boomin Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Meeting up with a dude locally tomorrow to buy a PDX 1000.1 for $200. Good deal or not so good? I've seen them on eBay for like $300 so I thought this was very fair price. Anyways, I have some questions. I've heard many things about this amp, and I'm confused about the power ratings....It really does rated power at both 2 and 4 ohms? It won't play less loud at 4 ohms basically....if thats the case than I should wire my subs up to 4 ohms just to put less strain on my electrical. Also, I've heard these are a PITA to tune....my HU puts out only 2v preouts, so will this amp be hard to tune...should i get a line driver? And finally, what subs should I run on this? I want SPL and decent SQ too.....I was thinking a JL W7 13, but what if thats not loud enough. Maybe 2 DC level 3 12" but won't I be under powering them or are these amps under rated....I'm confused LOL Quote F/s: 2 custom made boxes, for 1 12" and 2 12" hit me up I'll let em go cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DC Power Kyle Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 No it will play less at 4 ohms. It "locks" onto the impedance instead of measuring the impedance dynamically. I honestly didn't like my PDX amps when i ran them a year ago.... But then again, I had the PDX 4.100 or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomin Posted June 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 But everywhere online its rated 1000@4 and 1000@2 ??? Am i missing something here? Quote F/s: 2 custom made boxes, for 1 12" and 2 12" hit me up I'll let em go cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamel52 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 i had one with two type r's wired to 4 ohms daily and it pounded, for that price i wouldnt pass it up if its in good condition. also probably one of the cleanest sounding amps ive heard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
