pioneerforlife Posted April 3, 2013 Report Posted April 3, 2013 so i plan on doing a big build this summer. i am doing a wall of three soundstream splx-152hf subs. i currently have one splx running off of a tarantula tx1.2000d amp. i was wondering, should i get two more of the tx1.2000d amps and run each sub on its own amp, or buy a tarantula tx1.2600d and run it at .5 ohms so two subs are on the 2600, and one sub is on the 2000. it would just save me a bit of money. i know you should't run subs in the same box on unlike amps but since they are both SS tarantula amps i was wondering if it would work well. if not i can always just buy 2 more tx1.2000d's. thanks 2007 Ford Focus SES Hatchback Pioneer HU 4 Digital Designs 9515i's in a B pillar. 2 Soundstream XXX 15K's (running at 16 volts) Soundstream Mids/Highs in custom door panels (getting rebuilt soon) Soundstream TA2.160 and TA2.400 Sky High and KNU wiring 3 Banks of Maxwell caps Winston Lithium (not a fan) Bump4Life 250 Amp Alt. aka USAlternators Soundstream Focus and Avenger Build Log Instagram @p4linnovation YouTube: Team Blowin Loud
genius764 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Posted April 3, 2013 If you like the sound you are getting from your current setup, then just get two more amps. Personally I would look into getting one monster amp for the three subs. You could always sell the one you have now or just hang in to it for later.
pioneerforlife Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Posted April 3, 2013 ya i was looking at the soundstream X3 amps (wanna keep it all soundstream) but i would rather get 2 more of the tarantula amps. i dont really care for the X3 amps too much and i don't wanna spend $2500 on a XXX amp even though i would love to have one.

audioque Sam Posted April 3, 2013 Report Posted April 3, 2013 If you do go with multiple/different amps keep the woofers separated within the box. otherwise i'd recommend getting one monster amp like Genius commented. Feel free to look into a different brand of amplifiers. Soundstream may not have the most reasonable amplifier you're needing.
john253a Posted April 3, 2013 Report Posted April 3, 2013 3 sub and 3 amps is going to be so hard to tune and get equale power to each 2 amp and 3 subs would work if you could strap them 2 t2500 straped @ 6ohm would give you close to 4k
Watch the bass Posted April 3, 2013 Report Posted April 3, 2013 On your side i would sell the 2000, and buy 2 of those, they have a master slave function, much easier than to gainmatch 3 amps. http://www.woofersetc.com/p-11438-ta13000d-soundstream-monoblock-3000w-tarantula-amplifier.aspx "in the abundance of water, the fool is thirsty" Bob Marley
