timewarp Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 When my girlfriend past away a couple months ago, i was kinda lost but now have found myself wanting to do some upgrades . I picked up a pair of sq HDC3 1Q2'S dual 2 ohm version and i plan on upgrading my current amp . right now i have 2 DD 1512's on a sundown 1500 at 1 ohm . i do have some ele upgrades already - d3400 under the hood and 1 in back , 200 amp alt. skyhigh 1/0 wire and big 3 wire with 1/0 skyhigh also . I know the 1500 amp is not enough so i can do either another 1500 and strap them or sell the 1500 and do a bigger amp . with the subs ill hav e to run either .5 ohm or 2 ohm . iam guessing with rise i'd be ok running a single amp at .5 ohms . i can do up to 5.5 cf box after port . with my electrical and these subs what amps will be good for me ? if i sell the 1500 id have about 600.00 to 650.00 to spend on the amp.
timewarp Posted October 6, 2015 Author Report Posted October 6, 2015 Guess ill need to get different subs or upgrade ele. stuff more before i can goto a bigger amp.
RainStryke Posted October 8, 2015 Report Posted October 8, 2015 That Sundown amp should be strappable... I'd just buy a second one, strap your amps and wire to 2 OHM... That would give you 3K+ @ 2OHM.

That would give you 3K+ @ 2OHM. It can be strapped . Iam concerned with my electrical on that aswell . When i wire them i get .7 ohm at speaker leads . Iam guessing my options are : 1) Use the 1500d amp at .7 load ( guessing with rise it might be ok ) 2) i could get another agm for under the hood and run my two 2 xs 3400's in the back 3) i could get something like a ampere audio 3800 or similar and do # 2 and run it at 2 ohms 4) sell or trade the 2 hdc3's and get subs with 1 ohm load ( or have them reconed , guessing that would get expensive with shipping aswell ) 5) run one of the hdc3 on the sundown till i fiqure it out
