I know im probably stupid but would that amp be way too much power for 2 alpine type r's 2ohm+2ohm at 2 ohm? Im just wondering. That amp looks great and im looking to push my subs a little harder...
Also... if an amp is 1 ohm stable... does that mean its also .5 ohm stable? I've never seen an amp that say .5 ohm stable but if the subs can be wired that way i think its weird that... i dont know

I think the amp would work great for those subs. It wont be putting out 1000w with 2ohms impedance. If Im not mistaken I beleive it does 500X1 at 2ohms. So basically your going to be running right about RMS for those subs. It should sound great. Also, in the future if you want to upgrade you can always get 4ohm DVC's and use the full 1000w. Like I said, I recommend this amp from personal experience so thats all I can do //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

P.S. An amp that is 1ohm stable is just that... 1ohm stable. There are VERY few amps out there that can do .5ohms mono. If you run your dvc's with your voice coils in parallel and then wire that to the amp you will be at .5ohms and you will see smoke real quick like. If you wire the voice coils in series (+ to -, + to amp, - to amp) then you'll be at 2ohms and be ok.

Bump... i just want to see what other people think of this amp?
Mine should be here with in the next week, mines going to be hooked up to an RE HC @ 1ohm. I hope its worth it.

This sucks ever since that deal everyone is gonna have a Hc..I wanted to be one of the few with it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif O well
Im considering buying one of these amps this week. How have they held up so far?
Packerfan, did it put out enough power to give your HC a workout?

The board is the same as the Lanzar Vibe 1200D. They've been indepently tested to do about 450 at 4 ohms. 750 at 2 and 1200 @ 1.
Initially (2001) the design had some technical problems, but by the 3rd build they were ironed out. Being recent refurbs I would expect them to be solid products.
Hope we get some follow up reviews to see if they last.

I have 2 dual 2 ohm elemental design 15 k's, would this tsunami amp be able to wire nicely to my subs (down to 1 ohm possibly) or should i look elsewhere? thanks for any help (i'm not very literate on wiring)

you can't get 1 ohm with a pair of dual 2's. 1/2 or 2 are your options.
