i was wondering what kind of amp and what watt amp i should get if i was getting these 15" soundstream subs. Could anyone help me out please? this is the info on the subs: Max: 2500 Burst RMS (watts): 1000 Magnet Wgt. (oz): 192 SPL: 99.9 Primary Enclosure Style: Ported Frequency response: 22-1kHz Mounting hole size: 14.25" Woofer depth: 8.125 Recommended enclosure: 3.5 Recommended enclosure type: vented Cast aluminium basket Large -roll foam surround Dual stacked magnet structure Aluminum voice coil former Extended back-plate with Aero-Vent Stitched tinsel leads Spring loaded push terminals Rubber gasket Rubber magnet cover Sensitivity: 99.9 dB RMS Power Range : 1000 Watts Peak Power Handling: 2500 Watts Impedance: 2 Ohm Low Frequency response: 22 Hz High Frequency Response: 1000 Hz Diameter: 15 Inch
If you do get theses subs,make sure you get dual 4ohm. That way you can wire them down to 1ohm. http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=2&I=42
And this is the amp that you would need,or something that does around 2000wrms @1ohm.
Good luck finding an amp to run 2k rms at 4 ohm. You'd be better off getting dual 4 ohm subs and running them in parallel to 1 ohm. 2k rms at 1 ohm will be much cheaper and easier to find. If you want a little bit better SQ, you could run two dual 2 ohm subs and run them in series to a final 2 ohm load. 2 ohm will be a little more efficient and sound a little "cleaner". 2k rms at 2 ohm will be more expensive as well, but not impossible to find. However, running this kind of power, you're going to need a strong alternator, definately after market, and even a nice additional battery in the trunk.
