PURP's 02 Denali Posted April 23, 2012 Report Posted April 23, 2012 I'm going to buy a skar audio vvx-15 shortly but I'm wondering what I should use for an amp, and I was thinking about getting a 1000w amp but I'm not sure now because I see a lot of people on here giving there subs the rms rating so I dont know what size amp to get now I always thought you get the most out of your subs by giving them the peak but I must have been misinformed, if somebody could help me that would be great. i know the vvx15 are 600 rms, or at least I'm pretty sure they are, so what would be the best size amp to give them? and also I'm looking for a good cheaper amp seeing that I will be upgrading soon aswell, to either 4 vvx15 or at least 2 of the new AA SMD 18s when they come out. so all I need for now is a good cheap amp that will make this 1 15 slap. thanks for any help/advice/input I know this is the amps section but if somebody could explain to me the rms and peak on a sub that would be great too otherwise I will post a new post in the subs section thanks

PURP's 02 Denali Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Posted April 23, 2012 I should probably also mention that I will be wiring up the sub to 1 ohm if that makes a difference.

andrew018018 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Posted April 23, 2012 Don't bother with peak power, it is the power you sub will see for a fraction of a second... the number you should look at is the RMS rating which is the "average power" (actually DC equivalent) I would get the brz1200, the don't get much cheaper than this for rated power http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_23548_Hifonics-Brutus-BRZ1200.1D.html?SearchClickout%5Bquery_id%5D=8936393&SearchClickout%5BIgnore%5D=1 My System (in VW golf/Rabbit mk2) (1) Hifonics Brutus 2010D @ 1ohm (1) Hifonics Zeus 440 Mids'nhighs (3) JBL W10Gti subs (2) JBL GTO838 (2) JBL GTO936 (1) run of 3/0 Gauge ofc (1) Ac Delco120ah 850cca battery (front) (1) Ac Delco 45ah 330cca battery (rear) (1)Sony Gt630ui hu 34hz tuning

PURP's 02 Denali Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Posted April 23, 2012 thanks guys and I will most likley buy a used amp but I was just wondering on peoples preferences and maybe seeing if people had a more common opinion on any certain amp not to turn this into a vs, but if there was an amp more people liked in the catagory of what I'm looking for so the more opinions/preferences the better
