooking it up to.

Yeah, works great. I have it in my 99 mitsubishi eclipse with a pioneer 800watt sub and a 1000 watt amp. Pounds pretty hard. It doesn't take up much space. I have a room for a couple tool boxes. Never know when you are gonna need tools lol

You need an amplifier. There are no head units that im aware of that will properly power a sub.

Hello Ryan, with my old Engl 100 Watts Amp it works really fine. I get exactly the distortion I need. Connect it via fx-loop. Greetings, Tom

I have mine hooked up to 1 SA4 12 by sundown tuned to. 35h in a 2 cubic foot box an it BEATS!!!!!!!!!! I think as far as watts go they may b a little over rated, but the quality of the BRX series I'm very happy with ther a great amp for the money I even have the 640 as well. I'm pushing 4 6.5 alpines an 2 tweets with it an have n no trouble what's so ever with over heating are anything like that. I will tell u this if money is the issue u can go with a crunch amp they are made by the same company

It will do just fine. Personally I would wire the sub's down to 2 ohms then connect them to the amp. Hook everything up and turn it all down. Go out to the middle of no where turn your stero up to the normal volume you want it at and then adjust the amp to that. By all means it will probably over power your sub's since 150rms isn't much and 500 max seems high for a comp? I'm guessing. When you set the amp keep a eye on the sub's and what there dosing find the sweet spot and limit the amp not the volume. Its safer this way. Best of luck :)

You can't bridge the outputs but I suppose you could just pick an unused output and use that. But be aware that the amp only put out 50 watts @4 ohms and may not supply enough power for a sub

All that is in an eclipse convertible....it's plenty for me and I have the amp turned down. And the one sub output is 300 or 250 at 4ohms if I'm not mistaken....been a few weeks since I put it in.

Worked fine for me with bass control knob for 208. I have similar set up in an SUV and was worried 300 watts would under power subs but they sound great to me. Would 500 watts to the sub sound better? Technically perhaps they would but I am picky about sound and am happy with 300 watts which according to my research is within the preferred range of power. Plenty of power for moderate listening levels. If you are into rap and need to boom or listen at very high volume then perhaps not.

I have a 2000 explorer with the factory amp in the back. It works perfectly. If you don't have the factory sub in the back you don't need the harness with the rca jacks.

I would not try it. (But thats me) Looks to only handle 100w and the Amplifier is rated to 200w. Not sure the Linear is even type accepted.

The power on the rca out for the sub is intentionally low for clarity. A small amp should be used with it. I would recommend an all in one like the kicker bass station. Its a hundred watts built into the box. But im pretty sure you will need an amp for any sub connected with the rca, otherwise I would just wire it to the higher power outputs and omit the rca outs.

Ive had 2 of these for a year and half they are badass. I personally use a 40 amp breaker to run them. Pullin roughly 600 watts. I used 30 amp fueses and would always blow them when the bass hit low. P.S this is for 2 subs at 2 ohms make sure your amp will handle this and dont try to put 600 watt to one sub. You will blow one in a heart beat. Been there done that. Haha.

Yes. It is 300 watts into a 4-ohm speaker. From what I read your sub has a 4-ohm speaker. Just make sure the cabinet is tight when you fill the open areas. This should breathe new life into this sub!

Just from what I've researched, it won't power it very much.I use an MB Quart ONX 1.1000D. It's a D-Class (digital) amplifier. I have the subwoofer wired to 1-Ohms, so the amplifier puts out about 1000 watts rms.I bought it from 3 Kings Audio (through Amazon) for about $130 (about $170 now). I've had no problems with it and it REALLY brings the bass. It also comes with a bass knob you can run to the front for controlling just the subwoofer levels. I recommend it, but there are multiple other directions you could go in amplifier wise. Good luck with it and God Bless!

Make sure you have high capacity alternator, 4gauge wire or bigger, and that your subs can be wired to 1ohm. I have mines running 2 alpine type-x 12's at 1ohm fine all day long. Great amp for the price. Best money I've ever spent on an amp.
