It's used but in good condition and I'd like to hear some opinions on what ya'll would go about trying to power this thing. Most likely going to go in a sealed box to specs... but ported is not out of the question. I'd appreciate any insight. -Dan |

New member Username: Dan_whitePost Number: 3 Registered: Jun-08 | btw it's dual 2 ohm voice coils so I'm going to need a 1 ohm stable amp because pushing 1000 watts or even 800 at 4 ohms is going to be a little too expensive. Just wondering also, running at 1 ohm isn't frowned upon as far as preformance and durability correct? If so oh well. I'm looking for an amp that can push around 1000 watts at 1 ohm. Any advice would recieve much graditude and appreciation. Thanks. |

New member Username: Dan_whitePost Number: 4 Registered: Jun-08 | Around 400/450 for a good amp if need be used so beat it, but I know for sure my sound quality is more important than my budget so saving up wouldnt be too out of the question. As far as the budget of around 450 what amps stand out to yall? |

New member Username: Dan_whitePost Number: 5 Registered: Jun-08 | Really didnt wanna hear that lol, too late now. We'll see. With what yall are saying Im not even going to look into an amp until I find out how it sounds. |

New member Username: Dan_whitePost Number: 6 Registered: Jun-08 | I dont understand, Kevin. You payed 4,000 dollars for a 1,000 watt adire audio sub that sounded like $hit? Was it a personal problem or are you trying to say that the whole series was a flop? I dont see how with adire's reputation a newer generation sub would be a paper weight. Did it not hit hard or just sounded bad? Elaborate please. Also, I'd like to know about these amps. Never heard of sundown or RD before. |

Gold Member Username: 04redmach1Columbus, GA USA Post Number: 2041 Registered: Mar-06 | I bought a pallet of Adire subs. I think maybe 3 worked. The rest blew and scrubbed out of the box. Even on half the rms power they blew. Poor build quality all around. RD and Sundown amps are very good quality products. Either will suit your needs and last. Kevin lowhz01@yahoo.com |
