[robertq 10+ year member]

[Deeper_shades 10+ year member]

I wouldnt choose either.

 

[robertq 10+ year member]

other options then?

Sundown audio

saz-1500

very underrated amp.

Whats your budget

 

[Deeper_shades 10+ year member]

Oh you only have one of them d6's?

Sundown audio

saz-1000 would be a good match.

Dimond audio aint that bad, did a recent install with some of their stuff

$1600 for the entire system but lookn to spend around 350 for the amp

Kickers are underrated that would be a good choice it would do probably 1200-1300 @ 2 ohms but I don't know how much your paying for it.. You could get an audiopipe with same power new and cheap with a 1 year warranty or an mb quart Or an aq if you get two try and get two 4 ohm that way you can bridge them for 4 or 1 ohms daily lots of options for 1k+ at 1 ohm daily mb quart dsc 1500.1 is only $220. two 2 ohms would be fine though bridge for 2 or .5 ohms daily but .5 daily is hard on an amp... But 1k + at 2 ohms is just as easy to find just not as cheap as 1k+ at 1 ohms

Save your money sundown is good but for 1500 watts you could get a mb quart dsc 1500.1 for $220 or their newer version of it which is mb quart onx 1500.1 which does 1k+ at 2 ohms.. Both amps are underrated just like sundown and perform just as well

lulz

 

[robertq 10+ year member]

am looking at $316 for the kicker

 

[Wildbillpb 10+ year member]

or that you can get that mb quart dsc and save 95 bucks or get the newer version onx 1500.1D and save 15 bucks both come with 1 year warranties and are 1 ohm stable. That kicker is only 2 ohm stable if you wire in parallel you need a 1 ohm stable series you need would not but even if you planned on wiring it series for a 4 ohm load you still get more bang for your buck and headroom with the mb quart. Also if you decide to upgrade subs later on the mb quart has more options being 1 ohm stable and 1500 watts

You can get a used Saz 1500 for I think $350 but again it's used, they are good if you want to buy two and strap them though. If I was doing comps I would do that cause they are good solid amps, but if I was doing comps i would have better subs than I do that could take that. I hear they take .5 ohms I don't know for how long. You would need to get good electrical to run it at .5 well
