DD 1508s, what power?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have 2 DD 1508's and am struggling to get these to sound how I want them, and I know my problem is in the amp. They are DVC 4 ohm with the carbon fiber caps. What would be suffice power to run these? and by what brand?

a quality brand like AQ, DC, DD, sundown, SKAR, etc. alpine or rockford even. personally id run 2k to them as long as its clean unclipped power. (1k per woofer) but youd be fine with a 1500 watt amp.

i have never owned a hi fonics. why would you buy DD subs but only go half azz on the amp? if you really want to go hifi i think the brz line is what you want. dont quote me on that. why not just run an AQ1200D or something. they arent too expensive. or find something used on here. you have DD subs so i would think youd be able to spend on an amp as well. but let someone else chime in on the hi fi amp. i dont know too much about them

I really would like to do 1000 rms to each if thats what they can take, no point in spending alot of money and not reach the limits, might as well go a little extra and get it done right ya?

what about hifonics? and im hoping i can find one around $200

I've got the hifonics hfi2000d and I personally like it a lot. It was around $230 shipped from amazon(prices raised since then). It says it does 2000 watts@1ohm, 1300@2ohms. I'm not sure how true these ratings are but regardless the amp gets my sub loud. It never over heats, has plenty of vents, but the thing that throws me off about it is that it has no external fuses and I don't know if it has an internal fuse or if anyone even does that. The Hfi is a nice amp for the money but if your willing to shell out the money there are much nicer brands.
