[QUOTE="Remme, post: 8833651, member: 688438"] Looking for any info/experience/review/opinion of amps to run a single SQL-12 D2 (1000rms/ wired @ 1 ohm) in a ported enclosure (1.7ish ft^3 @ 24ish Hz) in a 2007 Cadillac STS V6 w/ stock electrical (155-160 amp alt. + Big 3 and utilizing 1/0 awg OFC for the p/g). The amplifiers I am currently debating on are as follows (and in no particular order): **Ampere Audio AA-1200.1d** Pros: -1200 @ 1 ohm -High efficiency -24 db slope -Tiffany RCAs -Bass knob -Size -Aesthetics -Price- approx. $240ish on D4S Cons: -only 90 amps of fuse (makes me think it will do 1200 rms but there is not much overhead.) -Little to no reviews online(that I can find) **Cadence QR1000.1** Pros: -1000 @ 1 ohm -120a of fusing -Tiffany RCAs -Bass knob -Size -Price (About $225 on eBay & Cadence's own website) -Nice looking Cons: -Brand quality -Enough power? -Limited reviews/info on the interwebs. **US Acoustic MIKE** Pros: -1500 @ 1 ohm -S/N Ratio of 101db -160 amps of fusing -Tiffany RCAs - Plenty of people who worship the brand (info galore) -Has my name on it. Cons: -Priciest of the choices ($305-$329) -Larger size (for my build at least) **Crescendo Symphony S1V2** Pros: -Power! 1650 @ 1 ohm (13.8v) -150A recommendation -Tiffany RCAs -18db slope -Korean board -Size -Bass knob Cons: -Brand recognition? -Too powerful for stock electrical system? -Not the prettiest of amps. -Price (2nd most expensive. $265 for subwoofer version/ $249 for full range) ***If anyone has any other suggestions I am open to opinions. I even contemplated say a Rockford Fosgate r2-1200.1 but that's really stretching the budget*** [/QUOTE]
