you are right, i wonder why all these dumbasses choose to run their amps at 1 ohm, when 2 ohm is safer and sounds the same

You are giving bad advice...we don't know the op's experience. Of course he isn't going to actually see the "full rated watts" but if he doesn't have the tools to set the amp right, then your 400 watt "guess" of how much he will see is still enough to melt a coil. If your bad advice makes him blow his equipment then I'm sure you won't be the first to offer him the money to recone the sub. Even though it's only $40 for the recone, maybe he doesn't want to have to deal with it, maybe he doesn't want to spend $40 every time your bad advice blows his sub. Im speaking from first hand experience. You are just reciting something you've read. Sa subs are little beasts. he will be fine with that mq quart 1000 watt amp. IF HE GETS THE D2 AND ENDS UP BLOWING IT, PM ME AND I WILL PAYPAL YOU 40 BUCKS. OP YOU WANNA GET LOUD RIGHT?

dont let sprkn_ranger see this.

sorry you are incorrect here. its better to have more power available then less. Just because you can get 1000 rms @1ohm, it does not mean you have to have it at full tilt everytime. There is alot you need to read and learn before you can tell people that they are wrong. Generally when I am not familiar with a subject "I try" to refrain from telling people what to do.I'll have to disagree with you on this stealth...I don't think it's a good idea for someone who appears to be new to car audio to overpower a subwoofer. Yes the SA12 can handle 1000w and not be damaged, but if you don't know what you are doing, if your enclosure isn't designed properly, if he were to not want to void his warranty (I know he's looking at a used sub, this is more of a general statement) or doesn't have the proper tools to tune his system, then the advice you have him is pretty bad and can damage his equipment.If I were you OP, I'd buy the SA 12 and play with it and then read and learn more before you get into overpowering your subs. Edit- And that used d4 will wire down to 2ohms and match up pretty good with the 2ohm rating on your amp. do you really think he is gonna get 750 at 2 ohms. when all is said and done he will be lucky to get 400 clean watts. Have you heard of a gain knob? Is there such a thing? a volume knob? OP if you wanna get loud then get your moneys worth and wire it down to 1ohm. If you dont have the need to be loud and dont take this as a hobby, get the D4. This guy is Crying about voiding warranty. A recone is 40 bucks.

ps, I've ran a few Sa subs (Sa-8, Sa-10, Sa12s). They are pretty resilient subs.

yeah. dont mind me. you can only make negative comments on this forum if people know you.

D2. wire the positves together then to the amp. then wire the negatives together to the negative on the amp

This is your first post? you failed

pics of red spiders please!

not an SSA guy again.

2 ohms - rise + clipping = 1.5k

I can help you increase your score. Double your baffle.

moar power! subs moving in excess usually is a sign of playing out of tuning like said above..

looks like a regular spl vehicle to me. without the tubes.

can we at least get some info?

nice song! but that video tho

DYLANS [/url]

they have these lights in rainbow crossovers.

Or buy a grommet tool? hehe yeah, obviously if you dont have one.. hehe obviously.

if you need to run a thin wire through firewall or dash then straighten a metal hanger, then tape the wire to the hanger and run it through that way.

wouldnt the amp always stay on?

if you ran wires through your doors for your speakers and didnt label them, use a 12 volt drill battery to see which one it is!

im sure its not 4 volts.
