Just bought my new sub

[g6ryder]

Sorry ya ill give u some more info 0 gauge raptor wire pretty good wire IMO for the price I got it for, stock alt 125amp optima red top under hood and stinger spv35 in trunk big3 last time I checked my voltage was a while back but was about 13.5-14.2 give or take I would like to stay around 2k at most but open to opinions.

Id give it an AQ 2200 as long as you have the power to back it up properly... Them Subs are pretty vicious man ive seen a truck with 6 15's in it and it was LOUD

[g6ryder]

I'm very interested in sundown 1500d tho looking for used bc of the price

[fecupe2001]

I would go with the AQ2200.1

[g6ryder]

I think I will but I thought it may be to much so I wanted to get some advice thanks everyone for the help AQ it is

First of all, those subs can handle power and abuse just great, that 3" coil helps a lot! Second, remember there´s something called impedance rise and voltage drops, your 2200 watts amplifier will push 1200 watts to that sub if you are lucky ahaha, and third, it´s always better to have a bigger amp and set the gains nice and unclipped than having a smaller amp with a cranked gains.

Said all that, i wouldn´t worry about getting the AQ, should be perfect for your application at this moment, a better alternator should be your next goal

And it is I'm in need of one just need to get rid of some things so I can pick up the AQ this should be loud wen I get everything together I will post a build log

You can't count of rise when picking a amp.

That's not smart. You have no idea how much it rises. And what about playing below tuning where you hardly have any rise?

This is why noobs blow and mess up all kinds of equipment cause of comments like this.

If the sub is rated at 1200, you need a +/-1200rms. Not 2200rms cause you might only see 1200rms out of it on music.

[g6ryder]

So you suggest to stick with its rating which is I believe 1200 rms?

Yes you can count on the rise when you are picking an amp, you´ll know you won´t see 1 ohm for example unless it´s a very and efficient box wich it´s very hard to see on a daily application, so yes i do believe it´s smart, what i don´t think it is has to be playing way below tuning, i´m a smart guy and after getting tons of power on subs and not blowing them, i think i do know what i´m talking about, if he´s a noob he´ll get a design, a box building and gain settings from a knowledge guy, so don´t come and talk to me like i give advices without thinking on anything please, save it to someone else.

if it´s a 1200 watts sub it´s boring to have a 1200 watts where you´ll get 600 watts if you are lucky, knowing that with a much cheaper sub you could even be louder, and then, getting angry about a guy with a system much cheaper than yours been able to play just as loud
