quick question about my set-up! need ur opinions/suggestions

ok so i have dual soundstream T4-15's in a sealed box running off a 1100 watt powerzone crunch amp. i have a feeling that my subs are way under powered. b4 i have 2 15" boss blades powered by a fury ssl 2000 watt amp an i only needed to turn the volume up to like 30. this amp i have now i need to turn it up to like 55-60. ive maxed out my volume b4 with perfect sound. i just know they can take more power then 1100. ill post my subs an amp specs an u tell me what watt amp i should get or any specific kind of amp u suggest that would be good for these subs. i know from videos that these subs are suppose to flex hard core but i get small ammount of flex meaning not much power.

Get a line driver that matches the max voltage input of the amp.

Read up on line drivers and what they do.

You are not getting the most out of your amp, I can tell by the fact that you didn't mention the amp's gains or the head unit's pre-amp voltage.

DO RESEARCH!

Ok you just said the sub you are running is rated @ 1000 watts rms...you are putting like 200 watts or less to it...Doesn't that answer your problem?

(2 x dual 1 ohm voice coil subs can be wired to either 1 ohm or 4 ohms, since that amp is not 1 ohm stable it is running @ 4 ohms which is around 200watts rms per channel.)

Look into a 2,500 watt rms amp to power the pair of subs, and have it professionally installed/adjusted.

For reference your amp costs about $75 brand new....A 2,500 watt rms amp is going to cost about $500 used from the classifieds section.

... what amps are you looking at, as i'm sure they aren't true 2.5k/3kw amps if they are in the same league as previous ones mentioned.
