Dehubb Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 I have four db drive platinum series 15s (1000w rms) and im trying to pick an amp that will work my subs. Ive wasted lots of money and time buying amp after amp from blowing them. i will admit that they arent the best of choice, but they are what i can afford. I admit im a novice to installing, which i do not do, and to amp selection. I just want input on what kinds i should go for, new or old amps(i can try and locate discontinued amps) thanks in advance for the advice.. amps ive had Planet Audio 5000.1 (burnt out) trash product will never buy a planet audio amp again. Planet Audio 3200vx (burnt out) DD 3000 amp (burnt out) Power Acoustik ov1-5500 gothic series (damaged in wreck)best amp I had never burnt out, took some juice, have a friend with one on four 15 kicker cvx and he is king of the town with his.

wizart383 Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 (edited) Rockford fosgate t4000 DD Audio M4a Sundown audio 4500 Dc 5k These are some good amps that should work for you. But make sure you have the juice to power these amps. Edited December 25, 2011 by wizart383 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwdrblucivic Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 What final OHM LOAD are you running? You need to get an amp that will handle the load and back it up with the proper electrical. Good Luck!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bump4life Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 if you would save for a quality amp the first time and have proper electrical and wiring then you wouldnt be wasting more money buying crappy amps that are gunna die on you. go DD AQ DC Sundown. SOmething worth your time and money.

lazie420 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 how much do you have to spend on an amp, figure that out. you know what you dont want thats a good start, and what do you have for an alt and wiring and are you willing to change these things if you have to .

TeamHT Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 When you continue having problems, you HAVE to start looking at the constants...which would be you. I would almost bet that user error is the real issue with your equipment. Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9515ROB Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) sounds like you better upgrade your electrical system before you keep investing in amps. Because either your voltage problem or ohm load is the problem and my guess is your voltage have you upgraded any of your electrical system??? also are you mounting the amp to the box or is it on the floor??? And what ohm load are you running your amps at???
