Kindly clarify my doubt
the rms value is the thermal handing of the sub , which means that it can handle 400 watts rms continous without getting damaged.....

the jbl is a svc having a vc of 250 rms and the pioneer is having dvc each coil having the handling capacity of 200 watts rms.... but there are two vc so the handling gets double.....

the cost factor is due to the B&w factor mainly.........not the rms value...

also the rms in not a factor which will help u judge which sub is better.....

I saw this amp at one of the car accessories shop and he quoted me around 3.5k for 4 -ch one and around 2.5k for 2-ch local-made alpine amplifier.

Luckily,i had just joined t-bhp and i survived....

Right now i am not thinking of any modification but u never know as i have an extra sub..

But if i remember correctly,Gunbir/JB were not impredd with alpine 605 amplifier.In India this must be over 20k but on onlinecarstereo this amp sells for abt $210.

today i went to karol bagh

today i went to karol bagh to buy sony amp XM-SD51X (500w X 2 rms @ 2 ohms) the rate the dealer asked was Rs.8800 but he didn't had the amplifier at that time.
he showed me another model sony XM-SD61X (600w RMS @ 2 ohms) for Rs.12500 & pioneer 510D for Rs.10500
seeing the amps i got more confused pioneer amp was around half the size of sony amp & had only 25X2 A fuse compared to 30X3 A fuse on sony amp.
i returned empty handed to seek worthy advices from team-bhpians.

My main concerns are :-

1 Is sony amp sd61x better than pioneer 510d?

2 will the sony amp take up the 2 ohm load easily & won't trip,as i listen to music with deep bass?

3 is the sony amp powerful enough to pound two pioneer svc subs(400 + 400 watts rms)?

4 Do we have hifonics available in india?

5 On sony site XM-SD61X is more priced $399.95 than sony XM-D9001GTR $299.95 (around Rs.15000) even if the D9001GTR amp is more powerful 900w rms @ 2 ohms.can any one explain why?
or there is a typing mistake.anyway i will happily buy one D9001 if they were available in india

for D9001

please reply i am waiting........

a) the SD 61 is better but costs more than the D510
b) the SD61 will put out 600W at 2 ohms but only as a sub amp (20-200Hz) at 1% THD. read the pdf http://www.xplodsony.com/files/manua...ers_Manual.pdf

c) the SD61 will just about drive 2 Pio subs. It is not the wattage but the efficieny of the subs that you have to consider. efficiency ratings are normally something like 87db/1W/1m etc..

d) dont know

e) on paper the 9001 looks like better value but I suspect it is may not be as good as the SD61 - the SD61 has slightly better S/N ratio. I can be very wrong on this as I have not heard EITHER amp. Still given that the Pio subs you have are not known for bass definition the 9001 amp should suffice.

oh...i missed it earlier.

I can do if my friend Kb can lend me helping hand,though not empty...

Lets see if i can get good,cheap amplifier.
Do i have to upgrade wires to 2g from 4g at present?

@Veeru-Gunbir and JB have been very impressed with sony SD seris amplifiers and they have posted an install also,having sony SD sries amplifier 5-6 months back.U will have to ask gumbir or JB about that thread.

I don't get why people go for 306 DVC (they are not good woofers)
306 DVC cost less But make you spend 3ce the cost of them.
If u want good sound go for the 306 C or kenwood 3009 they are good woofers give tight bass and you require a single mono amp for them and that also sony 51 x
For single DVC even 51 x trips in around 1-2 hrs so no long music
306 DVC =
then you can even see if your with DVC boss Amp which is easily avaiable n got 1000 rms and then there is concorde 5.5 which belong to cheap category which take load of 2 DVC 2gether but install capaciters otherwise amp will get weak.
If your going for 2 sony 61x they'll move your car you'll get deep and clear bass with a controler to control bass from each woofer and don't 4get to get a new battery
i have
2@ DVC(306)
3@ AMPS(504 sony, sony mono, concorde)
1@ Compo(JBL 6'5)
1@ speakers(6975 pioneer)
2 @ centre speakers(blau)

1@compos 3-way (DLS iridium)
1@compos 2-way (Pioneer Kevlar)
0@centre speaker (we dont need this for anything)

along with H701, Ipod, Pioneer Ipod controller, Optima Yellow top, Audison AR wiring....

but any way in the first line you said 306dvc is a bad sub and in the last u are saying you have a 306dvc sub installed what is this mystery.....

hey ankushagg, just a suggestion.. if you have 2 subs and 2 amps driving them, its always better to go for a identical configuration... say, drop concorde and buy another sony mono...
because, the rating of sony mono and concorde would be different... so you might feel one of them loud and other not so loud.... thereby reducing the overall effect...

regards,
ant.

anku; why do you have 2 centers? oen for frnt centre and oen for rear centre? a 7.1 system?

could you post some pix of your install and which car? and which company RCAs do you use(if any)

and whats 1@ ? one pair? If so, do you haev 2 pair of center? I am confused!

amps trip if not tuned properly or if you have bad install and local brands. Correct me if I am wrong.
