F N LO Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 hey guys, i am looking into getting 2 18'' Fi BLs and i was at a local shop today looking at amps... the sales person was trying to tell me that if i get a t1000lbd RF amp and wire it a 1 ohm, each sub will be seeing 1000w RMS, i thought because you have 2 subs hooked up they would, in reality only see 500 rms EACH... so she went on to tell me how she could gimme a deal on that amp, will it be enough for those 2 BLs?? ps, her best price was 699, plus tax, CDN.... Anyone wanna help with some inpuit??? Quote
AI James Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 the salesman is wrong get somethign with 3k RMS Quote
F N LO Posted February 2, 2007 Author Report Posted February 2, 2007 even for the bls?? like i know a hopped up BTL can take massive power,...but no one know much about the bls yet, i wouldnt want to over push them... in the clasified section there is a US amps that will do 1500 rms at 1 ohm is that enough for something like the bls?? i dont have ALOTof money for an amp, but i def. dont wanna cheap oput...

Did i leave and come back and nobody knows how to read anymore? Quote
F N LO Posted February 2, 2007 Author Report Posted February 2, 2007 ok bnut the thing is that i wasnt planning on fully loading it, that was my next question, sorry for not explaining myself dude, Quote
AI James Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 a t1000 might and i strongly mean might put out 1500 to 2 of them myslef i woulnt put 1k to 2k rms worth of subs ven if you dont run them fully loaded run 3k just for the overhead Quote
F N LO Posted February 2, 2007 Author Report Posted February 2, 2007 ok so i should get the fully loaded?? does it help keep the subs to last longer when i am using them daily??and i can for sure run 3000rms daily into 2?? Quote
AI James Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 depends on if you get his daily option or not, each sub is 1500rms fully loaded so i would hope they would be fineat thier RMS or id be sending soeone a box back with the shitty subs back Quote
F N LO Posted February 2, 2007 Author Report Posted February 2, 2007 aight kool , thanx bro... should i stick with something like fosgate from a dealer, r do you think even with amps its ok to buy online?"?? Quote
AI James Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 not a good question to ask me, as im to the point i wont pay double just to support my local shops Quote
