I'm putting together a complete system.

I got the D4, i can go up on the budget.

Go with an alpine or kicker 1000/1200/1500 that does power at 2 ohms

Jeff, what do you think about the ZRX3216? He can wire it at 2 ohms right now and later get another sub and wire it at 1.

So i want at least 1200w rms? Or more?

Just to give you an idea, I ordered the D2 version for my friend last year and he's pushing it with my old amp:

1500 should be fine, but if you get less power, you can compensate by having a larger box.

No on that x 1000. Zues amps are no different then power acoustik.

Difference between a good amp and a cheap amp is a lot. That zuess at 1 ohm would be enough for a single hds 1200

Jesus, that amps $1000??

Not sure why, maybe they're considered antiques now. They were selling brand new for around $500 about 10yrs ago. It's a great sounding, long lasting amp. Power hog and very inefficient being class A/B. You don't need that one though.

MB Quart RA2000.1 Reference Series 2000W Monoblock Amplifier

Hows this amp?

 

[ArmyNavyCopGuy]

American Bass HD2500 2500W RMS Class D Monoblock HD Series Car Amplifier

Or this one?

 

[ArmyNavyCopGuy]

Audiopipe APMI-2000 (apmi2000) 2000W Monoblock APMI Series Class

Or this one. I keep seeing these amps on the HDS3 videos. Also saw a couple reviews on here and other forums about it being great @ 2ohms but not so great at .5

You are looking at junk. There is no regulation here. If it looks to good to be true it is.

Here's something I don't get. How do you separate the output of the interior speakers, and the sub itself?

Do you have experience with those amps?

Where I'm from people go cheap. Then they get tired of it being crap and get better.

There are always diamonds in the rough. Going cheap isn't always a bad thing. That's held true for just about any hobby I've ever been a part of.
