im purchasing 2 adire shiva 12's...if i like them maybe even 2 more...but i wanna know...what would push em DECENT? or even better then average...i got an old school kenwood 600 W amp....kac-874 or something...just let me know..i was thinking a rockford or a mtx...but i need rms ratings...thx
MTX has an amp rated at around 1200wRMS x 1 @ 2 ohms 1501d or 85000d, I forget. I don't feel like looking it up right this moment, but its on their website.
that'd be a good match. Shivas take up to 650wRMS each, and two Shivas will produce a 2 ohm load on a mono amp
Thunder81000D Mono-Block Class D Specifications Power 12.5 VDC Input 2 Ohm Load 1000 w x 1 Low Level 4 Ohm Load 500 w x 1 Crossover(s) Power 14.4 VDC Low Pass 40Hz-200Hz - 2 Ohm Load 1500 w x 1 Variable 4 Ohm Load 850 w x1 RCA Output ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
that one? there is no d amp at 1200...its 1000 or 1500 at 2 ohms ;\
yeah but the px1100.1 is a regulated power supply - gives 1100w rms 1-4 ohms
the bp1200.1 gives 600w rms at 4 ohms and 1200w rms at 2 or 1 ohm
ebay you can get a new bp1200.1 for like $250 just a heads up and as far as dB ratings, i saw someone with a pair of shivas each in a 1.75 cF sealed box and with a JL 1000/1 he hit 157.3 dB
im not quite sure if you'd hit that but expect something to be loud and sound excellent, especially in a sealed box
