BassAddict32 Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 i'm going to be powering 4 15" diamond audio D3 subs. they'll be dual 4OHM. however, should i get 2 amps and make them dual 2OHM or should i just get one amp and make them dual 4OHM? or any other way? Power Handling NOM/MAX: 500/1000 Watts now they can handle a bit more then that. so maybe 1200 watts unless i'm using one amp then should i get more power? i'm just clueless on what i should use to power them. any ideas?

WTF? If you get two amps, you can run each pair of subs at 1-ohm by paralleling all the coils. If you get one amp, you can bring the total load to 2-ohms across all four subs. You'll be safe giving the subs 500W each. If you don't know what you're doing, you'll blow the shit out of them with too much power. Quote Need an install?

Neo_frog Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 yeah, ill vouch, id say go w/ one big amp 2krms Not quite. The amp would have to be 4k RMS to give the subs sufficient power at 2-ohm.

Boon Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 Get 2 monoblocks that do around 1000wrms @ 1 ohm and strap them. With D4 subs you can get a 2 ohm final load. 2 DAT1000.1's would do awesome here. Quote 10.x volts fo' life!
a_steezy Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 for the final 2 ohm load I'd vote for the zx2500.1 probably put out 2,600-3,000 at 2 ohms sounds right for your application Quote '98 Dodge Durango 5.9L 5% front windows, 2.5% on all backs Alpine CDA-9883 Kicker ZX350.4 Kicker KS650's in all doors Kicker 1/0 hyperflex
BassAddict32 Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Posted January 31, 2009 alright, so just one big amp. sounds good. and between 2,500 and 3000? if i get a 3000 that'd make it what? 750 per sub? that'd sound pretty good. Quote 1994 Ford F150 reg cab 2 HFX 12's Audiopipe APSM-1300
rusty959 Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 sounds like a DAT 2500.1 is perfect for you. I love mine.

98HOEONSIXEZ Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 crossfire vr4000 puts our 4000 at 2 ohms,just an idea Quote
