lanzar 1200d or hifonics 1500d....... in that range thats the best quality youll get, if you save mroe youll get noticeable better bass froma higher quality amp...but those 2 amps i listed should do the job just fine.

How much do those amps run ? and what guage power cable would i use could i use 8 ?

 

[xluben 10+ year member]

why would you buy an amp from walmart? why do you have a jensen amp now? why do you have audiobahn subs?

that amp only does 125 Watts RMS x 2 (4 ohm) !!!!!!

and i'm sure your jensen amp is doing even less.

i'd suggest doing some research and getting decent equipment!

If ur thinking of pushing anywhere near 1,000 RMS than u need to get at least a 4 guage. And I'd like to know why u have the jensen and audiobahns too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

U can find the BX1500D for around $200ish, depends where u get it, I got mine for $185 new but it was on sale a few months back. And if u buy online, u can always find things cheaper.

Now are u subs 500 each rms or power? cuse if its power than probably only like 200rms each (audiobahns, eggh.) And what ohms are they?

that pioneer amp is WAY toooo little power.. period..

audioban subs can sound alright, but with a little forthought you could have done better for the money..

all that aside, we need to know what the subs recommended RMS power is.. i am guessing they are 500 a piece MAX, but that isnt what we need to know.. we need to know the RMS! also, are they single or dual voice coil? and what ohm are they..

without this information, your question is UNANSWERABLE.. PERIOD!

that being said, i am sure you can find a QUALITY amp that will power your subs for the price range you are looking to spend..

lets say they are single 4 ohm subs, and lets suppose they take 500watts RMS each.. then you need a amp that will output 1000 watts rms @ 2 ohm (2 - 4 ohm subs wire together to make 2 ohm)

i feel they are more likely 250 watts rms subs, normally subs that have a max rating listed will normally have a rms rate of about 50% of max.. so 250 watts rms each means you need a amp that will put out 500 watts at 2 ohm..

a good recommendation in either case would be a phoenix gold x600.1

the xenon series amps dont care what ohm load you hook up, and a x600.1 outputs 800+ watts rms.. 800 will be a little on the low side for subs that need 1000watts, but will still sound awesome. and if they are 250 each(500total), then the xenon wll have power to spare, just be sure to set the gain carefully so you dont blow them

hope this helped without offending
