help picking amp

[teamace24]

Well just know that if you upgrade to an amplifier that is just a couple hundred watts more than your old one, you will not hear a big difference in sound. You have to have an amp that does more than that to make a difference. Say your amp does 1500 watts, you need at least a 2500 rms amp to make it worth while to upgrade.

but see the boss amp gets to hot and i can hear it not powering to its full potential so i figure if i can get a much better amp then i will have no problem at all. Also I am getting rid of the second sub and dual box so i can just have the one since it is already hurts everyones ears that get in my car. but if anyone knows anyone with a saz-3000d or another 3000 watt amp that will push about 1600 or more wired to 2 ohm then letting me know would be greatly appreciated.

what about audioque AQ3500D.1 that will push 2600 watt at 2 ohm stable. that sounds like my best bet to give this sub its full potential. what do you guys think.

You paying $750 and running dual 0 gauge wire back and upgrading your entire electrical system?

well i have already rerouted battery to the trunk and am already using 0 guage with a 300 amp fuse. no to mention i already have an extra 20 ft of 0 gauge which is no problem to run one more as well as upgrade the big 3 and i already have another 300 amp fuse and fuse holder sitting around. so lets just say i'm prepared

i want the most bang for my buck and in research this amp has looked to be the best.

Just to help your searching. You could look for a 2 channel amp that does about 800x2 @4 ohm and wire each channel to a voice coil in mono mode.

how many watts rms would that push to the sub? like i said i want somewhere between 1600 to 2000

ok this sounds all kinds of dumb to me... it says 2200w max so you want to run 2000w+. max on these brands usually means thats how much they can take until they fail. some people can run a lot more power than rms to a sub but these people KNOW what they are doing and how to build a box to make the sub handle it. you said you have a dual box, prefab? not going to take 2k.

how did you test you boss amp? you hooked up another amp and it sounded the same so it must do X power? no TL so see if it was any louder? no clamp meter? not even a dmm? doesnt sound like you tested shit.

you can "hear" the amp not giving as much power... maybe what you are hearing is voltage drop? ever test that? maybe your already dropping to 10v, "so lets throw a bigger amp in!" to get 2000+ watts you NEED electrical upgrades, what have you done?

upgraded battery, high powered alt on its way and in process of doing the big 3.
