what are my choices for true power?

[idfk420]

Hello all. Greetings from the south! I just picked up these bad boys today for a cool $150.

View attachment 26552581 sundown audio sa-12 d2 i believe...

little did i know what i actually had purchased. turns out these things are dvc 2 ohm. ok,so now on to the question...

i need an amp thats gonna power these correctly. ive got box and all that,and im not really worried about sq as much as spl... the links i read said these are 600w rms. so i need something with true power to run them. ive got about $350-$400 i can spend. any suggestions?

do you REALLY have a box for 2 sundown sa12s?

but your gonna need to get something that does north of 2k at 1ohm since you can only wire to .5 or 2 and i would not recommend you wiring to .5 becasue thatll be an ivestment of around $1.5k of electrical

were in socal are you?

 

[idfk420]

Not so cal. I was meaning it as south of the mason-dixon. So,yeah. Online is about my only choice for new stuff.

well you kinda messed up by getting 2 d2 subs, especially sundows yea theyare rated at 600 but the real rating is easily double that. like i said find an amp that does like 2500w at 1 ohm and youll get around 1.2k at 2 ohms. or find a kicker amp those are usually rated at 2ohms but theyre expensive

and those subs NEED a custom ported box to specs. you cant just throw them in anything and there

Nice find. Local CL near me wants double the amount, same subs.

An AQ2200 should power those nicely if you can find one.

Be careful on those. A lot of scams out here.

Quite a few Kicker,Alpine, Fosgate, and JL all make decent power @ 2ohms. Else you will need to buy a hefty 1 ohm stable amp.

Make an offer on this: Alpine MRX M240 Mono Amplifier 2400W 793276011909 | eBay

I have a friend selling a BNIB 2011 Kicker zx2500. I'll check to see if he's willing to ship it.

 

[idfk420]

See if he will do $325 shipped.

Youll need more money for electrical for that, a 0 gauge amp kit is over $100 alone
