i wouldnt go up to 2k unless your doing big 3 electrical upgrades etc.

Refurbished Cadence DCA1600 3200 Watt Peak Class D Mono Block Amplifier | eBay

amazing amp super effecient and will sound amazing, top of the line pre-amp circuitry 24db crossover, low thd and high dampening, amazign amp that was american made.

CADENCE TXA1000D 1000w RMS MONO AMPLIFIER+WIRE KIT NEW (TXA1000D+WK41) | eBay

if sq is what u want then this bad boy is the one id get, class a/b amazing sound but its big over 2 feet long and comes with amp install kit

personally id get the daytona, it was their top of the line amp and is american made before they went to korea and china, cadence is clearing out a lot of their old stock and u can be a lucky person to get this rare amp

some other good amps

SAX-1200D SUNDOWN AUDIO AMP 1CH 2400W MAX SUB AMPLIFIER | eBay

MMATS Amplifier Class D D1600.0 1ohm stable | eBay

this would be the best amp, and most effecient amp if money is not a problem, this is the amp i would go with.

then again if you want to go up 2 2000 watts the easiest way to do it is with this

MMATS Amplifier Class D m2000.1 1ohm stable | eBay

mmatsamps are extremely effecient

so for the money id get the cadence dca it is their top of the line and was a 500 dolalr amp but its old stock, but if money isnt the problem id get the mmats d1600.1 brand new only like 11 inches by 6 inched iirc and super effecient. made in florida by west palm

no capacitor, waste of money get an additional battery or nothing, or a batcap

im sure hes not going to be competing in a sq comp.. and amp are important. lets compare a 1600 boss amp to a dc 1.5 which would be better?? and capacitors really wont help so just a waste of money... what kind of vehicle do you have

Does anyone know if I will have battery problems with a 1000w amp?

 

[mylows10 5,000+ posts]

really depends on the amp ,some draw more power than others ,but with 1000 watts if you do the big 3 you shouldn't have an issue.

actually the car wasn't an spl car ,and i do know hat i'm talking about.i've been installing longer than you prolly have been alive ,so , slow your role .and for your info it's the box and amp ,but thats just for starters ,if it's an sq set up you must take all components into the equation ,not just box and amp.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/spank.gif.0d78e34d42ea8780359e903aeb6697d6.gif

What's the difference between a mono amp and an amp with more than one channel? Are there any benefits to having more channels?

 

[mylows10 5,000+ posts]

usually a 2 channel of 4 channel amp are class a-b amps ,and aren't as efficient as the class d mono block ,which means that they draw more power than a d class with the same power rating.and may not sound as good at higher volumes

 

[Danger Ranger93 10+ year member]

How do you hook up more than one sub to a mono block amp if it only has one speaker output?

 

[mylows10 5,000+ posts]

there diagrams that you can download for help.really depends on the amp stability and the woofers ohm impedance
