Which do i buy to power a subwoofer?

the 251d is a one channel class D, for subs, but the 202 has a higher bridged power
not sure which would be better for subs?

my sub right now is rated at 150 watts rms, but i dont plan on keeping that much longer...


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hey man.. what's up...

i've had the 251D for about a week and let me tell you.. it was great and hit hard with my mtx 300 watts rms MZS...
if i were you.. pay a bit more and get the 251D... I promise you, you will thank me.

what impedence your woofer is would make a huge difference. if it is a SVC 4 ohm then get the 202. Which is a two channel bridgeable. if it is a 2 ohm load then get the 251 d

Class D. Only because you don't get the full potential out of the other amp. However, if you decide to get the class A now, and then the class D later, the class A can be used for speakers, where as the class D won't do you any good.

I already have my speakers running off a 5:0:4 Phoenix gold Octane, so, i dont think i will be needing this to run any speakers.....
I am thinking of going the 251D............
unless someone can change my mind...

I just got back from Futureshop, where i looked at both of these amps, the only thing i hated about these is the size of these!
these are truly tiny amps!

anyone else put off by this?

their gonna be tiny, they arnt putting out much power. honestly though your talking a diffrence of 25-50 watts, when in reality is only 1db of diffrence, if your going to get a new sub, why not just save your cash till your ready to buy the new sub then fine an amp and sub that match nicely.
