[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8617581, member: 650438"] If you are running a 5k at 1 ohm, there is no reason for you to buy 2500 rms subs. Hence why the ssa Xcon 18 or zv5s (B stock)would be more suited for that kind of power. You'll get the excursion you want compared to bigger subs being barely tickled and barely wiggling. For an amp, the best one for the money right now is a vital power 700.1 Literally destroys amps that cast 1.5x as much in terms of quality, reliablity, power output, heat management etc... No sense in paying the same amount of money for an inferior 5k amp. With more power you can just lower the gain and never worry about putting out dirty power to your subs. I'd always get more power than needed to avoid any sort of dirty signal issues. Especially if you arent going to be slacking on the electrical upgrades. You dont have to spend a lot to get good results. [/QUOTE]
