Disagree w/the AudioPipe.. 100% agree w/the MB Quart Discus 2ks.. they do rated & are cheeeeap. Not even $375, I'm thinking ~$300.

I was skeptical on the APs, but then I heard a few. I couldnt believe the sound they were making.

You know Jacob would support your daily driver setup, you're already team Sundown, why not run Sundown amps?

for some reason, i dunno if it was me or a bad amp, i couldnt get any kind of decent power out of mine. I dunno what the issue was.

I had a Sundown 3000D on 4 Chaos 15s and the subs never even got the least bit warm, even after full volume and 4-5 songs. Id definately say go for 1krms maybe a little more each.
I would just go sealed. Will still be loud. Something like .75 sealed for each sub would be great.

As for power, those new Audiopipe 3ks cant be touched for wattage per dollar. Another amp that is great for the money that Ive seen is the MB Quart 2000.1, alot of people have been running those lately. The MBs are around $375 new, and the APs are around $325 new. Id run 2 subs per amp either way you go.

i may have to check out the APs. thanks gmonk for the input. I was hoping you would see this lol

Good for the price, no doubt. Never seen bench tests.. isn't it just two 1500's strapped together inside?

i havent quit on sundown. I love their product. Im just exploring options. Jacob is awsome and so is the company. I recommend them to people all the time. Like i said I think I may of had something setup bad. Ive been contemplating going back to them and running their bigger amp. Right now Im just keeping my options open. Tis all lol

id consider running 8 sundown 2000s to the subs...thats an option. I gotta get ahold of Jacob lol

 

[J31Rob 5,000+ posts]

yummm.. either way. Can't wait to see the build bro!

 

[jagblazer01 10+ year member]

o there will def. be a build log haha......im just waiting on pricing from Jacob to make my decision. I gotta figure out the best design for this enclosure. Im thinking side clam but people have also suggested doing a diamond enclosure

i had 16- 12's in my astro with a second row seat, sealed, 1000w per sub, mine was more a sideways W or 2 clam shells - you can build 4 wedge boxes out side and then bold/screw glue together inside vechile. then i wrapped the out side in another 3/4 - so all sides were 1 1/2 thick.

Do whatever you'll think will work best man, whether it be a clam or diamond, both are going to slam..
