Two amps or one?

[Sguirrelfeather]

My current subs are on the way out, so it's time to upgrade. Not sure on final sub selection, but it will likely be FI BTL-3 series. I currently have an FSD FZ2600D, which has dyno'd at 3600 at 14.4, so I know it has plenty of juice for a single sub. My question is should I get another comperable amp and wire up two amps for the two subs (using that weird but effective separate coil to opposing amp technique), or should I get a 6-8k amp and repurpose/sell the FSD?

Thoughts? Of course, if the right deal for a used amp comes along, I might just snatch it up anyway.

I would get rid of the 2600 and get a Taramps MD or Bass 8k. Box rise is a bitch and power headroom is always great.

You would never see 3600 rms out of the 2600s.

Good point on rise....I always forget that at first. lol Not a fan of Brazillian amps, though...just a personal preference. Soooo many good amps out there. So much research to do again. lol

Popwar... are you sponsored by taramps? Do you own them? Honest questions with hopes of honest answers.

Squirrel: I hope you get a solid response because I'm struggling with a very similar predicament.

Used to be a dealer. I've had 11 of them myself.
