Best amp for this setup?

Recommended Posts

So im going to put 1 DAD BD-12 in my tahoe. (this is for a beginner setup). My electrical and such will all be upgraded, 0 gauge wiring and all. I was wondering what the best amp for this would be. The Bd-12 sub is rated at 1000 watts rms, 2000 peak. So im kind of in an odd position. I could go with two 1000 watt amps or one 2500 watt amp, but i don't want to blow the sub. Please help :)

go with an amp that puts out rated 1k watts you might get a bit more or less power but you won't blow your sub as opposed to if you feed it 2500 watts

ok. i mean this is a temporary setup until later on, when i can spend a larger amount on subs. And I'm not even sure if this is going to be my final setup. I'm still working things out.

I would go with a 2k amp at least. It's not that much power. With the motor I saw it has, your sub can easily handle that power. You need to be careful on your currents though.
