Dont know what that means but ill do some research haha.

Go to the12volt.com and look up "setting gains, the dmm method."

diamond audio d5 1200.1 - Car Audio Classifieds this is a nice used amp in your price range also.

I think I will. What should I do with my old amp? toss it?

If you have an ebay account sell it on ebay. Someone will buy it to fix and resell lol.

I'd go for a ba 5000 if i were you. Those lanzar opti subs actually take a good bit of power, you'll be underpowering it with the 2600. However with the ba 5000, make sure you learn how to set your gains properly and read up on clipping and distortion.

Huh?

It's an 1100w sub. That amp is rated for 1300 and does not appear to be over-rated considering the 3x40A fuses.

The 2600 is MORE than powerful enough for that sub.

The amps are overrated, even the BA 7000.1 is clamped and good for 2k-2.5k despite the 3.5k watt claims, still great for the money though. Pretty sure its the same story with the 2600. Better to have overhead in this case. Accounting for amplifier efficiency after rise and voltage drops the ba 5000 would be a much better choice.

I have two 1232d's.

One in my DD, one in my home theater.

DD gets 1000w rms (rated) from a high quality, stiffly regulated, under-rated amp. 3cf tuned at 29 IIRC.

HT gets 500 in a big box tuned to the mid 20's.

It's pretty pointless going much over 1kw. You might find a fraction of a dB in a narrow bandwidth -- I'd be surprised if there's any audible improvement going from 1200 to 1500. But you'd be increasing the likelyhood of damaging it substantially.

I just don't see the point.
