nepjr32 Posted December 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 budget i was looking at around $600-700. electrical system isn't a problem. i was looking at the crescendo 3500. would that be good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zydrix Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 i like crescendo personally, an i think it will do great! or u could also look around places and try an find as used crescendo 5500. but i just also thought u could do what im going to be doing for my level 4 15's with XL upgrade. im going to be running a crescendo bc2000 @0.5ohm to each 1 of my subs. that would give u more power. but u would really have to have the electrical to back that up.

CJ18 Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 1 5k or a pair of 2ks. With your budget you need to be looking for a used amplifier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14dbass Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 I have ran m2 xl's on 1 3.5k for a pair 1 5k for the pair and 1 3.5k per and a 5k per. I would say nothing less 1 5k for the pair of xl's. They really came alive with the 5k vs the 3.5k on the pair. It was like night and day how much better they were with the 5k. 5k>3.5k for a pair of m2xl's IMHO I would save up and get used dc5k Quote Suburban Build Log "So much money and time spent making copper winding move up and down a magnetic pole" DC Audio Eclipse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a great match for them, just my box was a little to big so I eventually ripped the cone off of the triple joint. Go below the recommend box specs with that power.
