Need help choosing amps

[manslayer 10+ year member]

I need help picking out some amps to power my in-progress setup. I plan to have 2 10" Alpine Type- X subs in separate ported boxes. Also, I plan to get a Kicker Solo X 12" sub. The Type-X's are 1000 watts RMS each and the Kicker is 2500 watts RMS. I would like get a mono amp for each sub, but if I could get an amp that will do 2000 watts RMS at 2 ohms, then I would like to do that.

So, what are your suggestions?

Does anyone have any experience with this amp? I'm not familiar with all of these brands, just the mainstream ones.

It has 1200 RMS at 4 ohms, 1700 at 2 ohms, and 2000 at one ohm.

i wouldn't buy that amp. what's your budget, and do you have the charging system to support 2000wrms+?

also, when you say you're buying the type xs' and the solo x, please say it's not for the same install.

Maybe it is...

Lol, no, they're for two separate installs. The solo x for my Acura Legend and the type x's for my chevrolet cobalt.

I haven't bought anything, so that means no charging system. I don't have a budget right now, just trying to see what people reccomend and then I'll go from there.

could look into an audioque 2200d for the type xs', maybe a kicker zx2500 for the solo x.

Sundown amps, used 1500d can be had for right at $300, super solid amps

Yea, that zx2500 is looking pretty good to me...

For tha audioque, would I have to buy dual 2 ohm type x's or dual 4 ohm type x's to wire it down to 1 ohm? Sorry, never dealt with a 1 ohm load.

you'll want a pair of dual 4ohm subs to wire to 1ohm.
