waniack85 Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 What are the pros and cons to this?? I already have a T2k Fosgate power amp, but wanting to upgrade to 4K Watts. I'm wondering what would be a better route. Just having one big amp or two 2K Amps. How would amp draw be between the two? Space is obviously an advantage of one amp. The amp/amps will be pushing 4 Fi Bl's fully loaded. Thanks for any advice. Quote 143.3 @ 32hz Sealed up/mic on dash w/term lab.

chapo123 Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 less wiring to do ftw. lol thats my opinon. Quote Steve I don't know why but everytime I see your new paint I want a Dr. Pepper...... is this normal? heres an analogy for you. running a high power stereo without a fuse is like having unprotected sex with that hot chick at the bar with the sketchy sexual history. Sure you may be fine and nothing happens but that one time something does happen you're fucked. i dont want woofer broke like bass sound clip clip and voice coil overheat 2 sa12s, saz1500 build log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/91183-chapo123s-sundown-build-log/page__gopid__1250604entry1250604 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdMoron Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) Will your wiring configurations be the same? If not then man if you already have a good t2k then just get another. It would look cleaner in my opinion Edited May 19, 2010 by bdMoron Quote 1995 Chevy Camaro Alpine CDA-7892 1 SA-12 DD CM1 @1 ohms XS Power D1200 Knukoncepts Fleks Coming soon....

Also with 1 4k, the subs will get the EXACT same power if im correct Edited May 19, 2010 by hdorre Quote On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destram Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) @Hdorre: You agree with less wiring....and getting a second amp? The two do not go together.

bdMoron Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Well the t4k uses a 500 amp fuse and the t2k uses a 250 amp fuse. So 2 t2ks should draw the same as a t4k...right? That seems like that's how it should be. Quote 1995 Chevy Camaro Alpine CDA-7892 1 SA-12 DD CM1 @1 ohms XS Power D1200 Knukoncepts Fleks Coming soon....

Hotdog Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) Depend on what your subs are too.... I have A t40001bd but would rather have 2 T20001bd because my 4 subs are dual 4ohm and I can either run .5 ohm at the amp or 2ohm. I run it at 2ohm to be safe, now if I had 2 T20001bd I could run a pair of subs to each amp at 1ohm and get full potential or I could master slave the amps and get full power at 2ohm.
