I have 2 sa15s in a 98 jimmy. big 3 upgrade 2 batteries electrical system is great. i'm about to do a new amp set up for the subs. I have 2 options that i can get at a very very good price. Should I do 2 kicke zx 1000.1's or should I do 1 Sundown SAZ2500d? I do know they are be over powered but everything will be clean power with out clipping

The only way to delete your SMD account is for you crawl to steve meades door step on your knees and pleade for his forgiveness and acceptance to be released...He will either grant your wishes.....or choke you with a large piece of 0 gauge and electrocute you by hooking up a solid gold DC 12k at 0.000001 ohm and 10000 volts to your eye sockets and blow your head apart

You guys act like you have never clogged a toilet and ran around the bathroom frantically hoping it don't overflow.

Sundown FTW ! I need the same saz 2500 for my btl !

But Kicker amps are very good ones too. Like they said, it will be much easier to run a single amp.

If I understand correctly you would use each Kicker at 2 Ohms and the Sundown at 1 ? I hope so.

I have recently changed from 2 amps too 1... also i had 2 kicker zx1000.1 and went to a single aq2200. It was too difficult to gain match for the fact that the kickers gain does not increase in small increments. You adjust the gain and it was a big difference. I tuned both kickers with dd-1 and looked at voltage with a dmm and seen that one amp was at 48 ac volts and the other was at 52 ac volts. So when i took it down a notch on the one thats was 52 it dropped it to 46. I was never going to really get an exact match on the volts with a dmm. I however did use the bass boost to accommodate the ac volts and go them near spot on but i wasn't sure using bass boost was the right way to do it so i ened up selling them and buying a single amp.
