[QUOTE="sporter, post: 1301976, member: 564820"] okay im trying to make some choices about an amp: i'm liking the looks of an [B]Orion 1200d [/B]- is this too powerful, or can i set the gain lower to keep from overpowering the subs? it would also give me the option of adding another sub later (but i won't do this for quite a long while im sure). if this amp would be bad for running two subs please tell me also thinking about a [B]Rockford Fosgate Power T10001bd[/B], which would be a little bit less power the Orion. i know these are good amps from what ive read and heard about them. would this be a good choice? or still too much power at the 1.5 ohm load. these are also a bit more expensive, so if anyone can recommend some cheaper alternatives i'd appreciate it! another amp i've run across is the [B]Directed D800[/B]. i don't know anything about directed... can anyone tell me anything about the brand, and whether or not this would be a good amp to run? its one ohm stable, and the wattage seems close to appropriate. would i be better off just going with a two channel amp? i was sticking with mono because i was having a hard time figuring out the what the impedance would be if i wired each sub to a different channel - would each sub (wired seperately to each channel, parallel) run at 3 ohms? if so, would the amp see 6 ohms coming from both channels or what... i really dont know what im talking about - maybe someone could explain how i could drive the subs from a dual channel amp, or if i should just stick with the mono [/QUOTE]
