I am thinkin about puttin in subs for my car and wanted ur inputs on the setup i am thinkin about. Either 1 or 2 10 inch polk mm2104 subs and the polk C300.2 amp. Wat do you guys think? The subs are currently on sale 2 for 1 at circuit city so i mite run both or just use one. SHould i go for this setup or not? thanks

    I would not use polk amps because their amps do not match their subwoofers
    im not sure what the 2104 is rated at...is it 400 watts?
    well, assuming its 400 watts
    running a single 300.2 to it would be ideal
    even though its rated at 550
    you would have to keep the gain down
    if you wanted to run 2 subs...then the only amp polk offers would be the c500.1
    but this amp only puts out 500 watts x1 at 2 ohms
    you would be getting 250 to each sub
    150 less than what you could run it at
    1 2104=1 polk c300.2
    2 2104=look somewhere else for an amp besides polk

    I would add that Polk amps are way over priced. Not that they are bad amps but, for that price, Id take a JL Audio or Xtant before a Polk.

    As for your application, Id suggest this Coustic. Its a very good amp and puts out exactly what you want, 400x1 or 400x2 and at $280 aint a bad deal.
