thorshammer Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 OP Gotcha. I can see your quandry lol. However.... Its 100x easier to tune 1 amp then 2. Does your noob friend know how to gain match 2 amps? Strap amps? For the money mentioned you can own a single big amp and just turn it down. If I wasnt going to comps I wouldnt blow my stuff up lol Its the pushing for every last ounce of power and hundreds of burps in testing that kills my stuff. The Fosgates mentioned are good amps but are major current hungry. You can get away with 3 batts with the AB and have a monster stable amp for daily. The 5k is also a good choice too.

hzsogood Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 2 Audioque 3500.1Ds...i run mine strapped at 1.4 ohm daily and they LOVE IT!!! there inexpensive, VERY POWERFUL, VERY RELIABLE and love playing music all day How much do they pull on your electrical? I didnt want to dump to much into electrical ( basically alt , big 3 etc ) on my current car , because I might be grtting a new one.. Would an amp like that, sundown 3500 etc be ok with just running a big batt in the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A single 5k will do the trick as well and will allow you to run less batteries. STAY AWAY FROM THE BRAZILIAN AMPS!!!! They are far to finicky and not nearly as stable and reliable as the korean boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
