kickass audio Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 just a suggestion... I myself own a dc audio 175.4 amp and i love it. the quality is very good, only complaint is the settings for band pass since its directed toward subs, not door speakers which is no big deal to me but i love the quality and how well it performs. Maybe a dc audio 2k will do justice for you. They rate it at 2000 rms at 1 ohm which personally i think you should do because like everyone on here you will always get more subs/speakers and bigger and better stuff in the future and buying amps all the time is a pain. From what a friend of mine on here said is that dc amps are under-rated quite a bit. Now i did not have my 175.4 clamped so i cannot say off hand that they are but i can imagine they are under-rated. And just to clarify, you are wiring them im parallel too. If both your coils on the sub are dual 2 ohms like you said then you would wire it in parallel to get a 1 ohm load (positive of voice coil 1 to the positive on voice coil 2, negative of vc 2 to the neg on vc1. Just wanted to make sure you were aware of that.

Just wanted to make sure you were aware of that. yeah im going to wire them in parallel..not sure why i said in series....but money really isnt the problem and i dont want to buy a cheap amp..im looking for something that matches my sub...and no i wont get more subs or mono amps...this is going in my single cab truck and i can only fit 1 sub back there Quote 96 Ram Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
