I have a Power Acoustik MOFO 152X sub. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_17677_Power-Acoustik-MOFO-152X.html
Currently it's being powered by a crappy Soundstorm SSL Evolution 4000D wired at 4 ohm. I would like to have a good amp that puts out 1500-1700 rms while wired to 1 ohm. Electrical currently will only drop to 13.8 at the most from a 14.4 idle.
My budget is anywhere under 300. Lower the better, obviously. My income is next to nothing. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

OK so got my DD1 hers what i did. For every EQ setting, changing the treble all the way from -6 to +6. The deck always clips at 44 meaning 43 is safe.
For Bass, heres the safe numbers.
Bass Volume is always at 6/12
By turning the sub volume down (anything under 6) you don't gain any deck volume. By turning it up (past 6) you lose 1 volume unit every sub volume unit meaning. deck clips at 44 and sub at 6, deck clips at 43 and sub at 7 deck clips at 42 and sub at 8 and so on.
Bass EQ and safe volumes with sublevel at 6/12
-1 through -6 safe is 44
+1 safe is 42
+2 safe is 41
+3 safe is 39
+4 safe is 38
+5 safe is 36
+6 safe is 35
So as an end result. 1k safe at 43 and 40hz safe at 44 with sub volume at 6. I turned my sub volume to 7 that way my highs and lows get the most clean volume, at 43/46 Any questions let me know (: hope this helps
Okay good stuff, what do you mean by the Sublevel? I haven't seen that on my head unit, do you just mean the bass level? I have that set currently at -6, and my treble at +4. So my max safe is 43?

Damn haha I've been keeping it at a max of 40. But it's sounded clean to me, but I don't really have an ear for it yet.
Don't even use a ear as a judge.
Yeah I know I shouldn't, not touching anything higher until I find out from somewhere what the clip volume is.

Hey man, i got the Dual XHDR6435 (older) and the specs are about the same. . .600peak, 18 rms, 2volt pre outs. My DD1 should be here by friday, ill let you know what that clips at and i bet thatll give you a pretty damn close idea on yours.
not to mention they are both CEA-2006. . . if yours goes to 46 max like mine, we should technically have the same number for clippin volume
Yup, mine has a max of 46 as well. Well good stuff! Thanks man, I look forward to finally figuring this out. Haha.

I have this head unit and was curious as to what volume it starts to clip at. I'm sure it isn't clipless because it is not that high quality, just want to know my max safe number.
Thank you

Alright thanks dude.

Sorry for the quality of these pictures, I don't have a good camera. But these will suffice.
Trunk entrance height. Can't see the tape measure well but it's 17"
http://s1055.photobu...4-16_153023.jpg
Trunk height - 17"
http://s1055.photobu...4-16_152941.jpg
Trunk width - 38" but the trunk entrance will only let me put in 32"
http://s1055.photobu...4-16_152919.jpg
Entire Trunk
http://s1055.photobu...4-16_152803.jpg
So it can't be 38" wide unless I can like build a box in halves and slide each half in and then glue it together and whatnot once it's in and let it sit. If there's even a good way to do that, hahah!

Could you post some pictures of what you are working with?
Sure thing, I will post pictures in a couple hours when I get home.

He could make it work. The port would have to be all external though
How do you suggest I do that? The port can't fit on the sides of the box, only along the top. And I can get a few more inches of height if need be.
-
Well what do you suggest? Go sealed? Or would a slightly smaller-than-it-should-be ported box be better? The pair of subs has a 6000 watt total max, and 3400 watt total RMS. Given that my amp is 4000 and will be at 2-ohms they will be underpowered.

Just recently got my first car and have installed my old set of 15's in it, but I sold that and am ordering new stuff. I have two Power Acoustik 15" MOFO 152x's on the way along with a SoundStorm SSL 4000 watt monoblock amp. Using a 0 guage wiring kit. This is going in the trunk of a 2000 Nissan Altima SE, and my trunk dimensions are 32" wide, 17" high, and 25"(Give or take) deep . And I want to go ported and have a tuning of around 33hz. The subs would be firing towards the license plate and the port I'm thinking should be at the top back.
But what I need to figure out is the port dimensions and whatnot needed to get 33hz. Sorry I'm a little noobish with this, the help is appreciated.
Need help picking out a new amp!

Hmm I think I'd probably choose the Brutus. It's pretty cheap, and a lot of people mention it as a good amp. Thank you for your help everyone!
