Ok so i just recently sold me 2 memphis 12's. im looking to get some orion's. im planning three 12's there 500w rms each and 1000w peak. I was wonder a good amp to get to run these. Dont really wanna spend to much money on the amp. Now my question is what amp shopuld i get for this?

 

no help?

 

I'd run a Memphis amp if I was you and you could grab one for a decent price.
A MC1.1100 will get you 550 RMS at 2 ohms.

 

What are the impedence loads of the woofers you are getting? How many voice coils do they have? These are very important factors in determining the amplifier you are going to get because you want to run as much power to your subs as possible without overdoing the thermal or mechanical limits. I could say get a 1500Wrms @ 1ohm amp, but if your subs are dual 4ohms, then you'd end up with a 2.66ohm load (all subs seriesed individually then paralleled together) at the amp, getting MAYBE 800Wrms depending on the amp. Also, since you are running 3 subs, there is no way you can run 1ohm to your amp (unless one sub is dual 4ohms and the other two are 4ohm SVC or dual 2ohms which would be ugly because one woofer would get double the power it's supposed to get).

 

actualy they are 3 10" cerwin vega dual voice coil. at 500w rms 1000w pk. i thought they were 12's.

 

dual 2 ohm voice coil or dual 4 ohm voice coil?

 

What is the ohm load of the voice coils? You can probably keep it simple and just get an Alpine MRP-M2000 amp. It's a beast!
