    Amp match to Subwoofer

    If I have sundown 2 12 Uv2 what amp should I use? There rated at 1750 watts each but when I talk to a sundown tech they said they could the SFB 5000.D witch is a 5000 watt amp so it would be pushing each sub about 2500 each

    Adding more power to subs

    Hello I’m running two 6 1/2 Savard subs 350 rms each in a ported box under my seat. I’m using a DD amp 600rms would I hear a difference if i switch to a sundown amp 1000rms.

    Which ~2000w mono?

    Hello, Looking for an amp to power my subs. 850wrms each. 1700 watts total at roughly 80% efficiency means I’m looking in the ballpark of 2125w. So far looking at the 1800w Kicker 46cxa1800.1t and the DC Audio 2k. Looking at stuff between $5-700, but open to options. Thoughts?
