Need Help Deciding on amp choices.

[rvpjuv20]

I need help deciding on what amp or amps to buy. Little bit about my setup:

 

I drive a 97 honda civic, I am running a alpine deck model#CDA-9805.

 

I bought a pair of 12" eclipse SW8122DVC aluminum subs.

 

So I was wondering what kinda amp I should run to get the most out of these subs.

 

Also was wondering what you guys think about eclipse subs.

 

Thanks

Ryan.

Eclipse subs are very nice.

What is your budget for the amp? Check out Hifonics, Concept, Power Acoustik, and Visonik for affordable power.

I'm looking to spend like 500 or a little more. But ima make the subs run 1 ohm so i'll need a good amp with 1 ohm stable that can also power each 1000watt sub. So if anyone has any good links let me know. Thx

All the brands I previously listed have D Class amps that will get the job done. What subs do you have.

I am running 2 12" eclipse aluminum DVC's.. I am going to be running them at 1ohm. Let me know specific links to where I can buy or read about them. Thx.

try Memphis or JL Audio

Ya, 60_cent has the right idea, for your budget you may want to complent your quality subs with a higher quality amp.

High quality doesnt mean more power just better built and more prestige. Another 2 to look at are the Orion 1200d and the Kicker 1200.1d

actually if you look on http://www.millionbuy.com you can see that they are selling SS Rubicon 1002's for very cheap, that is an awsome amp for all around, and I have Eclipse Aluminums also, so Iwould know //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Well i ended up buying a visonik V900HC 3200 watts to 1ohm.. If this doens't work out for me ill get one of the ones u listed above. But what do you guys think about this amp?

 

[denim 5,000+ posts]

its a decent amp, the people that have done well with Visonik HC amps have had to send unreal amounts of current to win, as in 17 volts, but its a strong amp no doubt just currnet hungry

Ok now heres the the new question..

Ok so I have two Aluminum eclipses rated at 500watts rms 1000watts max.

I have a visonik V900HC rated at a max of 1ohm bridged 3200 1channel watts or 4ohm stereo 750watts rms 2 channel.

Now i was wondering which would be better to run the 1 ohm bridge with my two DVC Subs, or Running 4ohm (which the subs are) to each channel.

If you have any opinions on which would be better let me know.. Both have more then enough watts for the subs.

Thanks!
