It's been a while since I have looked at car audio. I still have an MB Quart DSC1500.1 from 6 or 7 years ago that's still kicking. Also have a Sundown audio amp that I got from a yard sale which is great. Looking for something dependable and affordable at a similar power.

A friend of mine is getting a FI Q 12" sub, so I think a 1000W-1500W will be good for it on a stock electrical system. I found a Precision Power PPI P1000.1 for $150 which I like, but it may be worth it to just get a cheap 1500W amp with the gain set to 1000W. Please give me your suggestions.

 
most times cheap 1500 watt amps don't even do 1500 watts, so you would be better off buying a quality 1000w amp that could potentially put out more than 1000w. and buying a cheaper amp will probably give you a dirtier signal

Car Audio Bargain (CAB)

to be honest, audiopipes arent that bad for the money, just have real expectations definitely performs better than hifonics thats for sure. the CAB amp did well on the dyno as well.

 
I'm not eager to sell it, but for a fair offer I would let my Cerwin Vega V1500.1D go. It's a compact beast designed by Larry Frederick of Phoenix Gold, old PPI, Ex-Elettromedia trainer, and more.

 
I really appreciate the feedback. That caraudiobargain website is great! Actually, I think I talked him into doing (1) SA-10 ported with a 1000W amp. Probably will get B-stock on that website. I feel this is the better option. It will end up being much cheaper and will have less strain on the stock electrical system. Sorry to make a thread and go in a different direction.

Now I need to settle on an amp, I am leaning towards the PPI P1000.1.

It's a Volvo factory amp, so there's a custom wire harness between the head and amp.
