Recommend me an Amp for 2 RE SE 10's

[94'BLKBRD 10+ year member]

Adding another 10'' re se sub to my camaro. Right now I'm using a Kicker 750.1 amp for my RE SE 10'' sub. I'm looking for 1500-1700 RMS at 2ohms, don't know if that's too much for two 10's.

My budget is around $350.

getting that power @ 2 ohms rather than one limits your options quite a bit

it does it does^^^^ it will be lots more monies.

that hifonics should give you say between 1200 and 1400@ 2 ohms rms on good electrical, so it will pair up nicely. but make sure you have the electrical setup to back up the power.

What needs to be upgraded to run an amp at 1 ohm? I'm a audio noob.

 

[dadydolas 10+ year member]

well you dont have to upgrade to run at any certain ohm load its just when you start getting up over 1000 watts rms you have to watch to make sure your voltage isnt dropping too low. if so you can upgrade your battery, alternator, add more batteries.

 

[dadydolas 10+ year member]

you will probably be ok with that amp on stock, but if you notice your lights dimming badly than i would back down the gain a little till you can upgrade

im assuming your subs are dual 4 ohms and thats why you asked for that power at 2 ohms?

Correct.

There's an Orion 2500d amp in the classifieds going for 350+shipping

1700 watts at 2ohms

Seems like a good deal. What do you guys think?

I have an Optima red top and Big three(0 gauge) on my car. I saw no gains with the big 3 so I'm thinking my alternator is weak. My voltage drops when I turn on the a/c. I'm getting a 200 amp alternator pretty soon so that's a problem.

Wait what? If you have two d4 subs you can only wire to 1 ohm! Don't know why you'd run at 2...it's just going to cost you twice as much money and you'd need two d2 subs.

There are a bunch of amps that'll give you 1500-1800 at 1 for cheap.

Where in socal are you?

I saw a wiring diagram on crutchfield.com showing 2 subs at 2ohms. I may be wrong though.

I'm in Moreno Valley(next to Riverside).

Nope, you saw the wrong diagram.

Two d2's will wire to .5 or 2.

Two d4's will wire to 1 or 4.
