looking into amp choices


Recommended Posts

Posted

ok guys and gals i am getting ready to go out of my little realm with brands. i have never used anything but memphis, boston, jl, focal, and kenwood amps, subs, and speakers. so i am somewhat starting a new build i say somewhat starting because im gonna do a small build in my truck and later on do the big build in my jeep. so here is what i am looking at i have been interested in the orion hcca 12 and 15 for quite some time now and am going to try one out in my truck havent decided what size yet though. when i see that i like this sub i am going to buy another matching one and put them both in my jeep. so i am looking into buying only one amp. i have always used memphis amps but the biggest one they offer is like 2400 at one ohm. this would work in my tuck for now but i would need to have two of them in my jeep and at the price they are im really not that cracked up on them so can anyone recommend a good amp with clean power and good power and good sq that would support this. like i said i have never used anything else but what i listed above so im a little dumb when it comes to other brands and i need your guys advice on something decent. from what i figured i would need something with at least 2000 watts rms at one ohm and 4000 watts rms at two ohm since i will be looking at a dual 2 ohm sub. i have been looking at a hifonics atlas witch meets all my requirements. is this a good amp and do yall have any other recommendations i am oppen to any advice from wire to sub i am all ears want to have an open mind to new brands to help people out in the future thanks in advance

the sub i am looking at only comes in dual 2 or dual 4 and my original plan was to just put one in my daily driver for now and later if i like it buy a second sub and put it in my jeep with the one in my daily driver. i didnt wanna buy 2 amps i was just looking to buy one for now and have something that i could run just the one off of and then also run the two in my jeep later on with but i re figured and saw the numbers i see what you mean. so im thinking my idea is out the window because i dont know of any subs like that that are dual 1 ohm and i dont know of an amp that could run at .5 ohms when i have the single in my truck

i guess what i could do is get the atlas and do the orion sub and then later i could do a couple of custom fi bls or sp4s that might be an option to but is this a good amp to start off with? or do i need to shit out a couple grand for an amp?
