Trayten Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 Looking for an amp that can push my DC xl 15, that won't break my bank Thinking of selling my 2 soundqubed 1200 watt amps and puttting the money plus maybe a little towards a bigger amp, but I can't find anything that is 2-3kw that I know is a good brand that isn't over 7 or 800 dollars lol. I don't want to necissarily cheap out on an amp for my sub, but I want something that I can afford and still get the job done with clean power. Maybe I'm asking for too much, but just hoping some people have some suggestions Vehicle: 1988 Cadillac Brougham Pioneer DEH-X9500BHS Head Unit Custom box built by me (designed by forum member g2shuck) (1) DC XL 15 (2) SQ q1-1200d (2) Crescendo PWX-6's.

Something is wrong with one of my SQ amps I think, not sure what atm, but I don't want to have to keep hassling with them. I didn't hook them up myself so I don't know what the problem may be, and I think they're only at .5 ohm each. They keep going on protection mode and I'm sick of the problems haha.. I have a friend that might help me figure out what's wrong with them soon, hopefully it's something small that we can fix and I can continue using them. But I regret not going with one big amp at first anyway.

Trayten Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Posted January 23, 2014 So then don't wire an amp to .5 that's only stable to 1 ohm Sir do you mind if I ask if you can read? Clearly my comment says I didn't hook them up myself, nor do I know how to, so thanks for your help but it wasn't needed. I'm aware they're only stable at 1 ohm, and if I'd done it myself and knew what I was doing, I wouldn't have done that, but I'm guessing it's wired to .5. On a positive note, any opinions on a Crescendo BC2000D? Thinking of getting one of those, anyone have any first hand experiences etc? Thanks.

Batteries wire alt? all stock electrical atm cause i really don't have the money to buy any extras atm.. I suppose if I were to get that BC2000D I'd have to upgrade my electrical. Can be done eventually but I just need to get a little more money first.

Man I'm glad I didn't lock this I get to witness two retards holding hands telling each other that it'll be ok because they are awesome.
