ehall8702 Posted February 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Same with me, working 16+ a day and no time for anything, especially since it's winter and dark here at 5. Hell I had to pull my dash out about a month ago and fix flaps in heater box and it's been hanging there for that long with only 2 screws and hand tight nuts holding the steering column in lol. I'm glad I only have to drive 2 miles each way to work tho. I go in my office at home and see my tnt15s just staring at me begging to get played every night. I need a clone or 3 of me I think. 2009 Silverado 1500, 7.5" lift, 37x12.50r17s, Built Gen 4 5.3L ( 4.8l flat pistons, decked 243s, SS2 Cam, Pac 1218 springs, ported intake, 120mm TB, Long tubes, 3" duals HP tuner software tuned by me), 4l80e swapped and 4.56 gears. All done by me. stereo is Pioneer avh 600ex, all stinger rca, jp23 v1.5, skar rp150.4, and hertz hpd4. 2 SHCA 6.5 8ohm, 1 SHCA 3.5", and 1 DS18 tw120pro in each door.

bmwking Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 @ehall8702 keep an eye on the used market, specifically amp and manufacturer (american bass, synergy, etc.) buy/sell groups on facebook, i landed my wfo45.1 for $500 about 3 years ago (which was a song at the time), i'm sure you could find a decent amp for your budget, just ignore all the sundown and dc fanboys peddling their high dollar 2k amps.

ehall8702 Posted February 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Man I'm seriously eyeballing the taramps md5000.1 2ohm ....I'd be at 2.67 ohms but watched a Dyno of the 1ohm version clearing 5k certified so I'd imagine the 2 ohm version would donuts rated and it's 500 over rated rms of my subs anyways. Talked to my buddy think he's gonna pony up the cash for the taramps for me and I'll toss in a couple batteries along with my ppi and shit for his install. $390 isn't too bad for that md5000 either, can't find another ppi like mine anywhere, everyone is out of stock and the o ly place I found with one wants 499 for it, I stole it at $250 lol 2009 Silverado 1500, 7.5" lift, 37x12.50r17s, Built Gen 4 5.3L ( 4.8l flat pistons, decked 243s, SS2 Cam, Pac 1218 springs, ported intake, 120mm TB, Long tubes, 3" duals HP tuner software tuned by me), 4l80e swapped and 4.56 gears.

bmwking Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 2.67... before rise too. you'll probably be around 4 ohms or higher. but hey man, you do what makes you happy, dont listen to goons on the interwebz just make sure you get the bass version (not sure if taramps does a bass/full range amp separately, but just make sure you do the bass version) good luck and i look forward to hearing your impressions of it!

The MD isn't a bass version but thier site shows it a perfect match for a subwoofer. It doesn't have a subsonic filter on it and that's a must for me, but can go other ways to accomplish that too. I can wire down to .67 and get the 1 ohm version for same price. Is there any way to kind of calculate impedance rise ? Since at .67 I'm close to one ohm rise would out me past 1 ohm pretty quickly right? Just read they don't play well under rated impedance and don't wanna burn up a $400 amp or worse my truck just to get a few more watts. Not dead set on this amp just been reading and that's about as close as I can come financially to 5k lol. Have any other suggestions for something better/different? The bass 5k is another $50, if it's worth it if like to know the difference between em. 2009 Silverado 1500, 7.5" lift, 37x12.50r17s, Built Gen 4 5.3L ( 4.8l flat pistons, decked 243s, SS2 Cam, Pac 1218 springs, ported intake, 120mm TB, Long tubes, 3" duals HP tuner software tuned by me), 4l80e swapped and 4.56 gears.

bmwking Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 personally i'd go with the bass 5k, but that's me. as for box rise calculation... that's a bit above my level of knowledge. there may be someone else around who can help, if not do some googlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehall8702 Posted February 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 I don't have fb and I'm in a pretty isolated area, can't even find anything car audio on Craigslist lol. Side note found a md8000.1 for $20 more than the bass 5k ...I spend too much time looking but can never make up my mind. I'm still kinda sketchy on the Brazilian amps even though there seems to be no real issue if ur not just being dumb. I got decent electrical, 1/0 welding wire going in soon, have a 250a alt and 2 big deep cycles and a big ass 1200cca battery. That's next on my list is upgrading batteries. 2009 Silverado 1500, 7.5" lift, 37x12.50r17s, Built Gen 4 5.3L ( 4.8l flat pistons, decked 243s, SS2 Cam, Pac 1218 springs, ported intake, 120mm TB, Long tubes, 3" duals HP tuner software tuned by me), 4l80e swapped and 4.56 gears.

ehall8702 Posted February 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 So top dollar ( shipping tax everything) I got $400 for a new amp...did that change the playing field any?
