CWorthington Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 I have a vcw122 rated for 850 to 1000rms. I'd like to run it at 1000rms @1ohm (apx .87ohm measured) I run at 13.3v not like most amps that are rated at 14.4v. Is it ideal to get an amp slightly over this 1000rms so it doesn't have to work so hard all the time to supply it? Note: My Brutus brz1200.1d blew up.(Maybe because quality? Another topic for another time.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another topic for another time.) If it was me I would get a genuine 1000-1200 rms watt amp as to fully get that sub moving when need be. I would recommend the Twisted Sounds 1k as it does well over rated power and is pretty cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLHgn Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 I don't know what you budget is but here is an amp that is $500. 1200w @ 1ohm 12v & 1800w @ 1ohm 14.4v. Probably does more than that but that's what it's rated for. Great amps from a great company. http://b2audiostore.net/collections/amplifier/products/mono-v4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWorthington Posted November 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Those are both pretty nice looking amps. I was looking into Incriminator Audios IA10.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWorthington Posted November 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 All three of these look so promising. I'm not sure which I want to I with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLHgn Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Things to consider (not a comprehensive list, just things that come to mind) 1.)Budget 2.)Headroom (more power than you need means you wont be pushing the amp to it's limits) 3) Efficiency 4.) Features on the amp that you want 5.) Quality 6.) Footprint (how big is the amp and how much space do you have for it) Nothing else comes to mind at the moment but those are some things you could consider in order to help you decide.

CWorthington Posted November 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Budget def comes to mind but that usually goes right along with quality. They all seem to be very efficient, maybe the Mono more than the others. But having more power to drive the sub is something I've been considering, to keep the amp working not as hard. I liked how the Mono rated at different voltages. I guess it'll come down to just how much I'm willing to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaskanzx5 Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Rockford prime 1200.
