I'm debating on picking up some of the A/D/S line 246's for 130 dollars shipped. I have an alpine amp that will supply 120watts or so rms so it'd be a perfect match.
I'm just wondering how big of a difference is there between the two? one is 130 and the other is 200 shipped. Is the 346's worth the 70 dollars more.
Requirements are:
1.) Sound clean
2.) Get loud
3.) Not blow
I will have an 18" RE SX 18" in the back powered by hopefully an Orion HCCA 2100 amp and then the fronts powered by the Alpine 5 channel (bridged).
So needs to be able to keep up with an 18" sub and not distort like crap.
Few component sets are actually going to keep up with an 18" sub. You'll have to attentuate your sub for your front stage (most people like their sub much louder than it actually should be to match up).
With that said, you're going to need a lot of power and displacement to keep up.
Edit: And, of all things, I forgot to say look for efficiency. lol
