Bronze Member Username: Escapeon22zPost Number: 12 Registered: Aug-08 | i have 2 cerwin vega strokers.. dual 2 ohm model and puttin a new amp.. i kno i can wire both of them to one amp at a 2 ohm load or wire each to there own amp at 1 ohm.. which would you suggest for this setup.. i was considerin gettin a kicker 2500.1 bc it puts 2500 watts at 2 ohm or investin into some rockford 1000 watt monos bc they are 1 ohm stabel and give around 1000 watts.. wat do u suggest or wat are some other options? My electrical system will be able to keep up as long as i dont go to drastic because i have 0 ga wire.. spare battery.. and amp relay Thanks |

Gold Member Username: BonhamdPost Number: 1078 Registered: Nov-07 | the zx2500 is a good choice but it would be a good idea to upgrade your electrical for sure that amp is probably going to draw well over 200 amps full tilt |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 8349 Registered: Jul-06 | Well sorry to tell you but you won't get a good amp of that size and the electrical system to support it all for that price....... The ZX2500.1 is a good choice though. |

Bronze Member Username: Escapeon22zPost Number: 16 Registered: Aug-08 | only thing my electrical system really needs is maybe a more powerful alternator.. i have a batt and 0 ga wire and might put a cap on it im not sure.. i am goin to wait on the alternator bc i kno it will help improve it but i dont think it will make night/day difference will it?? |

Gold Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 1211 Registered: Aug-07 | NO cap!! and you neeed the HO alt if your going to get an amp that size. you can get a 100000watt amp but your alternator will only allow you to push 1000-1200rms. so to run the kicker 2500.1 you NEED the HO alt |

DB is one of the best companies, my HO alt is from there. And remember to do the big 3 |

Gold Member Username: MixmastaspigTeam RD, Canada Post Number: 1843 Registered: Sep-05 | @Steven Lopez Pedraza I've read a few posts from you, not to be mean but, put some thought into them before posting. He does not need 10k rms... A Kicker Warhorse is $10,000 and puts out 10,000 watts. You can 2 5krms amp and strap them together to get 10krms+ for under $5,000. Plus the electrical upgrades required to run that amount of power would end up costing a HUGE amount of dough! Over the Rockfords and Kicker 2500.1 I would go the Kicker route... |

Bronze Member Username: Escapeon22zPost Number: 21 Registered: Aug-08 | my subs only claim 2000 watt rms each.. putting a warhorse would kill them and there is no way i can afford all the upgrades for one of those.. going to go with a 1000.1 for now and see how satisfied I am and than maybe a 2500.1 when my 260a alternator comes in |

Bronze Member Username: Warhorsesolox12sPost Number: 11 Registered: Sep-08 | actually i have a kicker warhorse and it only pulls 833 amps. if you wired two or more amps together to get that same wattage youre atleast doubling that. 4 zx2500's will pull over 1400 amps. like i said before, the warhorse pulls 833. and it can put out 20000 watts. kicker underrates their amps. but josh, you should get the zx2500. |
