Is this the right choice?

So wire it at .75 with a Twisted Sounds TS1.8KW and with voltage and box rise it will see around 1400RMS im guessing?

yeah.

Can this amp handle being at .75ohms? What else amps can I look at that can handle 0.75ohms and around 1.8k of power

Would these work also?

M1d

M2c

Another rookie question I have is say I wire it to 3ohms and use the JL HD1200. With box rise using the HD 1200 after 4ohms what will the amp do? The amp only puts out 1200rms between 1.5-4ohms

Does anyone know?

doubt anyone has ever tested it below that could be 8-900 or so.. get the twisted man

why would you wire it to 3 ohm? with the impedance variance it wouldn't quite give it full power but still will give it a good deal of the 1200 watts!

if you can wire the m2 down to 1 ohm its a great amp.

Cuz the jl audio Hd1200 cant run at 0.75 ohms and the only other option is 3ohms

rise is usually double or tripled wired impedance so you are still not getting anywhere near 1200 watts. try 600-800 watts, you are never getting the power you think you might get, rise is a b*tch. Thats why I recommended a korean amp to wire to .75 ohms so you actually get around 2 ohm power after rise.

So that twisted sounds 1.8k is good or Is there a better choice or maybe even a 2k amp?

So will the twisted sounds 1.8k do sound 1000 to 800rms?

The ts 1.8k is not 1800 watts. Its way more. Didnt you watch the video i linked of the 2.8k dyno? Rated for 2800 watts but did almost 4000 watts. At .75 ohms you!ll get plenty of power

 

[IS350]

Yeah I did watch it. I'm trying to do exact calculations. With the ts1.8k with box rise and voltage drop am I looking at a 20% power loss?

First off I want to say hi to everyone as I'm new to the forums. I wanna do a simple and clean install in my 2015 Lexus IS350. Im thinking about either 1 12" or 2 10s and no greater than 1500RMS to the subs.
I have a chance to grab a JL Audio 13W7 for $375 just for the sub. I was thinking of getting it and placing it in a 2.5 net cubic box tuned to 34 hertz. And for a amp I'd probably just pick up a JL HD 1200.

This got me thinking though. With that size box I could run 2 10s but lower RMS rating between 600-750. The box could also be a bit bigger between 2.5 - 3 cubes net and tuning would be the same 34 hertz or maybe go down to 32 hertz. As for power I was thinking a true 1500RMS amp like the Rockford Fosgate T1500BDCP. I saw this box online and think its pretty good? What would you do? Take the JL W7 or go with 2 10s? I want it to be clear loud and hit lows. I do listen to rap music mostly but also listen to indian music.

My choices for the 2 10s would be

JL Audio W6v3

MTX 9500 (silver ones)

Sundown SA

DC Lv3

Alpine R Series (2017 model)

Soundqubed HDS2.1

grab the W7

Should be plenty for the w7
