What amp for Alpine Type-R SWR-10D2 10" 6000Watt Dual 2-ohm Subs

[jahagafut]

So I bought two Alpine Type-R SWR-10D2 10" 6000Watt Dual 2-ohm Subs

Peak:3000W

RMS:1000W

Dual 2 Ohm Voice Coil Each.

I need an amp. I ordered a Crunch DRA40502 2Ch 4000w amp, but I heard that this is a very crappy amp on the forums. I drive a Nissan 300ZX with custom Z Enclosures to allow room for the T-Tops so Space is an issue, The smaller I can go the better. Someone on the forum suggested I go with American Bass VFL-Hybrid 4480.1D, 1 ohm Stable Digital Mono Block 4500 Watts Peak Power

2200 RMS @ 1 Ohm. He recommends I run them at 0.5 Ohms, I really don't want to do that as I've heard it's not stable, plus I don't have the capacity for that. I am hoping to just buy a Shuriken battery and be set for power. This system is getting more expensive than expected and i'm not in it for competition(though I won't complain if I end up with competition power) So, Ideally I'd like to run TWO 10" subs at TWO Ohms, I'd like to get my 1000W RMS, as I am told that's the most stable. Please suggest a good amp, something by a GOOD company that doesn't bull%#%# their power rating. I'd like to keep it reasonably priced, but I could roundup 400 give or take, and would require Canadian Shipping. Thank you very much! I have been looking all over and getting nowhere. I'm kind of a noob to ohms and such. The subs are 2 ohm though, I have them jumpered to 4 ohm, but can easily put it back to 2.

I currently own the VFL4480 and absolutely love it. I'm running it at one ohm on a pair of vvx12's in a ported box. The bass in my radio is on -12, and it still slams pretty hard. I did use zero gauge knu konceptz wire on my install, changed out my stock battery for an odyssey battery, and also added a second odyssey battery for the amp to run off of. The amp never even gets slightly warm. I haven't clamped the amp, so I can't tell you what wattage I'm actually putting out. Hopefully someone on here can chime in on what this amp really does wattage wise clamped. I'm currently driving a ctsv, and when I monitor the voltage drop from the dash indicator there isn't any at all. I can't say anything negative about it.

How do you run a set of subs at 1 ohm like you said? I thought if its 1ohm stable and I wire two subs in it'll become .5ohms

 

[blakgtp 10+ year member]

You can wire those subs to 0.5ohm or 2 ohm load....

I see, sorry i'm new to this, lol. I'm just gonna wait for the American Bass and get my soundguy to help me with it. Crunch just came in the mail so i'm gonnna use that for now

Don't run that American bass amp, or any amp for that matter, at .5 ohm without the electrical to back it up. I'd try to find the power you need at 2 ohms. And for that I'd personally get a kicker zx2500

Or a Stetsom amp

Well I'm considering an Optima Yellow-Top, Alternator upgrade and Big 3

I'm running the vfl 4480 at 0.5ohm with 200a alt and 2 runs of 1/0. Just get a volt meter
