My friend has 2 sa8v2d2 sundowns and they are rated at 2 ohms dvc. He wants to run 1000 rms per sub. What amps should he use and how should he do it? He is trying to find good deals on amps as well.

That's a lot of power to run to those subs. I'd recommend the AQ2200D. It's on sale right now and it's pretty damn cheap, but he won't be getting 1K watts each sub since the final load will be 2ohm.

He have to run the sub´s on 2 Ohm´s or 0.5 Ohm´s. Have a look on the sale from Soundqubed (AQ) for a AQ 3500 http://www.soundqubed.com/Mono-Block_c_29.html

for running on 2 Ohm, or for 0.5 Ohm a Lanzar Opti http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-LANZAR-OPTI2000D-2000W-CLASS-D-MONO-CAR-AUDIO-AMPLIFIER-AMP-2000-WATT-/271111376654?pt=Car_Amplifiers&hash=item3f1f7f4f0e.

Alright thanks josh :)

To anyone who sees those are my subs he posted about.

The deal is that I had one if them running off of a kicker 500.1 amp at 1 ohms running 500 watts rms and one of the terminals melted and also it was not close to as loud as I though it would be, I don't think 2 of them at 1000 watts rms would be either, I went into a sub store and told the owner and he said the terminal melting is no big deal to just attach my speaker wires directly to the voice coil leads and to run them at 1000 watts rms a piece

Your thoughts? Very open to any suggestions

No problem mayne! We need to build up a box design some time.

I have a soundqubed (AQ) 1200d and I love it, so my vote would be for the AQ 2200d. Just read all of the great reviews about it on soundqubed's website.
