Need advice, ready to buy soon.

Hi everyone,

My system is ready to go, with the exception of an amp for my 2 10" Blaupunkt GTW-1000 subs. They are single 4ohm, so will be wired to a 2 ohm load. They are rated at 200W RMS and 600W peak each. I have a Kenwood KDC-655U head unit and stock speakers for now (will upgrade those this summer.). I have an Audio Technix 4 gauge OFC wiring kit. My budget is only $125. I have a 2014 Kia Rio with stock alternator at 90 amps. I was looking at the PPI black ice series (650.1d) and the audio pipe apsm-1500. More power in the audiopipe, but price wise they are the same. I am also considering an mb Quart onyx (about $100.)

What do you guys think?

Forgot to add, the subs are going in a ported box in trunk.

Me. Probably go with the PPI amp.

Apsm1300 ?

 

[urshurak776]

1stgen, the two are similar in price. I did look at that, but for the same money the 1500 seems like the better deal. Really strange, some sellers actually list the 1300 higher than the 1500 in price. Thanks for all the help everyone.

Think I will go with the PPI. thanks again everyone.

Ok, so I had a change of plan. I was getting ready to pull the trigger on the PPI, when I ran into a friend who gave me a Memphis Audio Street Reference Amplifier SRX1250. Brand New. He said if it works out for me, buy him dinner one night when we are out. Great guy! Anyway, the RMS rating at 2 OHMS is only 250 Watts. He told me as long as it is set up correctly it would work fine on my 2 10" subs. He said he has seen the same amp push (2) Memphis 12" subs with no problem. What do you guys think? Also, I got rid of the cheapie Ported box and had a box made that fits perfectly in trunk (sealed enclosure though.)
