I'm looking into getting two 18" RE Audio XXX woofers, They're rated at 4000 peak and 2000 RMS each. I'm looking for the best amplifier that will push a pair of these subs. total RMS wattage is 4000 watts for the two. I have no budget yet just wondering what is the best amp people think would be best for these two subs...cheaper is always better.
I believe they are dual 2 ohm subs when wired together in Parallel it comes out to be 2 ohms. So i'm looking for an amplifier that will push these at 2 ohms and possibly at 0.5 ohms but i'm not sure if it would be too hot to run that much power.
A few amps i've looked at are:
SOUNDSTREAM XXX-6500D ROCKFORD FOSGATE T20001BD (strapped together) Zapco C2K-4KW Kicker ZX2500.1 (one for each sub)
any others out there you guys suggest? and i'm willing to have an amp for each sub or strap two together or one big amp.
I dont believe that one will work snow, having two dual 2ohm subs wired together is 2 ohms and that amp only puts out 2600 watts at 2ohms any other suggestions??
Honestly go with 2 kicker 2500.1 amps but buy from the factory not refurbished or used. I ran 3 15in Orion HCCA's of 1 kicker 2500.1 amp those subs are same wattage as urs. Go with kicker or an old school Orion or memphis amp rated at 2000watts at 2ohs 4000 by 1ohm Hopefully this was helpful
Check out reaudio.com and go to the us amps section they have a section where they will build one to your specs or they have a sub under the competition section that runs 2000 watt try that that got killer subs too
Oh really? i did not know they could be ran at .5 ohms good to know! I dont think i can use the kickers unless they can be strapped together. And how much would 2 AQ's cost? and where might i get them? yeah i'll have to figure out the power supply once i get to that problem, i might have to have a few alts and and batts to run it.
That is true M.S. But i've got to finish my '71 chevelle first hahaha i'm getting kind of ahead of myself i just love this stuff it is interesting and i love learning it!!
