kryptonite Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I want to start off by saying this will NOT be a vs. thread. I need some opinions and thoughts on a couple different amp setups that i have to choose from. Not based on power ratings but which would be best for my setup. I'm currently running a pair of kicker CVR 15s, dual 2 ohm coils. I'm currently powering them with a single Rockford Fosgate Punch 500-1bd at 2 ohm. The 500-1 is stable at 1 ohm for 500 rms. I could buy a second 500-1 and run one per sub, just split the RCAs, i wouldn't run a bass knob since i have a kill switch on the turn-on lead and they're either beating or off lol. I also have the option of a Rockford Fosgate Prime 1000-1 which is stable to 2 ohm for 1000 rms. Either way will work and i'm not partial to either, which is why i need your help!

Pro7 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I voted get the 1000-1 just because then they would both be getting the exact same signal I know it wouldn't matter much if the lpf or ssf are off by one or two Hz but I just like everything to be even I guess Quote I've gotten a blowjob and picked up my iphone behind her back to see what email notification I got from smd before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmike Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I would do a single amp, that way you dont have to match gains and deal with the head ache of having to worry about 2 amps.As far as what brand, well thats up to you.

kryptonite Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I voted get the 1000-1 just because then they would both be getting the exact same signal I know it wouldn't matter much if the lpf or ssf are off by one or two Hz but I just like everything to be even I guess I thought of this and you're right, but the way the amp is now, the filter is maxed all the way up. I've had the prime 500 and it got warm at 2 ohm, the Punch barely changes at all. But i just want it to be right lol it looks like its the same price either way, it just comes down to personal preference I'm leaning on the punch but i still can't decide lol Quote DC SOUND LAB NUT HUGGERCurrently Own 4 - 18" lvl 6s (m3) w/full Carbon Fiber option 2 - DC 5k lvl 4 motor lvl 2 motor On 8/2/2013 at 8:13 PM, n8ball2013 said: this is much worse.

Omega5002 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Yeah, I'd go for the 1000-1, equal power distribution is guaranteed because each 500-1 has different birthsheets, so with the 1000-1, each sub will be getting the same exact amount of power, and less wires to deal with too.

jrchevy87 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 if you go with two amps just make sure to match your gains with a voltmeter Quote Jeep Wrangler TJ Hardtop Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdw46 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Go with 1 amp itll save the headache Quote 2000 stratus10 SunDown E-10s Singer 250amp Alt Xs Power D975Concept c2400All 0 gauge wire10 6 1/2's in Rear Doors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrys95civic Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 buy my 1200.1 hahaha, I'd go with 1 amp. 1 amp = 1/2 the chance of issues and I'd get sick of not having a bass knob, sometimes I like a little beat so only having the ability to turn it on and off would not work for me.
