Don't have anything to offer except tips since I am running a pair of these right now. Don't have to go by recommended enclosure, I am running mine sealed with 1.3cf per sub and they really love the low notes. I would'nt recommend trying to hit them with max power as they are not rated for extreme excursion. Trust me though they will really do some excursion. I know they are not great amps but I'm powering mine with a power acoustic ovn1-5500d and it seems to work real well with these subs. Only thing I'm not sure about is the current draw the amp seems to draw, really dimming the lights. Good pair of cheap sube that hit rather low and sound pretty good, they are no comp sub by any means though. Hope that helps your decision making. Russ

[celicagtman 10+ year member]

what would you advice for my budget then?

 

[dbeez 5,000+ posts]

whats your budget for an amp and what coil config are you getting tthem in

 

[celicagtman 10+ year member]

like i said my budget is 150$ i am looking at some in this formus rte now too but not sure what would be best for those subs.what do u have thm with dbeez. i am not sure bout the coil config. the guy said he bought it a couple of months ago with a box..i am guessing its the defult but i will deff ask

 

[dbeez 5,000+ posts]

without coil config its hard to say but i hate these amps but audiopipe is what you gonna have to try and buy i hated to say that..

 

[celicagtman 10+ year member]

i am looking for a used amp..mabe that could help?also are you talking about the Audiopipe AP3002 1500W 2/1 in that case dont you think the Pioneer GM D8400M would be better?if you could reccomend a better one mabe i will be able to finder a cheaper.

 

[celicagtman 10+ year member]

thats the reason i wanted to get just one sub..even thou if i buy 2 he will throw in a box with it.but then i need a much power ful amp to power it...which is pushing my budget.
