Here are a number of options for a single amp 6 channel: https://www.sonicelectronix.com/ci45-5-channel-6-channel-8-channel-amplifiers.html?sort_order=price_asc&filter_f_op_42_237=1 The AudioControl LC-6.1200 will do 200 watts rms x 6 at 2 ohm.

Ok, that amps puts out nearly 2K at 1 or 2 ohm, it has been tested with the SMD AD-1 and is in the power range of your subs, Only if you have thoroughly checked your electrical, wiring, box design, gain settings to be perfect then you can look for another amp to see if your amp is under performing for some reason. To me your box is in the smaller side 2.25 to 2.5 net with 35 square inches per driver is what you should have.

I changed my mind a bit on the AMP setup. Currently I am planning on using 3 Fosgate T400X2ad 2 channel amps. That would give me all 6 speaker channels I need. That gives me my 180w minimum per speaker location I need. I am still hoping for a 1 amp solution to this though if anyone knows of one.

I'm using an audio control LC6i in my ford fusion that has had the "thump"/speaker pop issue on shut off since I installed it. Typically I think the LOC(if one is being used) is the culprit here. I'm using its GTO feature to turn the LOC on which turns the system on which is where my problem comes from. If memory serves what causes it would be the head unit turning off before the amp. I didn't have much luck fixing it so I decided to live with it. If you are having a similar issue, you could try wiring in a physical shut off switch to the REM wire on your amp then try shutting it off first before you turn the car/head unit off and see if the issue still persists. From there I'm not sure what to do since, like I said, I could not figure out how to fix this issue myself. Knowing your full setup, such as factory or after market head unit, LOC(if there is one) and such would help as well.

My current plan is 2 1000.4 amps to power 6 channels. I am looking at the B2 Rage MI 1000.4s because I love the one in my Ford Fusion. That being said I'm also looking to cut costs if I can by reducing the speaker amps to 1 if possible. I want to keep the factory setup of all 4 doors plus the center and rear deck. With that in mind is there a 6 channel 1500 watt door speaker amp that can fill my needs? I've googled around but I only seem to find amps that are built to power 4 doors and 1 or 2 subs(from what I can gather reading the power outputs of the channels anyways).

I have the newest model 46CXA1800.1T it’s 1ohm stable.

Your box is in the small side and I don't know how you connect your D4 subs since the cxa amp you have is only 2 ohm stable. On the E1500.1 it is a sound quality amp, you only have some daily subs, so probably it's abilities won't benefit you at all, to me you need more power, for example a skar rp-2000.1d which is only about $220 will move those subs like you want.

I haven't actually bought them yet 😄 I'm at the CAD design stage of the enclosure.

The biggest turn off is I am getting a turn off thud via the amp to the subs when I shut the system off that I have never had with any amp in this car .

Ported enclosure 3.5 cubic total 32hz tune. 40ah lithium. 99 eclipse.

i cant seem to find a spec for it, but you should be able to measure the rectangle and cut it out from there

Anyone know the cutout size for the SMD QR-2 speaker terminal?

that cxa 1800.1 should get the job done with those subs. what kind of box are they in? what vehicle? what kind of electrical upgrades do you have done to the vehicle?

that's going to be a lot of sound from only a foot or so away from your ears... personally I've never been a big fan of putting a bunch of sound in those cross bars, they can be tricky to make sound right while not blowing out your ear drums. as far as powering it a 4 channel would work well. you could use 2 channels for the mids and 2 for the highs. you would just need to know the power handling for everything you intend to put on the amp, and then shop for an amp based off of those numbers. i will say, from an ex-installer, jeeps (edit: wrangler based jeeps) are some of the toughest vehicles to run stereo in. there's just no room to put anything. with that being said, i would look heavily into the micro/ powersports amplifiers as they will be better suited for your vehicle

youll spend more time and effort than its worth fixing that amp. sometimes thats just the way it goes. when you tested it were the RCAs plugged in?

Hello everyone! I'm working on upgrading my system on a Jeep Gladiator. I just upgraded to a new Fox sub box and Sundown Audio SA V2 10" x 2. I haven't ordered a new amp yet, so I'm crossing my fingers for a D4S memorial day sale. I just got the big 3 done. I will also add a LTO 6 1-2 on the back to support the amp. Currently I still have 2 sets of Morel Maximo 6 component speakers. 1 set on the front stage and 1 set on the factory soundbar. I got my eyes on a new set of 4 x 8" mids and 4 x highs over the head American Soundbar. How should I go about this if I want to connect all of them to a 4 ch amp? What will be a better sound stage for this setup? I did look into some deaf bonce, D4S and Sundown speakers. What do you guys recommend? -All same mids and highs -Front mid range/highs and mid bass on sound bar -Front mid range/highs and mix a pair of mid range and a pair of mid bass on sound bar Thanks!!

I suspect this amp is putting out dc voltage on the speaker outputs. Need to check what it could be. I suspect transistor maybe

turns out there is a fault with this amp. had a speaker connected to it and as soon as amp is powered on the speaker cone is pulled down and stays down unless amp is powered off. keep amp powered on too long and speaker smokes. good thing im testing it with used old speakers from junk yard and not my main sub. not sure what this fault is or how it can be fixed. fuse doesnt pop on the amp either. and i used a 10amp fuse to be on the safe side.

I have two kicker Comp q class 12’s D4’s . Would the D’Amore E1500.1 be a good choice? The subs have an rms of 850 per. Thanks. Currently using a kicker CXA 1800.1 just not impressed with it.

the sae series is just a lower line of sundown amps... i would expect it to do rated if not a little more.
