? about EARTHQUAKE i need advice

[DBDRAGGUY 10+ year member]

Earthquake amps are great for SPL, they are fairly cheap and not all that clean. I had 1 of of the first d2's, I worked for a earthquake dealer back in 97-98 and it was given to us by the rep. A generic black heatsink with a sticker that said "digital" on top and along the side it said made by Earthquake of San Francisco. Studly little booger benched at over 1300 watts. To answer your question of 1 or 2 amps, I would personally go with 1 large monoblock. Series em up and parallell down to 2 ohms.

a friend of mine has the PHD3 on 2-18 Audio Banhs ported tuned to 27 hz it plays super low bass and has plenty of power nice small foot print amp.

super low bass eh? too bad that low end extension has nothing to do with the amp...

i would think that 2000watts rms to each amp should do just fine.weather or not he wants to carry a 1/2ohm load on a monoblock or do a 1ohm on 2 seperate amps is the ?. im leaning in the direction of 2 monoamps. how could you wire 2 dual 2ohm subs on a D3 shedder amp unless its a 1/2 ohm stable.im not sure how to wire thses things.

i know its not the amp... my friend built/tuned the box well for that part but i was answering the power question for the fella its has plenty of power for the subs he has IMO.
i'm not a fan of the Earthquake stuff but it does the job well so i'm not repping it but not knocking it just cause i don't like em its just personal preference i'm more into AB/old school amps

I had a couple of modded D3's a while ago they were good amps. Played down to .5 without a problem. Out of all there amps I would only look at a D2 or the D3 was the best amp they made IMO. And they can be found rather cheap. I think for the price ther good amps. They are not the cleanest amps out there by far though.

Take, the positive from 1 coil and connect it to the negative of the other coil. The remaining positive and negative wires will read around 4 ohms. Do that with both subs and then put your 2 positive wires to the positive speaker terminals on the amp and the 2 negatives on the negative speaker terminal. That will allow your amp to see a 2 ohm load. Is this what you needed?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
