hey long time reader second time poster?..lol

either way the more i read about car audio the more confused i end up. i know a bit and some of the basics

anywho
my old set up used a legacy 2 ch amp (i know i know legacy are crap) but in attempts to make my subs work to there full power i thought i would get a new amp

the subs are MTX 12 inch mzs1204 300watt rms 4ohms
the amp I'm thinkin about using is a AUDIOBAHN A6004V

so 2 subs that i need to run at 300watt;s each right?
audiobahn amp specs are

RMS POWER RATINGS:
4 Ohms Stereo: 75W x 4
2 Ohms Stereo: 150W x 2
4 Ohms Mono: 300W x 2
Class A/B MOSFET Circuitry
PWM MOSFET Power Supply
Double-Sided Glass Epoxy Circuit Board
THD: 0.02%
S/N Ratio: >100dB (+/- 1dB)
Frequency Response: 10Hz - 40KHz
Variable 18dB Hi-pass Crossover: 50Hz - 750Hz
Variable 18dB Low-pass Crossover: 30Hz - 120Hz
Bass boost @ 45Hz: 0-18db
Subsonic Filter: 20Hz - 50Hz
RCA Throughput Connections
3-way Protection Circuitry: Thermal, Short Circuit and Overload
Cooling Fan
Cobalt Blue Illumination
High Gloss Chrome-Plated Finish
Nickel-Plated Block Terminals
Dimensions: Height: 2 1/8", Width: 11 1/16", Depth:9 7/8"

its a 2ch amp so id have to bridge the 4 into 2 for each sub and that would give me my "4 Ohms Mono: 300W x 2" (300 watts RMS x 2 bridged output at 4 ohms (4-ohm stable in bridged mode) ?

i think im on the right track here and have this all leveled out. but hey i could be 100% off cause everyplace i call everyone i talk to tells me something diff. i don't want to run 2 mono amps. i want the best set up for the lowest dent in the wallet

so does this all work as I'm thinkin it should? is this amp a pos or will it be worth $140 us?

any comments ideas...ect are welcome.
thanks

it should work, i have a system that has similar wattage as yours. you could always bridge everything and parallel the subs like i did, that along with a good 4gauge kit and you are gonna have a very loud and deep bass the only difference is that i have the rockford p3001 amp, sub's rms is the same

i wanted to avoid parallel .. and i dont know how this would change anything really. probably make things harder for me.

i was told by futureshop when i returned my subs that i was running them in stereo this is why they didnt move at the same time.. they sold me rca plugs to go from 2 plugs to one then from 1 plug to 2 plugs. . i walked out the store thinking ... wait a sec this does nothing!

i plan on getting a cap and building a custom figerglassed sub box as well. how ever in order to do that i need a better set up. running a cheaper then walmart brand amp is not cutting it

the problem is im in a shity lil city (compared to most here) we have like one shop you can get sound systems installed other then futureshop. every group of friends calls them self a car club and every other car is a early 90's civic with a fart can 3 times the size of the back bumper and a wing that sticks up 14 and a half feet off the back of the car. some soo much wing that you can see the front wheels hardly touching the gound!

but getting back on topic.. i hope the amp works cause im going turn to my good friend ebay

I'd take that used over an Audiobahn new. My 2¢

That PPI would be a way better amp, even if the "rated" power is lower it will have more clean power and will sound way better than the Audiobahn. Hope you get it
