Wanting 2k @ 2 ohm

[Frank H]

I am running a Sundown Audio X12 with dual 4 (version2). I keep reading this thing can take 2k+ all day (rated at 1500w but most say underrated). I have 1000w Alpine on it now and its very decent but wanting more.

What I want is 2000 RMS at 2 ohm BUT I want it to be 1ohm stable for when I decide the one 12" isnt enough, I can upgrade to two D4's and run 1ohm load to the amp and get more power.

Big 3 with 1/0g OFC wire, same wire to the trunk. Am adding a 2nd yellowtop battery when I relocate the amp's in the next week or so, since I have a spare sitting here. I will upgrade the alt before I run the amp at 1 ohm.

Recommend something to me please?

The Taramps HD3000 looks promising too

id stay away from the Brazillian made distortion boxes....even most sound off circuits are banning them

Why are they being banned?

Almost be cheaper to buy a second x12 and run 1ohm. Or recone ur 12 into a d2.... That's what id do $$$ wise...

My amp now is an Alpine M1005 and is not 1 ohm stable.

Maybe used, no?

2k @ 2ohm is usually 4k @ 1ohm. Even used, 380 is pretty low for a 4k amp! After a quick look in the classifieds, amps in that power range are going from $525+ shipping all the way up to $700+.

Used Sundown 3500 can be had for 550-600...

Why did u buy d4 in the beginning??? You knew that lil alpine wasn't going to be enough..... I can get you a bnib with warranty Tara3k2 for 400 shipped from authorized dealer or 4k2 for 500.... Not sure on other models cause I never needed less than 3k on tap lol... But price would fall in line I am sure..

+a lot of good things being said about Audiopipe amps

I know someone running a chinese board AP3000 right now. But it's 2 ohm stable. Not sure if the Korean board on the 3500 is 1 ohm. Amp does seem to be running great right now. No issues a few months in.
