GPGT Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 :hairtrick: First post on here, thanks to Steve Meade for making this site possible. My question is what amp is best for running down to 1 ohm at under $500? My goal is to go to some local SPL competitions and in general play some very loud, deep bass on music everyday. I havent' had a system in a few years. Last setup I had was 2 12'' xplods sealed in a Trans Am with a 1200 w max xplod amp and I walked away a winner twice from two local competitions believe it or not. Best score was 144 (old mic though). I'm thinking of getting into some better gear for this car now that I've ran some of the lower end gear. I'd like loud sound quality that can hopefully get into the 140's ya know. The loudest set up I've ever actually sat in was 2 15'' MA Audio subs in a ported box with a 4000 watt MA Audio amp in a Blazer, he pulled a 148 on the new TL. I've not too sure what subs I'm going to run yet but I know I want to get into the mid 140's and I know that it's best to start with picking an amp first. On another note, I'm going to build a ported box for whatever subs I go with, but everything has to stay in the trunk, my back seats do fold down for when I want to get crazy loud. Any ideas for a trunk only sql setup with only 1-2000 watts (budget limited, don't want to upgrade my electrical). Thanks a lot in advance for any input.

Cr@sh Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 The Audioque 2200D is 350 shipped and you can buy it directly from them. There are several guys on here getting great numbers from this amp. Quote My old install at cardomain, never finished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightshade Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Once you get your equipment situated I'd love to help ya out. Have alot of time spent in that GP's Trunk This is the motherfucker you want to listen to. Rob more than likely has the loudest trunk GP in the world. Dude is a bit crazy, but when you are trying to break a 155 out of the trunk with a pair of 10's and 15K watts you ain't right in the head Quote 2013 VW Jetta GLI 2.0 Turbo 1 Sundown Audio SCV2000 1 Sundown Audio X15 V2 1 XS Power D3100 Audio Control LC6i Stock Deck 146.4 sealed on the dash at 37hz 2001 Focus ZX3: RETIRED Team Sundown Audio, Team XS Power, 2 time NSPL Car 3601-Up Champion, 2 time NSPL Car Hardcore ChampionHighest NSPL Scores to date:154.3db on the dash sealed at 46hz, 156.2db in the kick at 46hz155.2db unofficial on dash at 43hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
