Need more power!

i just bought my 3rd infinity kappa perfect dual 4 ohm voice coils subwoofer and the 2 i had were wired in 4ohm on my fosgate p8002 amp and it knocked pretty good, but does anyone have an amp in mind that would push enough power for a 1ohm load to these 3 woofers???or a 2.67 ohm but i prefer 1 =)

whats your price range

is it possible to wire 3 D4 subs to a 1ohm load?

on a side note.. with that amp.. you were putting about 200 watts rms per sub and they are rated at 400 rms per sub so maybe put more power on each sub this time to really unlock their potential.

it would be a smart thing for me to pick a fosgate t10001bd mono amp over http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_4239.html that rite???

I'd go with the BXi 1606D. I have it's little brother and it looks great and has plenty of power.

the fosgate isnt going to put out enough power to really push those subs for optimal sound

i could be wrong but I don't think its possible to wire 3 dual VC 4ohm subs to 1ohm. So that only really leaves 2.6ohm set up. Now, those speakers are rated at 400rms so that means you want about 1200rms @ 2.6 ohms or close to it to really get the best out of them. So if it were me.. i would get the Infinity Reference 1211a amp... but that's my opinion about it.

2.667 or .6667 ohms.

Any respectable 1ohm stable amplifier should be okay after rise, but still... be careful.

also...its ok to hook a 2ohm amp up with a 2.6 ohm load rite?
