    I am running a dsr1, sub and box with a 8 channel amp from James. I want more out of the subwoofer so I am going to add a dedicated sub amp. I have it narrowed down to these 2 amps both are rated 300watts ar 2ohms. Anyone have any experience with one or both?

    I'm just running one 10in infinity sub at 2 ohms. It's like 250-300 rms rating.

    The only reason id go with the audio control is if you are running the factory head unit so you can eliminate the bass roll off.

    Edit, I see you have the dsr-1, just get whichever is cheaper

    Found 1 more amp that fits the profile. Rockford fosgate T500X1br. So it's between the Rf, audiocontrol acm-1.300 and the kicker key 500.1.

    Yes it is, also had built in DSP. I am running every speaker in the truck off this amp. Need more out of the sub because it's only getting 60 watts. Well I pulled the trigger on the AudioControl ACM-1.300. Well see how the sub sounds when getting 300 watts.
