What kind of amp to get .. Need help

The guy wanted options. And I would not recommend the Audiopipe for anything. I final got to hear on and my 500 less wattage kicker smoked it

audiopipe is great for what it is. it may not put out the cleanest of power but if you aren't an idiot about setting the gains then you are fine.

I agree with you but what is a better solution for the long run. A 1500 amp that only does 1200 clean. Or a Kicker 1000 watt amp that puts out 1300 watts clean. And has the background of power, looks and know quality.

This is also going to depend on which subs he picks

stay away from those main stream brands guy. they arent any good for the price your paying.. im running an AP 3000d amps, and 1 RE SX 12 D2, i pulled up to my buddy whos never heard of either of these brands, he had a Hifonics brutus 1600watt amp, and an Alpine Type X. I blew him out of the water with my simple setup... im not even close to running this amp at full tilt, not even half, and its great to me. simply check out other brands. RE SE subs are great for your price. AQ HDC, diamond D6, its really what you chose, but anything they sell at bestbuy really isnt all that great for the price. Good luck though, everyone has different tastes.

Let him get whatever he wants. They will be blown in a week anyway cause he thinks they have more output then they do, so he is going to crank the gain up and fry em. then some douche is going to buy them on craigslist

If you want to be heard from a mile away get kickers.. Not the black face conps, atleast get the CVRs or up.

If you want a good looking plastic paperweight go Fosgate T0 or up.

The kickers will be the cheapest for the output option. Where do you plan on buying them?

My friend gets them wholesale so i was prolly 80 a piece .... So kickers are louder but do they sound nice or ****** n distorted

What model kicker?

 

[Dirtrider4eva 10+ year member]

if you want something "Decent" go with the Kicker CVX or Alpine Type R. The Kickers CVX has all the bang a L7 has, but better SQ than the Muddy l7. The Alpine Type R's sound good, but you'll need a couple to get some bang. I personally dont find fosgate to be really anything decent for the money. P3's are decent, i guess. too much mainstream junk though IMO.

But price dont matter cause ill be gettin them for the same price so ur sayin the cvx sounds better then the p3

get a cvx 12 and youll be happy. itll take the rated 750 and a little more. if you wanna stick with mainstream out of those brands that will be your best bet. give it a nice ported box and you will be just fine,
