2 20.1's Strapped or 1 DD Z1

[B_Campbell 10+ year member]

As the title reads.

I am thinking about getting one 20.1 to play with as soon as my paycheck comes in on the 17th, and thinking if I like it I will buy another one and strap em'.

Or I can wait and save for a DD Z1, then WAIT again for the them to come out.

Alright lets get to the point, What do you think will make more power. The pair of 20.1's strapped or the Z1. Another thing, the Z1 doesnt like .35 daily //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

whats your goal?

if it's more daily, i would go with the Z1, it makes an assload of power at 1ohm and is extremely effcient.

if your buildin' a burp monster, i would definalty try ouy a pair of 20.1's.

Its going to be a daily set up, but ran low. My subs are daul .7 ohms, and I have 2.

I might burp from time to time, but its mostly just for a loud DD

If the z1 doesnt do well at the load youre gonna need, should be a pretty easy choice.

z1 at .7?

z1 at .7?

Thats what I want to know. I know 2 20.1's strapped at .7 is insane, cuz its like running each at .35

Notice how 2500 is the mrsp. The units can be had for much cheaper, and you havent played with any of the exile mono blocks, untill you do, i wouldnt make that statement My 2400.1 is good for 3kw spl. And i never said either of those amps you mentioned arent good, because they are, I was just suggesting someting different that you may like. No hard feelings.. Whatever you go with, im sure you will be more than happy with. Back to your picks, ide go with 2 Ia's

Wasnt the 2400 the one that wouldnt do more than 1900 without clipping? I know I read that somewhere.......they ever get that figured out?

EDIT: not bashing exile, other than that, ive heard great things.....and they look **** solid, just curious.

Id go with the z1, because its easier running one amp.

I think he got that all resolved with morgan, im not sure what the problem was with his, maybe just the electrical system. I benched mine, and it exceeded the expectations for sure. 3kw burpable

Good point, less wiring to deal with..
