Question about amps and channels
I currently am looking at amps to power my subs (3 10" MTX 500 watts each/1500 watts total). I've heard that mono channels are the best but are quite expensive. Can I buy a 2 channel amp and still get a lot of power out of it?

yes just make sure that the amp is bridgeable most 2 channel run at 2-4 ohms. You need to be careful that the 3 subs dont drop it down below 2 ohms or you will fry the amp

What is the series on the MTX? 1500 watts is overkill! Dont look at Peak power only RMS. If you are on a buget and are looking for a good amp go with viper or directed. They are a good, lots of power, and great costomer service. Also go with a mono, trust me it is worth the extra $$.

FIgure out the total impedence of the sub setup, it might tell you on their site. If not ive seen similar setups sold at other places, such as cardomain or possibly one of the bigger automotive cataloges.
