Jon Tyler Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm not even sure if this is going to be my final setup. I'm still working things out.

206xtreme Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 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. 2007 Peugeot 206 1400cc 75hpHead Unit: Pioneer DEH 80PRSSpeakers+Tweeters Amplifier: 2 x Hifonics Colossus Generation X3Bass Amplifiers: 2 x Taramps HD8000 (quadraple copper terminals by Toolmaker Metalworkz)Tweeters: 6 x Digital Designs VO-B2 + 4 x Beyma CP21/fMidrange Speakers: 20 x 8" Beyma 8M100 NdSubwoofers: 2 x Digital Designs 9918 walledAlternators: Mechman 320A universal + Bosch 260ARCA: Dragster OFC twisted triple shieldedWires: 0gauge big3 upgrade with SP audio, Currents with SP audio, Grounds with Rockford FosgateBatteries: 980AH of power with copper rails.Alarm: Python 5303P So far 161.4 dB with a Cadence 9kW @ Salamina 2014.
