How would I get the best SQ out of my mm120s? I wanted to do two RF 1000.2 er...1000.1 i think it was.., each powering both subs at 4 ohm doin 500 watts or whatever, how does that sound, or what do you reccomend? I was also thinking about two of the ALPINE T757 amps, would be just as good, and save a little more money.I want to run one dedicated amp to each sub. Also for breaking a sub in, would a 150w amp be underpowering it? Oh yeah, sorry one more question, The BMW m3 in the cool car installs, with the plexi glass n whatnot, what would something like that cost me to do, or could i do it myself with a little help?
Tommy,
I can't give you a price quote for the installation, but I can recommend using the Rockford RF1000.2's. Driving these subs with a amplifier that only has a power rating of only 150 Watts can damage them due to clipping and distortion. I would personally prefer these amplifiers over two MRV-T757's. More Power...
More Better Bass!! Plus I doubt that you will ever drive these amplifiers into clipping. Don't forget the ear plugs.
Thanks,
Kim

So should i use two RF 1000.2's? One for each sub? Oh yeah, didn't you say that running it at 4ohm is the best? So on the RF what should i run it at? Because the Rf power b.d 1000.1 runs 500watts at 4 ohm, and i could imagine it runs a little higher. One more question, sorry. What cables should i use, i was looking through topics and i saw it, but i lost the topic thread.
For the best sound quality I would suggest using 2 amplifiers. One driving each sub. Regarding cables, I would suggest looking at Monster Cable, Esoteric Audio, Phoenix Gold, Audioquest,
and Rockford Fosgate.
Thanks,
Kim

I was running two MM120's on an RF bd 1000a1 until Friday. The plastic that holds the spider down broke on one of them. The 1000.1 is the amp that you want. Wire both subs down to two ohms and you will be feeding them between 500 and 600 watts each.
