well, you'll want something around 300 rms at 2ohms, im at work so cant look, but alpine would probably have something around there. soundstream too, both for a very decent price.

They are rated at 500w a piece so I would say go with something around 600 or so. Clarion used to make some decnt amps that were easy on the wallet and were class d amps. The last one I saw was like 400w and it was only around 200.00. It really depends on your spending limit. If it were mine I would say go and get the JL 500/1 and you wouldn't have any worries. I had that amp and ran 15's, 12's, and everything else off of it and never had a single problem. Too bad it got stolen.

You're looking at the peak rating. Never go by peak power to determine what amp to get. I suggest a nice 400w rms amp.

get a real amp, check out some of the smaller JL mono amps, or even Boston Acoustics. I just sold my JL 500/1 for $200. Good deals are out there, just gotta look. Craigslist almost always has good amps for sale, that's where I sold mine.

Can you describe what it does before the fuse blows?

[paflores9]

so i turn on the radio on and if i used on the volume before or at 20 it works just great but if go over 20 it blew.

[sonikaccord]

how are your gains set? and what kind of head unit do you have?

[loud92CB7]

haha are u Bridging the amp??? lol makin it mono where its only meant to run 4ohms and ur running 2????

[paflores9]

the deck is a sony explod, i used this amp in another accord with no problems, i double checked all the wires and non of them is touching anything else, i dont know if putting a bigger fuse out of the battery would help, i am using a 30 fuse out of the battery, do you think i need a bigger one?

[sonikaccord]

Are you talking about the fuses in the amp, or the fuse in-line with the power wire. loud92 made a good point about the bridge. How are your subs wired?

[paflores9]

Its the fuse in-line with the power wire.
but i think or i hope i fixed alredy. lol
i put a bigger fuse a #40 and its working god so far.
so i will let you now.
thanks for all the help.
