All the amps you listed except for the last one are all great amps. Grab one you like the looks of and can afford and give it a shot. I currently have a bc3500 and love it. Had several soundqubed amps that were awesome.
I thought you'd like my results, I just sorted that spreadsheet by fusing current to make it a little easier to read. I have a column with $/watts and the crecendo amps and the SQ did awesome.
Here is a snippet https://goo.gl/photos/fp5UgXrB7iQCeSya8
Remember, some of these values you may see and ask yourself why the F is he even listing that, but I was having a very hard time deciding between amps and I wanted to list as much as I could.
I just ordered 2 of these on friday!! :-D

With all these programs 4 box tuning and design can you tell what impedance of that enclosure is going to be?

Okay so maybe this is a stupid question just because the amount of power should be fairly close to one another. But I have 2, 15in zcon d2. And im going to buy a new amp,next week. I was thinking of cresendo 5500 and running it at .5 ohms like i am now. But somebody local to me is selling 2 svc 3000. If i strap them ill be doing 6k at 2 ohms. Or my origin plan of crezenxo amp which is rated for 5850 @1ohm. Since im running that at .5ohms not,sure how much ill actually be getting theres no spec on .5 ohm.
So my question is which way would be better or does it not matter since theyll be pretty,close? Is this just going to be what brand i choose to run or is there more problems with runnin amps straped? Ive never straped amps before so im curious.
My electrical is a 370 mechman elite. 2, 1800 kinetics. And or changing to 3, d3100 xs power batts.

I got em up n running today. Left a lil late finnishing doing it. I'm only 6 miles from home so i only had time to play 2 songs and a few test tones..... but the kid I got them from told me about how you were going to be it was pretty spot on. the icons I had really peaked fantasticly round 37-40 then faded. In that spot the icons were a bit louder than these. But these im not,sure where they peak its pretty even over a large span. They sure liked decaf- Downtown lol. Now i only had time to plug and run. I did do this with the back window out also so,thatll make a difference. But so,far so,good

Yeah from 12in icons to 15in zcons. Its a big jump i know. And no,ive never heard zcons but every single thing ive read is just about every who,runs these, its their fav sub. If not their fav its 1,of their,favs. Box is 7cu @33hz. Im,still useing my bc2000 for now ill be getting a bc5500 in a couple months

So its been a lil bit since ive done anything. So 1st off i had to clean up,those wires to the battery. My wires kept coming loose. So i ordered these SSA battery terminals!! Wohoo love em (along with my ssa tshirt). Much much better, nice tight connection. I did 1 door inner and outer with murdermat i havent gotten to the other doors yet tho. About 1 month ago a local guy was sellin his,15in zcons so picked them up for $500. 1 is grey basket 1 is black. Im guessing earlier build vs newer build? Im sure its same thing and shouldnt matter any. Just had the enclosure built by a local guy yesterday. I cleared the front and hurculiner the reaat this morning. So i havent wired it in,or mounted the subs yet but pretty excited it looks sweet and,cant wait to hear these babies !!! If i can,figure out how,to post pics,again lol ....

I'm surprised nobody has bothered to post anything about their subs that theyve released pics on

When you put those batteries under the console, is that vented at all? I want the same exact thing for my main front seat console.

Yeah,im going to take the old midgate and cut out a whole that this box will fit into. That way itll act as a wall. Keeping the bass in the cab and not the bed.
well sealed the spectrom was atad higher. So i lost some of the higher bass notes, but also picked up some lower notes that i wasnt getting before. the lower the notes the harder it hits. Example i heard usher shorty i dont mind. 2,main bass notes in that,song. Before i hit the higher 1 but,completely died on the lower note. Now i get em both really well.
but but really theze subs did really well in the sealed box. I was shacking mirrors but not my bottles in the cup holder. Im still not shaking bottles. ive only got bout 1hr playtime on it so,far. Ive got more music to try out on it yet. but i,do know i want to for,sure still go with the zcon later on. I want alot more than just this cresendo 2k. Overall im pretty haply with it.

