what vehicle do you drive? the factory alt will make a difference..

i have a 07 crv with a 4 cyl @ 140amp alt.. I only have 4ga running to amp, no big 3(yet),

i run an AB 4480.1 to 2 Sundown SA-12s and they sound "good"

i say good, as i only have an agm under the hood, no second battery, and lastly, only 4 ga running to the rear. that being said, clamped amp at 1100w

with 4ohm DVC subs, i think your options are .5 or 2 ohm

ive heard rumors that the AB is .5 stable. BUT you better have the electrical to back that up..

search around

Here's a tip, stick with a brand that doesn't try to deceive buyers by rating at 4-5X what it'll actually do and you'll have a reliable product that performs well and will hold some resale value when/if you ever decide to sell or upgrade.

120A of fuse protection and they're only saying 750 @ 1? How'd you get them to come clean?

Regarding your amp choice -- I don't like the idea of using two amps to do what one can easily do.

Any of those would be an improvement on Crunch.

If I was running 4 cvr d4s, my amp of choice would be a zx2500. 4 d4s = 2 ohm + ZX is 2500w @ 2 ohm = perfect combination.

Id run the AB4480.1 d....Get some electrical behind it and she will/can do some pounding

I was surprised as anyone about the email myself. I jus t sent an email to tech support. I told them whoa to had and what I was running... Where I bought the amp, that I liked it.He sent back an email. Said the amp was only 750 rms at 1 ohm and would not be good for 4 subs. Very short... To the point...

I will be doing the big 3

Getting a 250 amp alt.

And 1 battery in the trunk.

This is correct as I have my 4 subs d4 as well.

Limited on a 2 ohm final load amp because most can do 1 ohm final load.
