Sundown Audio

CAB 1600 enough for single X v2?


Recommended Posts

I just know how Sundown is with the RMS rateings... wanna give it all she can take without getting Hot.

Want her to last long too... was thinking 2000w Brutus amp but thought it might be too much...

 

Opinions???

A 2000 watt amp definitely won't be too much for a Xv2, as long as your gains are set right.  You could put it on a 3k amp as long as you were paying attention.

IMHO, more is better. If your going to push it to its max you'll most likely end up with a hotter coil by feeding it 1600-2000 watts at clipping than you would with 2500-3000 of clean power. Either way orient the subs so that it is possible to smell the coils.

2 Sundown Z18v4 walled on 2 Lanzar Opti 7k's strapped at 1/2ohm = each amp wired to 1/4ohm. Havent checked impedence rise so not sure what they are actually seeing. 6 group 31AGM's.

2-Eclipse 34230's each one running 2 Eminence 6.5" Beta 6A. These are beastly mids rated at 350w program power. I was skeptical but the eclipse amps are 370w x 2 and when there was 4 mids on 1 amp I could push it into thermal protect within a song so added the 2nd amp. 

Eclipse 4212 running 4 CT sounds Meso tweeters. and 2 DLS ultimate tweeters up high to raise the soundstage.

 

96' Ford F350 4wd 4d long bed 7.3 diesel with 91k miles. Will be the sound quality rig if I can ever find the time.
