Silver Member Username: Nickyp0219Post Number: 449 Registered: Jun-06 | well the reaudio site says its thermal power handling is 2000rms, so your prob gonna need an amp that does at least that much power, to a 1 ohm load, since its a dual 2ohm sub. |

Platinum Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA Post Number: 17689 Registered: Oct-05 | javier i assume the sub is dual 2ohm? if so get the sundown saz1500. that amp should push that nicely. www.low-hz.com |

New member Username: Big_osoBaldwin Park, CA USA Post Number: 4 Registered: Feb-08 | Ok according to the guy I got the sub from, it is a 2005 RE Audio XXX 18" with Dual 1 Ohm voice coils. I have an MA Audio HK2000D amp (brand new in box) but I dont know if it will be enough. According to the specs in the manual, it does 1800W RMS at 1 Ohm at 14.4. I hope this info helps. P.S.: checked out the Sundown Saz1500 |

Platinum Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA Post Number: 17696 Registered: Oct-05 | i'd take the xxx over jl anyday. since your sub is a dual 1ohm you need an amp that does around 1500-2000wrms at 2ohms. i say go with a kicker zx1500. |

Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sThe kids like my rhyme... Post Number: 3822 Registered: Feb-06 | go with at least 2000 watts |
|
Silver Member Username: SkaUSA Post Number: 243 Registered: Jan-08 | if its duel 1 ohm, you can wire it UP to 2 ohms, so get a kicker zx2500, or do you guys think that might be too much power for it? |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA Post Number: 17701 Registered: Oct-05 | its the older xxx. it is very efficient with around 1500wrms. yes it can take more but why over do it. not only will it cost more to run that much power but he really needs to get the ho alt. even at 1500wrms he should get a ho alt but he can get by if he takes it easy. |
|
Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sThe kids like my rhyme... Post Number: 3824 Registered: Feb-06 | ^ this coming from the guy who ran 4000+ watts to a sub rated at 2500... oh chad... you kill me |

New member Username: Big_osoBaldwin Park, CA USA Post Number: 6 Registered: Feb-08 | Ok so let me get this straight. You are recommending the Kicker ZX1500? I checked it out and it seems weak. Lets assume money is no object, what would be the best amp for my sub? Also, where can I get a great high output alternator? |

Silver Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 330 Registered: Aug-07 | why assume money is no object? we can throw out many amps that will be ridiculously priced. but all VERY high quality. why dont u post a REAL budget so we can get down to business and find u an amp. the kicker 1500 will produce around 1900rms. which is perfect for the XXX |
|
New member Username: Big_osoBaldwin Park, CA USA Post Number: 7 Registered: Feb-08 | Ok when you put it like that, you make a great point. If you think the Kicker is perfect for the sub, then I will pick up the Kicker. Any recommendations for electrical upgrades to my car? It's a 2002 Dodge Ram and I have budgeted $1000 for the electrical. |

Gold Member Username: LoudonPost Number: 2235 Registered: Jun-04 | ive seen 150 zx1500s and none of them produce 1900 watts ... in a perfect enviorment at 14.4 ud could see 1700.. ideally ull be around 1550-1650 ... if ur looking into amplifiers ... why not purchase an amp thats going to be able to be used later on... lord knows people change their audio like they change their underwear ... something 2k -2500 is where u should look ... thermal is 2k put people have ran over 3k on the 05 xxx ... |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA Post Number: 17714 Registered: Oct-05 | mike its the older xxx. the recomended rms for that sub was 1600wrms. |
|
Gold Member Username: LoudonPost Number: 2236 Registered: Jun-04 | oh alright .. ideally ud be looking at 2k max for daily ... look into a kicker zx2500 ... i know that sub can take 2500 daily all day long |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA Post Number: 17716 Registered: Oct-05 | just make sure you get a ho alt. |
|
New member Username: Big_osoBaldwin Park, CA USA Post Number: 8 Registered: Feb-08 | The zx2500 is goin for about $700 on Ebay, is that about right? Is there another amp in that same price range or possibly a few hundred dollars higher that would be better suited to my sub? As for the HO alt, any recommendations? |

Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 6719 Registered: Jul-06 | You can find the ZX2500 for way less than $700. |
