mgbadboyz Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Okay, so i finally upgraded from 2 12" dauls in a bandpass box with a 580 watt dual amp. I upgraded to 2 JL audio 15w0v2-4 15" subs. Only problem im having now is finding a good amp to power these, for cheap. I tried a local walmart and grabbed a 1000watt sony xplod for shits and giggles, and it made me giggle on how hot it got lol. After 2 minutes of playing it shuts the amp off from heat. Any ideas on a decent 1000 watt amp for under or around 150? The audio shop i got the subs from recommended the JL audio 1000/1 for 349.99 but thats a little to much. BTW this is in a 98 GMC suburban and they hit amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bre2ts Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 your probably clipping Quote Feedback 1 | Feedback 2 you win some, you lose some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watch the bass Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 your probably clipping Or X-Ploed amp´s didn´t do 1 Ohm. http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUDIOPIPE-AP15001D-1500W-MONO-D-Audio-Amplifier-/230699972988?pt=Car_Amplifiers&hash=item35b6ca397c Here a link to a well known bang buck product, does a little bit more than 1000 watt´s or have a look on the smaller AP 1300. Next guess the "want to sale section" , E-bay, craiglist and pawnshop. For your budget you can´t get a much better amp in used. If you have luck something like a RF 10001 BD Quote "in the abundance of water, the fool is thirsty" Bob Marley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgbadboyz Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 The amp is supposed to be 1000 watts at 2 ohms. thats how i got it wired right now, but it just wont hold the power. The amp over heats, and draws way to much power. The volts on the truck drop to about 10-12 sometimes even lower if its a longer bass note Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbox88 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 You have 2 dual 4 ohm subs do you not? I do not believe you have it wired at 2 ohms.... Quote UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgbadboyz Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 You have 2 dual 4 ohm subs do you not? I do not believe you have it wired at 2 ohms.... idk if u meant Dual as in the brand or dual as in 2. But they are JL audio 15w0v2-4. 4 ohm subs, but i got them running +/+ -/- then bridged on the amp. would that not be 2 ohms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbox88 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Oooooohhh, those are single voice coil subs, thought they were dual voice coil. My bad, carry on. Quote UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgbadboyz Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Yea, i didnt do much research on them. I was happy with how they sounded in the audio shop so i grabbed them. I just realized why u said dual now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBleedMusick Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 If you don't go with the AudioPipe maybe take a look at the Hifonics at SonicElectronix http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_22707_Hifonics-HFi1500D.html. Not much offered in that price range Quote 2013 Dodge Charger Build Log 1996 Ford Explorer XLT 5.0Build Log 2005 Honda Civic LX Coupe Build Log SMD SUPER SELLER!!!!My Selling Feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
