need amp ideas for 4 sundown audio sa-8 v2

[QueSound15 10+ year member]

you need at least 3000 watts rms power for those. get an amp that puts out close to that power or more at 1 ohm.

i was just looking at the saz3000 and wired at 1ohm like what everyone was recomending its rated at 1500w is that gonna be too much?

 

[skippy90210 10+ year member]

sorry i didnt see your post above so basicly the one i was just looking at is only half the power needed?

That can't be right...^^^

an SAZ3000 would be a great match for those sub though.

I'm been giving my AS 15's over 1200 watts RMS for almost a year now, don't be afraid to give those SA 8's more than rated.

If you can afford that 3500 do it to it man.

my bad thats for the saz1500d

 

[skippy90210 10+ year member]

it seems to be that the saz3000d is discontinued

 

[Jerhemy 10+ year member]

they still appear in the classified section from time to time if you don't mind buying used.

Most importantly, what's your electrical?

 

[skippy90210 10+ year member]

My wiring is all stock but im gonna run 0 gauge and get a ho alternator and kinetic batteries if i have to

 

[pro-rabbit 5,000+ posts]

Here is another thing to consider.

You do not need any particular power to run any sub(s). You will need to design the enclosure according to your goals and what power you can safely run. Those subs will work just fine and get very loud in an efficient enclosure with out the need for tons of power.

there is a crescendo 3kwp on here for 450 bucks its an amazing amp and identical to the saz-3k. it as also warrantied at .5 ohm and the warranty was transferable lol. but im sure its over the 2 year. but i would jump on that amp for the price its a steal for you.

and it comes with the terminal blocks from tool maker //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

3KWP Monoblock

here are the specs

I wouldnt do 4 of these on a 1.5k they want more power than that. I helped my brother put 2 sa-8v.2s on a crescendo 2k in his car and the have been handling the 2k just fine for almost a year now, not a single problem and they never get hot to the touch or bottom out or anything. Is there a reason youre going with 4 8's? are you limited on space? In my personal experience 8's are kind of a novelty thing. I would only use an 8's if i was limited on space. I think its alot easier to get louder with bigger sub's. Yes 8's can get loud but its much easier to get loud with bigger subs
