I have 2 amps (1) a Profile California 3300 3 Channel, 300watt Peak amp, (2) a Jensen A222HX 2 Channel 100 W per channel.

I have 1 Orion Cobalt 12" SVC Subwoofer that came in a Dual Ported enclosure already.

My question is this, Can the 3 Channel be bridged into the 1 subwoofer. (Giving me 300watts peak) or am I better off with the Jensen that can be bridged to 250 Watts max with a 125 watt RMS.

The book for the 3 ch gives output power of 75wX2+150W with RMS of 37WX2+75W and MONO CH RMS Power of 75W.

Any suggestions which is gonna give me the most power and best sound?

Thanks

No, you cannot combine the three channels of the Profile amp into one woofer. Ignore the "peak" power ratings on those, they will be lucky to attain the RMS ratings. And if you really want a suggestion as to "best sound," dump both amps. Sorry, but those two brands are really low-end and while it may be acceptable for you, they are not brands I can recommend.

i agree with DYohn .both of those amps are of very poor quality. i would suggest a small mono block amp. take a look at www.ikesound.com look at the alpine and kicker amps. no more than 500watts RMS you should only need 300watts RMS good luck

OK I know they are lousy amps. But out of the 2 which is better. BTW the subwoofer is 400watt, RMS is 200 Watts. Can I get the 3 channel bridged to 150W or is max 75W RMS. I know the Jensen can do 125w RMS bridged 4 ohms.

Use the Jensen, it makes the most sense.

Any suggestions on a good amp with rms of apx 200w. Sub is rated 400w peak and 200w rms. I also have 2 10" MTX's (1) 1 in a ported Jensen Tube and 1 not used so maybe a 200w (rms) per channel 2 channel amp.

Any recommendations

i think you should build or buy a slot ported box .for the 2 10" MTX's and get a decent amp. what are those MTX's RMS rated power handling ?
