[QUOTE="Frank H, post: 8434383, member: 667000"] I am upgrading my amp from an Alpine m1005 (1000 watts mono at 2ohm). This amp has served me well over the years. With this new woofer though, I have to crank up the gain in order to have the bass boost off and still hear the thing. Gain is at .2v right now. I am running a Sundown Audio X12 (v2) dual 4 wired at 2 ohm (v2 is rated at 1500w). Bought this woofer when I didnt plan to upgrade amps, or I would have went dual 2 for a 1 ohm load... well at least I think I would have, but since I dont much understand resistance or rise, I would have asked for help there too. So here I am with this dilemma. I am considering a couple amps. Taramps HD3000.1, HD3000.2 and also considering the FSD 3800. The Taramps 3000.1 would give me 2040 watts at 12.6 volts at 2ohm. Would leave me with options if I decided to change stuff in the future. The Taramps 3000.2 would give me 3000 at 12.6 volts at 2 ohm. Would have a bunch of overhead power. I do not plan to upgrade or change woofers any time soon so not sure why I am considering the 1ohm version. But here to get opinions. I also see that FSD is up and coming and only $425 for the 3800. It would put me at 2150w at 2ohm. I have the big 3 with 0g OFC, 2 YellowTop batteries and am in the process of ordering a Singer alt (debating 240a or 275a) [/QUOTE]
