Alright so I'm running 1 Sundown Audio x12 rev 1 - d4 at 2ohms on a - hifonics Brx 2416.1d

I just got my 2nd sub not long ago, and I plan on upgrading my amp, before I start to run both them. Which amp would you guys recommend? My current electrical is stock alt.... 2 xs power d3400 batteries and big 3 and 0 gauge wiring all around. I plan to run the subs at 1 ohm. Would I be better off buying another brx 2416.1d and strapping them or get a different amp that is bigger? Budget of roughly 800 dollars. Thanks in advance.

I realize I spelt

recommendations wrong in my post title.. just a fyi lol

You may perhaps want a HO alternator first...

Ya, I was looking for one not to long ago couldn't find any that would fit a 2000 buick regal that was under 600 bucks .... why I still am running a stock one.

Why not just stay Sundown Audio all around and get the SCV 2000D?

Ampre audio seems to be putting out some very nice quality amps at the moment, i'd also look into their 2K amp:

A few more options are the DC Audio 2K, Crescendo Audio BC2000, SoundQubed 2200.2D, Sound Magus VS3500.

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Rms on these subs is 1250 each, was thinking might be best running a 3k-3.5k watt amp ( and set the gains to match rms of the subs) so im not peaking a 2k amp?

Guess the question comes also, am I better off running 1 amp that is higher watts 3-3.5k or 2 that are 2kish?
