K_SubieXT Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 Does anyone know of an amp that will be stable and do only around 1200 rms at a half ohm on decent electrical? A friend of mine has 2 d2 subs but is on a budget so I thought I would see if there was an amp he could get to run half ohm instead of spending more on an amp that does 1200 at 2 My 95 Jeep Cherokee Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/157643-1995-jeep-cherokee-build-sub-is-in-and-playing/
SnowDrifter Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 Well. You'd spend about the same to get a nice enough amp that will handle .5 as you will finding a small large enough one that will do the power at 2.

Sosebee Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 I have an alpine pdx-m12 that is rated at 1200 watts at 4 ohm. I run a SA-15 D2 on it just fine all day. have it wired to 2 ohm. Have had the amp for over a year and never had a problem with it. 2005 Chevy Colorado Pioneer avic-x930bt Alpine pdx-m12 Alpine pdx-f4 Focal is 165 Focal ic 165 Sundown SA 15 D4 Kicker 0/1 OFC power wire Kicker 12 awg speaker wire XS Power D2400 DC Power 270 H/O Alt

Maybe even less if possible My 95 Jeep Cherokee Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/157643-1995-jeep-cherokee-build-sub-is-in-and-playing/
Nikitaaa Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 Find a used cresendo bc2000 and set gains low. It's better to run a bigger amp at a lower gain then clipping a smaller amp. 2007 M/T Honda Civic Coupe EX (4) Sundown Audio X-8's (2) Ampere Audio 3800.1's (3) Stinger SPV-44 Batteries (1) Mechman 240 3:1 Ratio 4th order sealed from the trunkTEAM NWSPLBest termlab scores to date in Honda trunk:151.7db legal (official) IASCA trunk 3 classBest termlab scores to date in my walled Subie:152.9db legal (unofficial) IASCA advanced 2 class155db outlaw
K_SubieXT Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Posted December 3, 2012 Would maybe a solid 1k amp do roughly 1200 at .5? My 95 Jeep Cherokee Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/157643-1995-jeep-cherokee-build-sub-is-in-and-playing/

Sosebee Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 just save up for a decent amp, not worth putting the strain on the electrical and the amp to run at .5. 2005 Chevy Colorado Pioneer avic-x930bt Alpine pdx-m12 Alpine pdx-f4 Focal is 165 Focal ic 165 Sundown SA 15 D4 Kicker 0/1 OFC power wire Kicker 12 awg speaker wire XS Power D2400 DC Power 270 H/O Alt
iKidwell Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 if he's got the electrical and wants to stay cheap i'd do one of the hifonics brutus amps, not sure on the smallest one they make anymore, but i had the bxi1610 and ran it .5 daily for about 4 months and never had any issues with it at all. You could probably use an audiopipe as well c'mon now, if i was shooting an 8 year old, it wouldnt be MY 8 year old. i recently got a Pyle PL1590BL and i was building an enclosure for it tuned to 25 hz. i didn't have any tools to cut a circle so i hit it with a big hammer. 2003 Infiniti G35 Sport Sedan Build in Progress
