Best amp to run with 2 12s


Recommended Posts

Whats up im sure this has been answered before but im thinking of buying 2 sundown sa 12 d4 im getting rid of my memphis m5s for these i want better bass so i recently had a custom box made 4.50 cu ft tuned at 34 htz i see no sense in haveing another box made at 1.75 cu ft per sub so what i want to know is whats the best amp or what are my options to get optimum potential out of them sa 12s with this box note that the subs are going in the trunk of a lincoln town car thanks. note im really not trying to spend 500 on an amp at max maybe 300 350 or lower which is always better trying to run them at 1 ohm note that i dont have a high output alternator yet but will get one soon and im also running a duralast goold battery i already have the big 3 done and 0 gauge running to what ever amp im going to upgrade to right now i have a memphis audio mc1.1100

the brand is up to you, but look for something that does a good 1500rms @ 1ohm. Im not mentioning brands because im not in the mood to start a pissing match

Welcome to SMD

When you buy the SA Subs ... get SA's recommendations on what amp(s) to run on them ...

I'm sure they are going to say one of their SA amps ...

i have heard great things about the sk1500.1 someone claimed 1100@ rms 3 ohms, 2ohms was box rise

but that isn't the only great amp out there i just put it in cause it is within your price range havn't looked around too much lately

edit

btw make sure you keep the power clean no distortion and no clipping when you are over powering subs otherwise a sub that can be overpowered can be killed
