Kevin9d1 Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Alright so I plan on buying a 15" Fi BL and I have the option of dual 1 ohm or dual 2 ohm and I'm not sure which one to pick, like if I were to pick a dual 1 ohm setup, what type of amp would I run with that? Same with the dual 2 ohm. Sorry for being complete noob but I'm still learning stuff and if anyone could give me a brief explanation I'd appreciate it. Oh and I guess I might as well ask what type of amp would you guys recommend, I'm looking to run it at about 1000-1200watts since I'm running stock electrical. Thanks for your time!

Thanks for your time! i would upgrde your electrical either way but i would run the duel 2 if your only doing one sub that way you can wire your amp down to 1 ohm and get a good mono block amp that puts out around 1000 watts at 1 ohm like audioque 1200 or sundown 1500 or a rockford t1k or something like that Quote R.I.P '01 blazer you treated my ears well until your transmission blew up.

BigHOUSTON Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 the dual 1 is actually going to run a load of 0.7ohms if wired with 1 amp and the dual 2 is going to be 1.4ohms if im not mistakin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin9d1 Posted April 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Alright cool. Well now I'm thinking either getting a dual 1ohm and wiring it at 2ohms off of a Alpine M1000 or getting a dual 2ohm and wiring it at 1ohm off a Sundown 1000D. Any opinions?

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.

magusmarcus Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Sundown gets my vote... But, how much is the Alpine anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AssKicker Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Get a Sundown, AQ or DAT amp. Everything else just isn't worth the change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
