2 ohm stable amp suggestions?

[robertoyoung08 10+ year member]

Need an amp for my sub. At least 1000 watts rms, and one thats only stable down to 2 ohms. any good amp suggestions? let me know, im really looking right now.!

Its ALOT easier to find 1 ohm amps, but my sub is 2 ohms.

If i get an amp thats like 1500 watts rms (for instance) at 1 ohm at 2 it does like 800 or something. So i need one thats only down to 2 ohm, so i can use all the power efficiently. If i get one that does the watts i want at 2 ohms, but at 1 ohm it does more, il be paying for more power that i wont use and also just drawing more current.

also.. does anyone know on average how many watts a car battery can take while still running good (same battery that will be used for rest of electircal car needs)

LOL your question about the battery... 1000 @ 2 ohms shouldn't be too hard on any decent battery and at least a 100 amp alternator so you can run all the other stuff in your car and the sound system at the same time.

I think you are going to need an amp called a "Kicker" amp. Seems they are 2 ohm amps, though most people here try to run them at 1 ohm because they do more power at 1 ohm.... but they are not cheap either...

Other suggestion might be if your subwoofer has 2 voice coils... use a 500 watt x 2 amp. Class AB. Like a Rockford Fosgate 500.2, I think they do make one. Not sure on the price though...

Or a JL 1000/1, but again, price is high.

If I had to do 2 ohms, I would get a SAZ-2000D and have a really nice 1000+ x 1 @ 2 ohms. Or strap two smaller amps together, for 1000 @ 2 ohms, but I am not sure who if anyone makes strappable amps that are only 500 watts @ 1 ohm....

Oh. Maybe look at the AudioPipe AP30001D. It may do 1000 rms @ 2 ohms and if there are any left they were only $325 or so on Ebay.

The older bd Fosgates are 2 ohm. Kicker would also be a good choice.

yea the kicker zx1000.1 would be a good choice. even a 750.1 wouldnt be too bad my birthsheet on my 750 is like 950 so they often do over rated power

db-r's suggestion on the saz 2000d is very good too. these are nice amps

apline pdx 1000

Kicker would do the job

thanks for the suggestions

ive had the kicker zx.1000.1 on 2 jl w3's, but its time for something new and BETTER. only thing thats keeping me from getting a good amp is my budget.

im trying to power a dvc 1ohm re mx, at a 2 ohm load, unless anyone knows of an amp that can run at .5? ive only seen like zapco, but those are expensive as hell.

i liked the sundown amp but their expensive also, anyone know where i can get them cheaper?

Check out our refurbished amps. Same amps, 1 year warranty. Less money. But if you are wanting a SAZ-2000D, none are availible in refurbished right now. There is a SAZ-1500D though I think, and it will do 800-1000 rms @ 2ohm depending on your impedance rise and your battery voltage. It will also run at .5 ohm but will likely tear your subs a new one with 1800 or so watts....

Audiopipe AP30001 will do 1800w RMS @ 4 Ohms 3000w RMS @ 2 Ohms And 1500w RMS X 2 @ 1 Ohm

Its a great budget amp that dose rated power and then some!!!! Also the gut shots are impressive for a $320-$330 amp. Below is a pic of one of mine!

I have a MMATS 1600.2 amp that is made specifically for 2 ohms. It is rated 1150 rms @ 2 ohm. Really great amp but since this is not the classified forum you can pm me if you want more info.
