But bazooka amps arent pushing a true 500 watts x 2 @2ohm are they? I have never seen one, but I would just imagine it is another jensen and crap like that. Us acoustics, pyramid, lanzar, profile....this kind of class.
I thnk Bazooka amps are concidrably better than the ones you mentened. I'm not saying they are a high end amp, but they are certainly addiquate to drive subs.
Pyrymid and Profile are low end amps. that are often overrated on their power specs. US Acoustics and Lanzar make good products that put out their rated power. I don't know about Bazooka, though. Someone try one and measure what it can do. I've already got 4 amps in the mail.
BTW< that place also has a Bazooka EL-2100 for $50.
You need a driver capable of handling the power, a volt meter, and a test CD. You want to play a sine wave or pink noise or white noise and measure the voltage across the terminals on the driver.
Power = Voltage squared divided by the resistance of the sub
