Mdraha Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 First of all, I don't know much about car audio. I installed my whole system by myself and made my box and everything, but I'm nowhere near as knowledgeable as most of you on here so forgive me if I have no idea what I'm talking about. I got a Dual 1 ohm 12" Fi BL and I'm looking for an amp that will work well with it, with a little headroom if possible. I should have bought the dual 2 ohm version since amps that run at 1 ohm are much cheaper. But my dumbass wanted it to work with the amp I've been using, and it ended up blowing a few weeks later after using it for about 2 years (RF 1001bd..old version). I get a little confused with the whole ohm thing...I know that I can wire this sub down to .5 ohms and 2 ohms. I'm not sure what amps I can go with that would work well wired down to .5 ohms. Budget is about $300 but I'm hoping to be able to find an amp for $200 used. Any help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercharged DCs Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Cadence BC (I believe) amps are stable down to .5ohm, and warrantied as well. Should be in your range... BUT, if you don't have the voltage to supply to the amp, it will shit on you. What's your electrical looking like? Quote Bassless once again.

MrSkippyJ Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) I have a RF T1000-1bdcp that would work perfectly with that sub. $350 plus shipping and it's brand new, still wrapped in plastic if you are interested. It won't do .5 but will do over 1k @ 2Ohms Edited June 3, 2011 by MrSkippyJ Quote F150: Stock 2019 Harley Road Glide: Amp: TM400Xad - 4 channel 400 watt Processor: DSR1 Fairing (Front) 6.5s -MMats PA601cx Lid (Rear) 6x9s - TMS69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP, go with this! You can wire to 2ohm, still get tons of power and it won't strain your electrical system as much. Quote Bassless once again.

XX7R Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Or you could just get an AQ2200 or a Crescendo BC2000 and wire the sub to 2 ohms? So your not voltage droppin like a motherfucker if you dont have the electrical Quote 1990 Nissan 300zx Twin Turbo - Summer Ride(No system yet, lookin to get it up to 450-500 horse first!)2006 Chevy Malibu - Daily DriverDC Level 5 15", 2 APSM-1500's, 3.88 cu. ft. tuned to 32hz1992 Honda Prelude - SOLD2 18" TC 3hp Woofers on a Crescendo BC3500.1d, 12.7 cu. ft. tuned to 35hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert8252 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 The T1000 is still going to be stronger at 2ohms then the others mentioned.

DannyV18 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 That rockford amp is a great choice for a 2 ohm amp @ around 1000 watts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XX7R Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 What does the t1000 put out at 2 ohms if its so much stronger?

Mdraha Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) Funny thing is that I have been looking for an RF amp since mine was such a beast (it was used for about a year and a half before I bought it, and I used it for another 2 more years)...but I'm honestly trying to get around 1300-1500 watts to the sub without hurting the amp. I believe when I got it tested a few years ago, it was putting out about 1250 pretty easily. I'm aware that the T1000 is also underrated but $350 is just too much for me. It's tempting to just grab that off of you but $300 is really my limit. And my electrical is NOT upgraded (yes stupid...working on it too).

MrSkippyJ Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 What does the t1000 put out at 2 ohms if its so much stronger? 1000 @ 1 and 2 ohms. Birthsheet says 1498@2 and 1507@1 or something real close to that.
