(2) RE SE 12's: SAE 1000D or SAZ 1500D?

[maddog808 10+ year member]

I'm finally set on my subs. 2 RE SE 12's. Would the 1000D provide enough power for these, or do I need to step it up to the 1500D?

Also, would a 1 ohm load on either of these amps put to much of a strain on my electrical? I have stock alty and 2 stock batteries in a 2004 dodge ram diesel. I plan on doing the big 3.

I'm also gonna put in a decent 2 channel for a good pair of comps for the front doors. I'm a bit limited on space...amps are going under the front seats.

Please help a noob out...I've been reading for days.

1000wrms is enough to get'm moving, but you'd have a very noticeable difference if you went with the 1500d

1500 d so you could be like me. i say head room never hurt anyone.

1500d for sure, i gave mine over around 800 and it took it well

Yea I have read multiple times saying the se's will handle more than the rated 600 rms. I would definitely go with the 1500d for extra headroom.

My 2 RE SE12 handled my RD Audio 1750.1d with no problems.

How about the 1 ohm load ?

 

[silverlude56 10+ year member]

yea man, each SE can handle at least 800rms. the 1500d i say is the way to go and even that probably wont push them to their max(which is safe) with so many amps being overrated these days...

I'd get the 1500D if they were my subs.

I had a feeling more people would say 1500D. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
