you have a price you want to keep it under? also when you say 4+4 ohm are you saying each sub is 4 ohm svc or each sub is 4 ohm dvc?

[coreygnar]

4 ohms dvc, thats just how it is labeled on the sub, and written in the directions

wire down to 1 ohm.

im pretty sure they are not supposed to be run on 1 ohm

Lower ohm = more powah!

Lower ohm = more powah!

true but i dont think my subs are stable at 1 ohm

Get a mtx amp. I've been pounding subs with my mtx 8502 for six years now. This amp is awesome

im not asking for brand.. im talking specific ratings.
lots of people are satisfied with lots of amps, but that doesn't help me at all

the subs will see 4ohm
the amp would see 1ohm

^^This...your subs dont need to be 1 ohm stable...your amp does.

[2000GTGP]

to explain it further you cant change the ohm of your subs, well you can but we wont go their as it involves rebuild, they stay the same no matter how you wire the subs. The ohm of the subs just gives you wiring options and dvc subs give even more wiring options. Your sub's ohms will not change when you wire them up to the amp. As they said, the amp sees the ohm load change.

edit: if you dont like either of those suggestions i mentioned earlier i can find you something else. Just let me know

would this be a good amp at 1 ohm?
NEW HIFONICS BRUTUS BRZ1200.1D CLASS D MONO AMPLIFIER | eBay

that would be a great amp at 1ohm as thats where its rated power is

i have 2 15's type r's running at .5ohms and i have them on a hifonics brutus 2600 so you should be fine

Brutus is hifonics better line of amps. I wouldnt run this amp at 1ohm though. It puts out dirty power once you start maxing it out. I plan on getting this same amp when i upgrade but ill be using it at 2ohms where for the most part is clean power.

if u want the cheap rout with more power check out audio pipe amps my neighbor had 4 tyep r at .5 ohm a peice and had two amps and they pounded I hace two 1500 and there loud.

= SH!T

true that

[shawnschuldt]

i wouldnt say its dirty i just say its highly inefficent mine just eats power like nobodys buisness but thats what i get when i mistakenly bought 2ohm dvc

those 15's of mine are only rated for 750rms and they are getting more than 1300 rms for 2 years now but i also dont have my gain cranked all the way up either

Edit: 1oh mor .5ohm it doesnt really matter its just a tough amp and i good price, best bang for your buck IMO
