4- LvL5 18's, what amp???????


Recommended Posts

Wow. Thanks for all the quick replies guys!

I really wanted to do 1 amp but I guess thats gonna be out the window going by everyone's suggestions. LOL.

I know my Maxximus isnt very efficent, which was a pain b/c it was thirsty as hell. The Sundowns seem to be the most popular recommendation so far. How efficent are they? Are they thirsty amps as well? Also, whats a good price for them?

I ran a Maxximus for awhile on the LVL 5's I don't see where this combo wouldn't work in the correct setup.

not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. :)

Yes and I think alot of people would tell you that, I was going to do a RF4000 on the 2 dc's and everyone was steering me to the Sundowns, they were saying the RF4000's were power hungry, but I think with any system with that kind of power you will def need electrical to back it up

Have you been to the Sundown website, if not you should check it out. Also pm Brandon or Jacob, they are usually very helpful with questions and pricing.

2 18's and I would be more then comfortable saying 4 subs and a maxximus would do very, very well in the right setup.

Some people say it is risky to run them daily. That's what ive heard, but some manage to do it, and some fry them. I would go with Sound digital if you really wanted to push them :D
