Just remember the 500rms is underated ..I was giving my sa 12's 800 watt daily ..sold to my nephew still giving them 800 watt ..still going 3 yrs strong

They was rated at 600 rms

well 1000 bucks for an amp is alot but considering i was gonna buy 4 of those kenwood amps at 200 a peice an extra 200 bucks would be worth it because that looks like one hell of an amp and what do you mean by @.5?? im new to everything in car audio

your not going to find a good enough 4 channel or 2 channel for the price. you dont need 4 mono-block amps for 4 subs. you can run 1 mono amp on all four, just have to wire it right. are you getting d4 or d2 subs?

i would agree to get a solid 3000rms amp. those subs take every bit of 1000 each, just feed them clean power

[skippy90210 10+ year member]

so your saying not to buy those subs? if not what subs should i buy? i was looking to stay with the 4 8's idea

ya all the wiring and that is no problem to me

your going to be spending a lot in electrical upgrades to be able to power those subs properly. yes get the dual 2 ohm versions if you want to wire to 1, which is recommended.

We did 4 SA8's on a 3500 a few times..works pretty well. If you plan to run that much power though, you need to consider electrical upgrades to go along with it.

I would keep the 8's if that is what you want, but look around the classifieds for a used amp perhaps... You could look at the SoundQubed 2200 or 3500 both will do very well on those 8s.

i will buy a new amp thats not an issue really im just really confused on what amp will work the best with 4 sa-8 v2's
