copped?

Is that like copping a feel?

Good luck matching power with dual 2 ohm subs and a single amp since your final load will either be .5 ohms or 2 ohms.

Then again, in your case I would either run dual amps.... one per sub @ 1 ohm each, or strap a pair together at 2 ohms. Regardless of what anyone else says on here.... I don't recommend .5 ohm as a final load for ANY amplifier on a daily basis.

ETA: If you were competing and had a strictly dedicated competition vehicle, .5 would be fine and there are a few amps that are designed with a .5 ohm load in mind!

kicker zx1500.1 peaks at 2 ohms and would provide 750 watts per sub. im not a fan of kicker by any means though.

i would just run 2 amps and put each sub in a different enclosure unless amps are strapped.

Lol yeah... I copied this right off urban dictionary:

1. cop

to get, recieve, purchase, steal, or have.

"Yo im about to cop a drink, want one?"

Anyways, I edited my orig post.. talked to the guy I purchased them from and changed the order to 2 IDMAX10 D4's.. a buddy recommended this one to me:

yay...? nay...?

The Audioque is probably one of the best values going right now. IMHO you will be hard pressed to beat the "bang for your buck" factor with AQ, unless Zenon decides to flood the US market with their own generic amps!

i think you will be very happy with that audioque amp. Make sure you do some electrical upgrades though

check classifieds here. im sure there are a few in there. i have seen quite a few i believe

however what are your goals for this set up before we suggest a more spl based amp. do you want more spl or are you going for sq?

SQ takes priority for me

 

[Brian_smith06 10+ year member]

that plays a huge factor then. do you plan to seal port or go ib with it? if you run ib you will not very much power at all to get that sound your going for.

either way i suppose that audioque will fit the bill. thats why there is a gain on an amp

 

[hollowch]

yeah for SQ im def sealing it.. Im in the process of building the box in my driveway. Lack of tools = FML

 

[Brian_smith06 10+ year member]

i hear you on lack of tools //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif i would say with as efficient as these subs are whatever you put to them it'll sound great. i only have one of mine installed right now in a large ported box tuned to 29hz and even though the box isnt built to specs it is incredibly accurate. i have 750 going to mine right now. once the other sub comes i'll be powering both of them with my dls a6 amp and each sub will receive 600 watts. i plan to go ib though.

oh and i def want some pics once your done building //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif i love idmax builds
