Level 4 amp

[Rockstar20]

I need a new amp for either a dc level 4 12 or 15in. Im new to dc subs and i know that the rms is 1000-2000 but i hear that they run closer to the 2000? Because the amps ive been looking at are the aq1200d, and the SAZ-1500d. Would it be a better choice to just throw out the money for the sundown? Or would i need even more power than that? suggestions would be very helpful thanks

The AQ is nice, does rated power and then some. Sundown is very efficient, does more than rated power. If you got the money, get the sundown. That DC will love it. Just make sure you got the electrical to back it up.

The lvl 4 is rated at 1000wrms, can be push 1500wrms daily if its a clean signal. 2000wrms is more of the lvl4xl range, unless you have a lvl 4 with lvl 5 soft parts. For amps i would pick the audioque, price and clip light.

Okay so if i go with the sundown i will need to upgrade my alternator which i can do and probably need to do anyways. Thats do able, but would that be necessary for the AQ? And also would adding another battery be needed or is that more for 2 DC's?

Why would you need a battery for a extra sub?

Subs don't draw current, amps do.

If you want to run 2000rms, you need 2 level 4s. if you only want one sub, you need the XL.

I'm guessing he meant he would get another amp to power the extra subs, resulting in a bigger power draw. This is a little off the topic, but how much power do you need to draw to make it where the alternator and battery can't keep up? I'm nowhere close to this but I'm curious.

Hard to say without knowing how big the alt is and the size and specs of the battery.

Stock, I'd say 150amps.

Yeah sorry for not specifying but i was referring to adding another or larger amp if i were to add another level 4 for the battery question. But thanks for the help!!
