anr Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Looking into ordering an amp within the next couple of days and cant decide on what amp. I am on a limited budget of $230. I recently acquired two Alpine type R 12's dvc 2 ohm and they're wired at 2 ohm final impedance. I was using an Alpine MRX-M110 but it is my sisters and she wants it back because shes about to put her own system in her vehicle so now i am amp-less lol. The model of the subs are SWR-1223D. In a ported box tuned to 42 hz i believe but soon i am planning to build my own with a lower tuning and more airspace, from the design and plans that Joe X helped me with a couple days ago. So any recommendations or opinions will be appreciated! thanks. 1995 Blazer 4x4 4 door Hu-Pioneer DEH-1200MP Subs- (2) Alpine Type R 12s SWR-1223d Sub Amp-Rockford Fosgate T1000-1bd CP Mids- Kicker DS60 coax Mids amp-Rockford Fosgate Punch 250 A2 Wiring-2 awg OFC power&grounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octavio Palencia Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_44494_Hifonics-ZRX1200.2.htmlHifonics are cheaper CEA compliant amplifiers. Look into this one, it should work okay at that impedance and it matches the power of the Type Rs. I had a HFi2000d, and it wasn't a bad amp for the price. This is my opinion, there's a lot more amps out there, but at a higher price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakin Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 You pay for quality. So in my opinion I would save up for something worthwhile. I would say a 1.2k or 1.5k from any of the partners here. Such as Skar, Sundown, Rockford, DD, DC, AQ, Crescendo, and I'm sure there are more.

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

gally Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 or he can buy used usually good used stuff...with that kind of money he could get a decent 2K watt amp 2010 Chevrolet Cruze Radio --- pioneer mvh-200vbt Front/back --- alpine type s 6.5" Sub Control --- Pac LC1 Sub Amp --- GZPA 1.4K Sub --- GZNW 15XSPL D1 Battery - GZBP 12.2500X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anr Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Thanks for your input guys. I bought an amp from a guy a few days ago actually. It a Rockford Fosgate Power T1000-1bdCP. Only 5 months old and i only paid $160 for it. Here is a pic of it installed in my blazer, and a pic of my subs. I have 2 guage copper welding lead and had to cut off just a few strands and barely got the power and ground to fit in the amp, really took some work but it fit in finally. let me know what you guys think of my setup. Subs are DVC 2 ohm wired to final load of 2 ohms. Enclosure is 1.0 cu ft per chamber after displacement and is tuned to 38 hz. Sounds great. 1995 Blazer 4x4 4 door Hu-Pioneer DEH-1200MP Subs- (2) Alpine Type R 12s SWR-1223d Sub Amp-Rockford Fosgate T1000-1bd CP Mids- Kicker DS60 coax Mids amp-Rockford Fosgate Punch 250 A2 Wiring-2 awg OFC power&grounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
