crw092782 Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 I am planning my build and I am to the amp selection. I am going to be running 4 Audioqubed HDC3.0 15's in a wall. My question is: What are the advantages/disadvantages of running 4 1500W amps vs. 2 3000W amps vs. a single 6000W amp. Side question: What amp(s) would you suggest?

alaskanzx5 Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 It would depend your goal and what amps really. I mean if you can say use 2 3000watt amps at 2ohms then it could be more efficient then one 6k at 1ohm. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

crw092782 Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 The subs are going to be D2 so I was pricing out 4 1500W amps and just have each sub to an amp. Then I started to wonder if it would make more sense to do it differently. 2004 Pontiac Vibe Build Sony MEX-N5000BT JBL P660C x 2 Sundown Audio Zv4 18 Crescendo BC2000D Crescendo S800/4 Execution Audio 0 AWG Wire Sky High Car Audio RCA's Toolmaker Terminals XS Power D1200 DC Power 240HP Alternator Viper 5706 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguels Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 would be cheaper to get one big amp and also easier to tune.. there will be no gain matching and crossover matching my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crw092782 Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Miguels, Thanks. I never thought about matching the gains and how much of a pain that would be. I guess I will be looking for a 6k@1ohm amp.

alaskanzx5 Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Could do a 2 2500bdcp bdsync. Would be spendy though. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

alaskanzx5 Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Look for an amp that will do rated plus then look at average power draw for the amps. I would pick one that has a lower amperage draw and is known for putting out power. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

ChevyBoy95 Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 truthfully.... you will want around 8k for those.... used them, and even in 10 cubes for 2 15s on a 5k, the suspension could keep up, thermally not so much. But i think you will want the extra 2k for the times you need it.

jarrius Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 IMO since they are under rated and sq even says put there 2200 on them I would look at the ct sounds 7k or a 8k amp 2012 Chevy sonic1xSQ HDC3 12 D2RF R1200d 140 square foot of Q-Mat(soon to be installed) 140.2Db sealed on the dash with TL 142 DB sealed on the dash with another meter (was dead on with the TL at a show i was at) 141 on music. strangeduck,on 02 Jan 2014 - 01:39 AM, said: when my car spins out i just put the car in neutral, turn in the direction i want to go and pucker my asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