ok so i've had a plan by end of this summer i want 2 15in zcons. but until then i thought what the hell let's see what these icons can do in a ported box. so i had a local box builder make me 1. i picked it up tuesday, spray painted it, brushed on herculiner bedliner, and finally got it in today. i don't have a paint gun or air compressor, but then again it's not permanent. the new box is 4.51cu @34hz. i'm happy with the build of the box it's really strong, he put in some small 45's, he 45'ed the underside corners. it is a lil louder in the lows, but not as loud as i thought it might go. but then again i may be looseing alot to going into the bed. i am planing on cutting up the old box into a trim for the new to block this off, which i'll work on this week. i also painted up my plasitic under the hood a lil bit.

4in rancho lift but it actually lifted about 5in. 35x12.5x17 bf mud terrains. I wanted a lift but I thought 6 maybe a lil much for using it daily. but I like right where it's at. I've gotta local box builder making me a ported right now. i'll have pics later this week of it. I wanna see what these icons are capable of. I made this midgate I have now, i'll probably make the next box I have. I've just been busy so i'll let the expert make this 1.

sony 65in 4k 850b. klipsch reference line from bestbuy w/12in sub. and yes i need to orginize my wires again. they were all tied up before but i moved it to this wall and hadn't done it again. the tv i love wouldn't change it for anything, but i do want to upgrade the klipsch someday. they sound great but the horns are fairly subtle. i believe the higher end models are quite a bit more for my likeing. the sub is pretty nice too, not really a complaint about it.

hey fellas. so I work 6 days a week. I don't have a lot of free time so this will be a bit slow so sorry for that. I have some pics of a build I did May of 2014 that I'm going to post right now. I'm planning on rebuilding it completely. so here's some pics of what ive got going on right now.

So i,didnt see anything for a front stage planned yet. You have that figured out? I was going to go with the cresendo mids,and f1 tweets cause all ive heard is great things about them, but nobody on this site seems to like them. Even tho they havent recomended anything else anywhere ive read. So personally i have no idea where to turn yet.

on the 02-06 avy's they had the stock battery up front driver corner. I have 1 in each corner myself right now. looking good man. did that duel alt bracket come from stinger? how much did that run ya. all of em I've seen are like $290. those "pass thrus" are water drainage for the bed obviously great for running wireing thru too. couldn't find ya on facebook. there must be 100 lee carter names on there

holly crap 59 pages I just went thru. this new set up looks unbelievably good blue n green wire against the white
what I don't get is this whole. "I'm gonna prove these myths about caps to be false". now I maybe it's just me but anytime I hear about caps in a car audio application I'm thinking regular caps, such as stinger, Rockford fosgate, planet audio things like that. then you go and use super caps which is fine but they are 100 times more advanced than regular caps and not even comparable.
can't wait to see this thing done. for sure following this. beautiful job

So I picked up a few things in the last couple months I did change over from the focals tooth hertz comps. They are brighter and they are louder so in essence they go great with my subs. I just received the 2, crescendo 3500'ss yesterday and the recones for my zcons. While I do not need to change them now I bought them so I wouldn't have to wait a month in case I do blow them. The tpi o-scope I picked up a few weeks ago when I changed my front stage I set my amp with it then I went and checked my crescendo 2k and found out that I was only pushing 19 amps to my subs. So obviously that's messed up wish I knew something was wrong but I wasn't sure what not my problem was a while back I had electrical problems that puts an amp into protect mode a quite a few times but it always turned back on its always had power it's always play music last week I had to replace my to kinetic battery under the hood I replace those with 2 xs power s3400. This past weekend I also installed 2 out of my 3 d 3100 which I don't have pics of yet. before I start at this whole thing over a year ago I checked into ofc vs CCA wire the only difference I could find was CCA corrodes faster and can't run as much current through I just recently found out that CCA wiring runs twice as hot as Ofc. Which I found out the hard way when I change batteries the amp wire going from the battery to the amp was extremely corroded an extremely stiff so needless to say I'm going to be changing out my way really soon.
