CstrokerV Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Just keep the gain down and then it will let you upgrade later to two 1500 watt subs or one 3000... ... heard the lower end amps are junk but no experience with them.... my build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142505-small-build-log-4-dc-lvl3-10s-tl-update-link-to-rebuild/ http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/154258-rebuild-6-lvl3-12s-update-small-video-nothing-spectacular/ new build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188181-03-trailblazer-slow-build-8-dc-lvl3-12-m1-motor-m2-parts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexterity Posted March 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Looking for a new box for the 12's and I found this q bomb box says 2 cu ft of space per sub and its tuned to 30 Hz. Rockford Fosgate says in their manual for the subs that they recommend tuning to 40 Hz and 1.79 cu ft of space per sub. Sound like a good fit or should I look for one that's tuned higher? I listen to a lot of rap music so I figure it wont be a big deal if its lower than recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the skar rp-1500.1D? Whats the benefit of a repeatable amp? The v2 model of that amp only puts out 900 watts at 2ohm, after impedance rise your looking at something even lower. And that’s if you can hold 14.4 volts. The sundown 3000 they suggested will work great and later you can upgrade the subs and wire down to 1ohm and use its full potential, sundown amps also come with a 2 year warranty. ♦ Sundown NSV4 18" + Sundown SALT-4 Baby ♦ MechMan Elite 370a + XS3100 - XP3000 ♦ SHCA 1/0 OFC(blue) + SMD Fuse Holders(blue) ♦ Pioneer AVH-2440NEX + SHCA Pro RCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexterity Posted April 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 I see what you're saying but there still has to be a cheaper alternative from the sundown amp. I have no doubts its a great amp its just too expensive for me personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottyboy Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 I'll tell you now, I've got a Skar rp-2000.1d and it sounds great, when it works. I've had it just over a month. 7 days after install it went into permanent protect. So sent back and got another one 2 weeks later. This one worked for 9 days, and yesterday I had to send back to skar AGAIN cuz it went into permanent protect. So between Skar and UPS, they've had it longer than me since I bought it. So trying to save money just got me screwed. You're better off buying a decent amp instead of dealing with what I'm dealing with! I'm really upset actually!
