Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 3923 Registered: Feb-06 | cheapest for the kicker or orion would probably be ebay. for the ed you buy direct, about $320-330 shipped. can also check out caraudio.com for sale section, you'll probably find one. personally i like kicker the best, not sure if it'll be to much for it though since it'll probably do closer to about 1800-1900wrms. i'd ask scott on that one. here's some online stores to check: www.woofersetc.com www.onlinecarstereo.com www.hifisoundconnection.com www.sonicelectronix.com www.mainstreet-audio.com www.uscaraudio.com www.electronicexpress.com |

|
Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 435 Registered: Feb-06 | How about a Sundown SAZ-1500D. For $450 shipped it is a real solid amp. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Janesville, Wisconsin US Post Number: 73 Registered: Apr-07 | nah im lookin to spend around 350 at most. |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 3940 Registered: Feb-06 | either get a new nine.1 or save more for a sundown 1500, you wont regret doing so. jmo |
|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Janesville, Wisconsin US Post Number: 76 Registered: Apr-07 | alright anyone else agree with the sundown or nin.1.....logan suggested the orion anyone know if that is a good amp for it? |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 3941 Registered: Feb-06 | orion amps are good. |
|

Gold Member Username: J_baby15DiRtY 5oUtH ... Post Number: 1555 Registered: Feb-06 | assuming its D2 then the Orion 1200d maybe. or a Kicker sx1250.1 or zx1500.1 would b nice but im not sure prices. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Janesville, Wisconsin US Post Number: 77 Registered: Apr-07 | alright ill check those out jordan for the sundown amp and the nine.1 are they that much different? i mean is it worth the extra 100 or so to get the sundown? |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 3943 Registered: Feb-06 | yes. i like the nine.1 but the sundown is in a different class. nothing wrong with the nine.1 though. get which one you can afford. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Janesville, Wisconsin US Post Number: 78 Registered: Apr-07 | so then if i had the money the sundown would be better but the nine.1 is still real good is what your sayin right? |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 3944 Registered: Feb-06 | yeah. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Janesville, Wisconsin US Post Number: 79 Registered: Apr-07 | alright. where did you see it for 450 shipped showrides? |

Gold Member Username: Crayola0Future 15 Wanger!!, Wisconsin Post Number: 1801 Registered: Jun-06 | im in teh same situation but with the 15" and i would do the sundown but wouldnt that be too much power for one thing and i dont want to upgrade my alt due to money issues. |
|
Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 443 Registered: Feb-06 | Just set the gains correctly and that isn't a problem. Not to mention as far as Class D amps go the Sundown is very efficient. |

Gold Member Username: Crayola0Future 15 Wanger!!, Wisconsin Post Number: 1802 Registered: Jun-06 | cause right now i have a stock 109 amp alt and i would do a big three |
|
Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 445 Registered: Feb-06 | Well if this site worked, it wouldn't be a problem. Whenever I post it says there is an error and to contact an admin. And then I try to post again and it posts twice. They need to work on that. 109 amp alternator with the big 3, would be able to run a 1500D. I have a stock 130 amp alternator with no other upgrades and it worked fine. Just set the gains to put out around 1200rms and you will be fine. |

Gold Member Username: Extrmndor3IF U HEAR ME... crazydbs.com Post Number: 4428 Registered: Feb-06 | get ahifonmics bxi2006d  will push around 1600 easily off that alternator... for 350 |

Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 446 Registered: Feb-06 | I guess not all people like clean power |

Bronze Member Username: DlavanteTigard, Or USA Post Number: 65 Registered: Feb-07 | nine.1 |

Silver Member Username: SplmonsterNowhere, OH USA Post Number: 719 Registered: May-06 | lol yea get that sundown, especially from low-hz everyone over there is real cool, and the bl would take that 1500 like a champ and will still be beggin for more haha |
|
Silver Member Username: SplmonsterNowhere, OH USA Post Number: 720 Registered: May-06 | but as ppl said before just make sure you set your gains really well and it should sound amazing |
|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Janesville, Wisconsin US Post Number: 80 Registered: Apr-07 | alright i havent had a system yet so i am wondering what you mean when you say: make sure you set your gains right... is that somethin that is easily explained to do? |
|
Silver Member Username: JblanfordPost Number: 781 Registered: Oct-06 | jeremy take a while and go read www.bcae1.com you will learn alot |
|
Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 450 Registered: Feb-06 | Caraudio.com has a great tutorial as well. Setting gains on an amp in crictical though. Make sure to do it, and to do it correctly. It isn't hard to do either if you can follow directions and have a DMM. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Janesville, Wisconsin US Post Number: 81 Registered: Apr-07 | whats a DMM and can anyone give me a link directly to setting gains |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 3975 Registered: Feb-06 | digital mutli meter (dmm) can be bought just about everywhere (lowes, home depot, sears, radio shack) from about $20 up. here's a pretty quick vid on gain setting: http://edesignaudio.com/edv2/ednews/home/blog.php?id=17 |
|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Janesville, Wisconsin US Post Number: 82 Registered: Apr-07 | so how do you know what to set your gains at? does it depend on the amp and sub that you have? |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 3986 Registered: Feb-06 | go here: http://www.subwoofertools.com/forum/setgain.asp |
|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Janesville, Wisconsin US Post Number: 83 Registered: Apr-07 | alright so if i dont feel very confident doin it myself would it be better to go to the local audio shop in town and have them do it for me? because my friend has a 93 eclipse which is almost a show car and has a system and what not but i dont think he has done anything wiht the gains. |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 3987 Registered: Feb-06 | if you don't know what your doing i'd take it somewhere that does for sure. don't want to spend money only to ruin your shi_t. just make sure you trust the place doing it. |

Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Janesville, Wisconsin US Post Number: 84 Registered: Apr-07 | ya thats what i was think i dont have money as it is i need to find a job. |
