New member Username: AustinmcPost Number: 1 Registered: Jun-11 | Im going to order a single Fi Audio BL 15 Fully Loaded, the sub pushes 1000 RMS so im looking for a good/cheaper amp that will supply that. The problem is that my budget is 700 total for the amp sub wiring kit and box, i plan on building my own box and the sub costs 380 shipped so that leaves me 320 for everything else. Ive been looking everywhere online but every time i find something that fits my budget i look for reviews and they aren't all that great. So im wondering if someone could help me out please! I haven't ordered the sub yet so im open to all suggestions, i just want my system to hit hard! I listen to rap/heavy bass music as well and plan on using it daily if that helps. Thanks for looking! |

Soundstream amps are cheap and qaulity that way you can get a good wiring kit. Go to sonic electonixs.com and go to amps and narrow the search. Because you really didn't give me enough info or I would do it. Like is that 1000 combined? And what Ohm level? How you wiring it? Are they dual 4ohm voice coils? Or 2? |

New member Username: AustinmcPost Number: 2 Registered: Jun-11 | Thank you for posting! and its a single sub so the total rms is 1000, and i would be getting the 1 ohm dual voice coils. Sorry if i cant provide you with all the right info im kinda new to the whole car audio stuff, but ill check out the website you gave, thanks again! |

Bronze Member Username: Kmillz2525Post Number: 17 Registered: May-11 | Ok sorry I was just assuming with that much rms it was 2. And you'll probably just want to get a mono amp imo. The website I told you should make finding an Amp very easy and I'm new also so don't worry about it. You provided enough info now I just didn't know the ohm level or I could've given you some better ideas. But you should look for yourself |

Gold Member Username: KaerfplSpencerport, NY USA Post Number: 1011 Registered: Jun-06 | Hey Austin, the Fi Audio BL 15 you mentioned has the option to be either DVC 1 Ohm or DVC 2 Ohm. Just like you stated, the RMS Rating is 1000 Watts RMS. If you are only intending on purchasing one of these, I would recommend purchasing the DVC 2 Ohm version. This way, you will be able to wire the Subwoofer in Parallel to create a 1 Ohm Load. With this said, you will be wanting to look for an amplifier that can produce 1000 Watts RMS at 1 Ohm. Here are a few examples of amplifiers that you can look into that should be within your price range: 1. AQ1200D ($269.00): http://www.audioque.com/AQ1200D-Amplifier_p_30.html 2. Hifonics HFi1500D ($189.99): http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_22707_Hifonics-HFi1500D.html#tabs 3. PowerBass Xtreme XTA-1000D ($299.99): http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_26879_PowerBass-Xtreme-XTA-1000D.html 4. MTX RFL1200D ($289.99) http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_30649_MTX-RFL1200D.html#tabs 5. RE Audio XTX3000.1 ($319.99) http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_35818_RE-Audio-XTX3000.1.html These are just a few examples. There are many more out there, and as you can see, the prices do vary between brands. I have personally used and dealt with all of these brands in the past. I am currently used the AQ1200D that I listed above with my current setup, and I would recommend that over anything else here. |
