Amp suggestions

[jarrius]

Do a rf prime 1200d mine for the 2 if you want to run 2krms make sure you have the electrical to back it up. Some people run 2k on stock but I would not.

[Watch the bass]

First 2 dual 2 subs can be wired http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woofer_wizard.asp?submitted=true&woofer_qty=2&woofer_imp=3 so you need a

0.5 Ohm stable amp or a a amp that does 2 K on 2 Ohm.

The cheapest offer i kow is a manufacture refurbished Lanzar Opti http://www.ebay.com/itm/OPTI2000D-Optidrive-2000W-Half-Ohm-Stable-Mono-Block-Digital-Competition-Amp-/400543382759?pt=Car_Amplifiers&hash=item5d423efce7 in new their 50 higher and up.

For true 2 K watt´s on 2 Ohm you need a 3.5 K watt amp like a DC 3.5 K or SQ 3.5 K there going use for 500 and up.

The linked Autotek amp does arround 1400 watt´s @ 1 Ohm (140 amp fusing), or 800 on 2 Ohm.

The other question,can your electrical system backup true 2 K watt´s?

That would only put out 500 watts im looking to put out the full 1000

Dare I say that it is not always about shoving every last acceptable watt to attain the sound a given driver will output? Geesh ... !

Do you have at least 2 gauge power wire and the big 3?

It doesn't matter what you spend on an amp that will produce 2000 watts, if you don't send it the voltage and current it needs to do so, it will just roast the coils in those subs.

You'd be far better off with a 1000 watt amp on good electrical than a 2000 watt amp on mediocre electrical.

Whats the big 3

[bbeljefe]

It's the same gauge wire you use for the amplifier, connected from alternator positive post to battery (1), alternator case (or engine) to chassis (2) and battery ground to chassis (3).

The alternator is the main source of power when the vehicle is running, not the battery(s). Thus, the amplifier needs to have a direct power line from the alternator, not just the battery(s).

Most people who have installed the big three and who have accessories like power windows even notice a remarkable improvement in how well those operate.

It's If you're at or near a 1000 watts of total power, it's really important that the electrical system be adequate.

If you set your gains "right", you will only be seeing max output at whatever HU volume level you had while you set your gains. So even if you got a 2000 watt rms amplifier and you set the gains with your HU at its "max" nonclipping volume, you'll only be seeing those 2000 watts rms while your HU is "maxxed".

any NEW decent 2000 watt amp is going to be ~$500. if you run 0.5 your going to need a quality amp. and at 2 ohm your going to spend more $$ to get 2000, though it'll be safer for all the components than running 0.5 ohms.

if you had bought 2 DVC 4ohm subs you could have wired it down to 1 ohm

Idd rec the sq2200

But if its out it out

If your happy with 5-700 a piece

The sq-1200 will to 12-1400@14v

And is $269

http://www.soundqubed.com/Q1-1200D-Amplifier_p_30.html

Under $200

The onx range arnt a bad amp for the money

Another cheap amp with a little quality

Not sure how much you want to spend

But you'll need 2-250 per 1000rms to get something decent

So for a good 2k amp you really need $450

[Guest]

you want an actual 2000 watts?

SQ 2200.

[BigManAC]

I second the RF Prime 1200D. Im not sure if the Type R's will do or even sound good on 1k a piece. Also what john rec would do just perfect.
