i need an amp for my dd3512 DVC

And on proper power of course coming from the dd1512 to 3512. Is that a night and day upgrade. Yes lots of factors are considered but my box is very large ported designed for my car make and model. So very custom box. The 1512 sounds good. But I want to hammer the lows a bit more.

 
This ^ but nendo

You may wanna ask your dealer if its a d4 or d2 if you don't have a dmm to check .. Kinda need to know what ohm it will be able to wire too to know what amp ya need

He said the m1c would b a perfect match for that sub. But I can find out tomorrow. So I'm gonna be doing that. But 500 for that amp is outrageous imo

So prolly a d2 wires to one ohm ... A multimeter can be had for 10$ at wallgreens bright yellow one usually ... You set it to ohms put the red and black probes onto the leads and you'll get a reading say each side reads 4 then you have a d4 woofer ... I suggest you do a YouTube search try how to read sub coils with a dmm or something along those lines .. a dmm will become your friend lol use for batts checking voltage .. Setting gains etc. .. Trust me 10$ you will not regret spending

 
Those are nice as well but not on dd sq or nendos 2k amp level ... Just saying
Have you auditioned them live? What about their full range amps in a quality build? I've gone from old school Diamond Audio to CT on my mids and I'm VERY concerned with the sound quality of my system.

Just sayin. ;-)

No haven't touched there multi Chanel's or monos I've tried the other mentioned tho and seen the ct clamps .. That's how I knew not to waste my money ... Now there bigger mono's that's a diff story waiting to see how those perform more before I pass judgment

Well when the 3512 comes in I will do that. Its being built and then they gotta send it to my dd dealer. Lol. So it'll b like 3 weeks before I have the 3512. And so i wait.... Ddm meter is a good idea. I need to learn. I have things installed for me I'm lame....

We all start somewhere bro .. And three weeks **** took dd not even a week to build my 95's ... That was with shipping too .. And if its being built shoot him a call tomorrow and make sure you are going with a d2 woofer it will be cheapest to power .. Since it will wire to one ohm ..

Clamp tests are not accurate at all, as the formula used is a DC formula on an AC circuit. They almost always report more power than the amp is producing though, so I'm wondering if the problem you have with them is that they produce too much power over rated or that they're too inexpensive to produce that much over rated?

But either way, when your methodology is flawed any conclusions drawn from those false premises are also, necessarily, flawed.

And keep in mind, Coleman didn't go out and find some new build house with some new board design that had never been tried and tested before by some other manufacturer. There is a lot less diversity in the nuts and bolts of electronics than most people would believe.

Just sayin...

So your saying the tests I've seen with the smaller amps is invalid ... Because they were proof enough for all the other amps tested ... Are you saying a amp dyno is no good ? Are you saying the people I know that have owned them are liars ? I'm confused here because I'm not spending 20 min trying to make my post sound smart am I supposed to bow down to you ... Lol bottom line the 1200/1400 isn't gunna out perform or even hang with sq 2200 or a m2b no matter how much you save buying and how tight you cross them fingers .. So just quit now while u still look smart

Just sayin;)

 
I didn't say otherwise I just saw you asking for help and was trying to give ya some advice is all ..
I was gonna say I've never done anything on my own... And this is what incan afford. Lol. I used to have focal 165kps up front and an eclipse amp to power them.... I think I'm down grading this set up. Lol And thnx for Ur help and everyone for that matter.
