okay guys im new here and somewhat new to the whole car audio idea. but anyways i have an orion hcca 12" subwoofer and i need suggestions for a good amp to match it. right now i am thinking about getting the audiopipe 3000 1d. my only concerns is that i dont want to damage the sub. its rated at 2000 watts rms and 4000 peak so im wondering if its too much. i dont really think it will be but i want to confirm this from someone reliable. ive asked many people and cant seem to get a straight forward answer. any help is much appreciated

You could fit a lot in those trunks. Hit up ramdesigns to design a box for you. He does a pretty good job. Or DC creations will design or build and ship a box to you.
