Small form factor amp 500-1000 watts

[agarabaghi 10+ year member]

I'm looking for something to push a sundown sa10 in a small sealed box. I have the DVC 2ohm version so my wiring options are 1ohm and 4 ohm. I currently have a jl j2 360.2 which will do ~360w/rms @ 4ohm ... My space is limited so the amp needs to be pretty small.

Should I just keep the 360 or look for something to push a little more power to the sa10

Stetsom has some pretty small amps that put out a lot of power Stetsom

Look st the audio pipe apsm line if on a budget as well.

how are those audio pipe amps?

The 1300 and 1200 might work for me.

A lot of people like the ap minis. They are strappable too so if you get 2 of the 1300's you have 2000w @ 2 ohms.

nice and they sure are cheap. I might have to see if the 1300 will fit on my rack. thanks!

I just bought a 1300 to run a pair of 12's at 1 ohm

Hoping to install it soon.

I have read a lot of good feedback on the amp

It is TINY - smallest sub amp I have ever owned

The massive audio nano series amp are also very small, look good and sound great.. I know a guy that's running 1 massive audio n3 amp (no taller than a cd and probably only a cd and a half long) to 3 sa12's @ 1ohm and he has been for about a yr now with absolutely no problems. I've always been curious on those audiopipe mini's tho and the price you can get them at is unbeatable.. the massive amps are a little pricier but it was just a recommendation as well. And also on your current amp, I think it'd do fine if you didn't want to spend anymore money.. it'd be a great daily driving setup and wouldn't overpush your sub so I think that way would work fine as well

Follow up after you get it in if you don't mind, I'd like to hear more about it. I might buy one

i have one, it was on two re audio se10d4. its now on a mb pwe354 @2ohm=600wrms, sub not 'broke in' yet, but i like it. it underpowered the re's, i didnt want to run it at 1ohm. treats the 354 just fine. and yes it is small as hell, it also haves a built in fan.

Yea, this install is going into a boat though. I think ill try my j2 360.2 on the sa10 first and go from there. The massive audio n2 looks nice also, unfortunately it doesn't have pre outs which i need since im also running a Cadence A7HC on an RE SX. I guess technically i could run a Y splitter from the PPI E.DZ eq but I would think the Audio Pipe might be a better choice since it has the Preouts ... what do yall think?

I Have a Massive Audio N4 for sale. Its used for about a month or two, but like new. Does 2000 @ 1ohm. You could also wire it up to 4ohm if the 1ohm rating is too much. Looking for $275 shipped and Paypaled. I have a FS thread with pics.

Ill have to measure, but i dont think i have enough room for the N4
