I need some recomendations for amps. I need it to be 500wx1 @ 2 ohms. Really it needs to be 3 ohm stable, but good luck finding something for that. I need two of these. I have a couple of 500wx1 @ 4 ohm stable (250x2 @ 2 ohm), but these might get hot. They need to run one channel and have high pass filters. Amps are not for subs. Oh, and did I mention I need good but reasonably priced? Thanks.

I think JL Audio amps work at many ohms, including 3 ohms.

To be honest I can't remember how we wired and at what ohms....I can tell you though that the speakers are seriously loud and clear :)

I used to be all about Kicker for amps. But I have never been happier since I bought Directed. They make great products. And their customer service is great too.
good luck

I really like wakeside.com for just about everything wakeboard oriented. They have a rewards program. 99% of the time they are the same price as every other website, but the rewards really pushes me over. Anyway, I bought a pair of these from them last year for just over $1800. They, along with everyone else, are now selling them for just over $1700. I like the appearance of these over a couple of others I was looking at. The others I liked were the NVS Entitiy 1010's and the Wetsounds Pro 485's.

I remember seeing those in another post of yours. They helped push me down the right road also. Thanks.

Has anyone looked into the Alpine MRD-M605? It's spec's are 400 watts x 1 at 4 ohms (600 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms) and about $200 less than the PDX-1.600.
How about the Infinity Reference 611a? It's spec's are 456 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms (657 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms) and it is only $200.
Both are Class D, and neither have the high pass filters.

The Alpine PDX Amps run at Multiple imedances just as the JL's. They are also more efficient. Also the Phoenix Gold RSD amps are stable at 2 ohms. They have one rated at 600W rms.

Cole Sanger...
Can you hear your speakers if your running...? with them under the deck like that...? or is that strictly for when your parked?
Dont they get hot under the back deck? i've got twins and it gets pretty warm back there....
you cant enter the boat from the rear with the deck up..?
but hey, whatever works, looks cool. :D
