Audiopipe AP1800 Get 2 or go for Soundstream rub2500.1?

also keep in mind this is pretty low voltage. the best ive seen out it is 3k or alittle over but he had a beefy electrical system

that amp was rated 2k at 12v, iirc...wayy underrated....I like those, and amps like the Crossfires, B2's, DD, etc rated at 12v

too bad most of us cannot afford to shop based on 12v ratings and the doubling of power gains as impedance drops..those are the expensive amps.

yea i know. the amps are beast. thats what i was trying to explain to OP. he said he needs more then 2k. but i guess he is underestimating the db drive

Help me out I don't know if I should go for another audiopipe 1800 and strap them or get another amp entirely. I'm powering a skar audio ZVX-15 Dual 2 Ohm 1500 rms subwoofer 3" VC. Box around 4 cubes tuned to 40 hz. I was looking at the Soundstream 2500.1 but my buddy says to go big like a 4k amp. I'm a little skeptical to do this due to electrical issues with a honda civic. I have 2 batteries including a 1200 amp 120 amp hr battery for backup. Electrical is an issue due to stock alt. Can I go 4k big? Or should I stick to my plan with the rub2500? If I strap the AP I'm most likely looking at 2.5k anyway for only another 190 bucks, unclipped power. I like the AP but I know it sees nowhere neer 1800 more like 1200 unclipped at 12 volts. Budget it around 300 bucks.

also just seen another guy clamp his doing 2400rms @ 1.9ohms on 12.9v.... the amps only rated for 1000rms @ 2 ohm if that doesnt let you know this amp is serious idk what will
