Gold Member Username: IlluminatorUSA Post Number: 4441 Registered: Apr-05 | What is your budget? You're talking 2000w of RMS power here...a decent amp could easily cost $500+ |

New member Username: Murphy5432Post Number: 3 Registered: Aug-06 | thats fine money isnt really a problem... i allready have the subs so yeah |

New member Username: Naut45Post Number: 1 Registered: Aug-06 | 2 mmats d1600.2 ..............1 sub on each amp....wire your each sub in parallel so that the ohm load is 2 ohms for each sub thus giving you what you will need seeing how the each amp puts out 1150rms at 2 ohms. |

New member Username: Murphy5432Post Number: 5 Registered: Aug-06 | Is there anyway to do it a little cheaper like under 800 bucks!?? |
|
Gold Member Username: IlluminatorUSA Post Number: 4457 Registered: Apr-05 | 800 total or 800 for each amp? If for each amp: http://cgi.ebay.com/JL-Audio-1000-1-Monoblock-Class-D-Amp-NEW-2006-SLASH_W0QQite mZ120021973364QQihZ002QQcategoryZ79827QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem If total(which is not much), then you would probably be best off with a Soundstream Van Gogh 1600.2 or a PPI PCX2400, run each sub off each channel, and you'll be able to get 800w RMS to each sub, they'll be underpowered, though. I'll have to do some more research on this. |

Gold Member Username: IlluminatorUSA Post Number: 4459 Registered: Apr-05 | You could probably get a used one for 450-500 each off ebay, that would make those things sound awesome. |

New member Username: Naut45Post Number: 5 Registered: Aug-06 | Think of it this way if you buy an amp that is 1000 watts rms at 2 ohms. You are going to need an amp on each sub but you will also be cranking your amps up way to much. You always want an amp thats rms is more than the sub so you dont have to run it is hard. Also why the hell would you get to Type X 12's. Are you driving a tank in which you have a 8 inch steel wall between you and your trunk. |

Silver Member Username: CadillacdbHouston , TX Post Number: 802 Registered: Aug-05 | BigBox actually ask a Good Question but not because of the driven a tank thing but just the question of what do you drive ?????? i just wonder what you drive because i wanna see what kind of amps ur alternator comes with stock, because with that kind of electrical demand on ur car its gonna need a high output alternator, but you might be able to get away with only a yellowtop under the hood until you can get the high output alt so i just wonder what ur alternator is stock |
