bmwking Posted October 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 I would honestly do some hunting around and find a nice quality used amp. You could snag a decent 2k - 2.5k with $350 - $400 any suggestions on amps to look for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigManAC Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Theres a thread on here somewhere where someone did the amp test. It preformed as well but Im not sure about reliability due to I have never owned one. I did own a SQ2200 and loved it. 2001 Saturn L200-Sony MEX-BT4100PFRONT STAGE:- (4) Crescendo PWX 6- Cadence XA250.2SUB STAGE:-Fi Audio BL 15 (Sealed Off)-Crescendo BC2kELECTRICAL:- Singer 240A alt - XS Power D3400- SkyHigh OFC power/speaker wire- Big 3 with SkyHigh 0gaugeBuild Log: Click HereScores: 146.5db @ 29hz Outlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxsonnyxz Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Caaaan you fit a ported box? That'll gain you a significant amount of loud if it fits. Will be a tight squeeze i guess, but that space looks decent. I would do box first then add power as needed STD Passat Build 151db+STD Omega BuildMitsubishi Colt Build - Alpine|Focal|PeerlessHome Stereo BuildSmall Tang Band build - 4" fullrangeBox for 4 8"My Saab 9000 Build- I'd be very happy if you cared to check out the logs and give feedback!

I would avoid anything other than the BE and BRZ amps and these are getting really hard to find http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/p_23924_Hifonics_BRZ21001D.aspxhttp://www.ebay.com/itm/HIFONICS-BE2100-1D-2YR-WARANTY-MONO-BLOCK-2100W-RMS-BRUTUS-CLASS-D-AMPLIFIER-/171850712857?hash=item280319c719 I bought the BE1700.1D because of steves amp test and it did rated... so you should be able to put down more than 500rms to each sub using the BE2100.1D little under rated so dont clip the shit out of it... lol... the BE2400.1D would be a better choice but I cant find one.... everyone bought them all already.... I looked back to see if shipping was going to kill your budget but I see you are also in MI so you are good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be a tight squeeze i guess, but that space looks decent. I would do box first then add power as needed yeah that's an option, though there really isnt much more space as theres a cargo cover that snaps in the two black things on either side, the subs are a couple inches below that when in place. and i'd like to retain that so as to not advertise in parking lots. plus i want to replace the amps because one goes into thermal after only a few minutes of high volume (i have 5 fans in that space to compensate). the bd1000 never once went into thermal in the same space so i think its just that amp being old.

bmwking Posted October 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 the brz and be amps have really close looking internals to the sound qubed amps both of those sound like great options, but sadly i didnt find either for under $400 in a quick search.
