rckstar Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 That would work well, Im pretty sure the sub is 1000w rms so you would have 500w ++ headroom. Quote my motto: hit it, quit it, never admit it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splzx3 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 make sure u order the dual 1 ohm sub so u can wire it down to 2 ohms and 1500 will be good Quote ________________________________________________________________________ deepsilencer, on 22 Aug 2011 - 17:32, said: splzx3, on 22 Aug 2011 - 17:27, said: i had my fun on one of his videos...till he blocked me then i got my mother into it lol after her he closed the comments xD lol your mom is a G!

teamace24 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 That will be good enough but trust me, you will want to upgrade that amp to a 2500 rms or higher since this sub will take that without getting warm. However, this is good enough but just build your box on the bigger side of the recommended specs so it could do more with that power but you will be ok.

Basshead08 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) I ran my hdc3 15 off of an AQ 1200 at 1/2 ohm and it got very loud. It will get pretty nasty on that 1500. Also I wouldn't worry about building the box bigger to compensate. I built at 5.1 cubes tuned to 36 hz at one point and didn't like the way it sounded. The best results I had was my last box. 4cubes tuned to 35hz. Just build the box to specs and let it rip!

teamace24 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 The box does not have to be drastically bigger at all but like all of us find out, when you get used to the sound of the sub at 1500 watts and you know it will take almost twice that, you will upgrade eventually. What is good about that though, is that your kicker 1500 has tremendous resale value and you might be able to get something like an audiopipe 3000d for your kicker amp and maybe a few bucks more on your side. Depending on the coils you get of course but theres the audiopipe aqx 1 ohm amp for around the same price as well.

Basshead08 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 I'll agree with you there. You will get used to the sound and want more. Its the bug and it bites hard.

teamace24 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Tell me about it, looking back when i started and was telling myself 'i only want a couple of subs to hear the sub bass notes but nothing shattering' i laugh because instead of going big from the start, i took those baby steps wasting money and tried many different brands and in the end came up with 'More power and More cone area please' Even with my system now and i already know i want to double the power but good thing about it is theres craiglist and forums like these where i can resell my stuff and get at least most of my money back, so its not a complete loss just need to get to 150 posts, lol.

I have an astro van so space is not an issue. Im eventually going to get 2 of the 18's and run them of off an aq2200 each.
