2k amp or a bit above.

[n8te81 10+ year member]

Ill be getting my hdc312 in tomm and I need a amp that's either 2k or a bit higher. I have a nine.1 right now but I'm gonna want more power on it later on after it gets broken in. I would like to find something under 400 if I could or even lower.

Budget isn't high enough for a good amp?

I have a like new DB Drive PD 2000.1 it will do 2000+ @ 1 ohm and can play .5 daily at over 3k ...also good for .25 burps for $400 shipped...It comes with box and bass knob

Interested in your nine.1...I have an SQ2200.1

 

[wew lad 5,000+ posts]

id keep the nine.1 unless you plan on investing more

if fsd2600s are still available thats your best bet

Good luck getting one from him for that price lol

Your budget is high enough.

I like my nine.1 I've had it for years now with no issues but I don't think it's gonna be nearly enough for this hdc312 so that's why I was looking.

Add 30 dollars, and get a brand new sq 2200.2.

From the dyno vids, the new soundqubed 2200.2 does 2342 watts now but is less stable than the older version. i'd still go with the FSD 2600.1 over the soundqubed anyday 2700 watts clean right there for 332 shipped OP.

Fsd 2600 is 307 shipped from Soundrive. Best bet

Pretty sure I would have to upgrade my electrical either way I go Lol. I'm on stock everything and I don't even have the big 3 done yet but that's coming really soon. So the fsd would be just as good as the SQ amps?

Electrical upgrades yes...that will help for sure. I've got a B2 Audio Mono that has clamped over 2k at 1 ohm. I've been asking $350 shipped. If you are looking for closer to 2500 watts at 1 ohm then look into the FSD amps. That's a lot of wattage for a single 12 HDC312. Definitely get your electrical right though to maintain stable voltage for the amp. If you want pictures of the B2 amp and are interested text me at 701-520-1387. Good Luck man

So maybe just big 3 I would be OK? Or looking at getting a second battery? I believe my alt is 110 stock.

 

[jasonbillnelson 10+ year member]

if you look at my signature, that's what is in my car right now with big 3 and two AGM batteries. I don't see voltage drop below 13.5 at idle. My amp does over 2k at 14.4v. I'd suggest 1/0 Big 3 and at least small second battery. My BT-35 I scored used for $55. The alternator I snagged was the expensive part and that's a 320 amp. Just make sure you have a voltmeter to watch your drops.

And if you want that B2...Let me know. Solid amp. They are $499 direct from B2 Audio.

Would I notice a pretty big difference adding another 1k Watts to a single sub? I mean I don't wanna have to upgrade all my electrical and buying a bigger amp if I'm not gonna notice a big difference.

 

[jasonbillnelson 10+ year member]

In my experience tossing another 1k to that sub you may gain a single decibel or 2 at the most.... you'd be better off adding a second sub if you are trying to get even louder or sticking with what you have for now and sound deaden the car/truck you have it in. Deadening properly in the right areas will help when it comes to getting louder too. I have plenty of deadener in my Nitro.

But its your money man. Snag an amp now...upgrade electrical as you can...deaden...add woofers... It all comes down to what money you can set aside and throw at the audio system. I started with a 10 on 1k and after a few other setups I made my way to 2 12's on 2k but I added a bunch into my electrical.

FSD2600 looks like a pretty good bang for your buck. It dynos around 2700. @SounDrive has them for sale right now less than $310 shipped. I just picked one up for myself.

Also, be sure to check the classified section, guys will be selling their used equipment for much cheaper than new. Also venders will post sales.

Lol maybe I forgot to mention this is going in a 350z so there is no adding another woofer....I had to use the spare tire room just to get this one to fit in a ported box.

Well with that being said....buying a bigger amp would be ok for now and then upgrading to a heavy hitting 12" later will help as well. Still suggest at least the big 3, second battery if you plan to run more power, and deadener in the car. You could always drop down to two beefy 10's ported to get more cone area and motor force than a single 12". might take up a tad more space in the 350Z but if you want to be louder that will do it.
