1x2000 watt or 2x1000 watts?

[97chameleonbird 10+ year member]

Would it be better to get one amp for 2000 rms for a single sub setup or go with two amps with 1000 each? I can't really find a 2000 watt amp that is cheap but they have a couple 1000 watt amps where you could get two for around 600-800.

If I just cant happen to find the 2000 watt amps and someone knows of a good one for that price range let me know and I'll look into it.

Thanks.

kicker 2500.1s come to mind off the bat

orion 2500d

there are many that can be had for that price range

Well the kicker is 2500 at 2ohms and the orion (the one i think you are talking about, the d2400) only does 1200 at 1ohm. Id rather be under than over but Id rather have 1500 or closer to 2000.

*Edit - I found the 2500D Orion amp, but that is also 2500.

more is not a bad thing, just turn your gains down

I dont know if I really want to risk that but, if I cant find anything else I could go for that. What about two Alpine PDX-1.1000. I see those being used all the time in pro audio installations. And I could get two for about $820ish. Or I could go with the two Kicker ZX1000.1s for a price of about $500.

for that price, you could pick up maybe 4 orion 1200d.

 

[savagebee 10+ year member]

either one of those would be fine, but less is always easier

trust me, you wont be in danger of damaging anything if you set the gains properly

Well thats what I'm worried about. I dont want to be an idiot and be able to try and turn it up more. That is a very big possibility, lol.
