you'll never have a solid 14.4v system even with 50 D3100s..

The best you can do with battery power is 13.6-13.8v.

If you want better, you will need battery and upgraded alternator.

Although, this isn't critical, it's not important to be at or over 14v either at all times.

I wouldn't buy either. IF I'm spending your money, I'd get whichever one costs more.

You're sure about that ? With such a little system I thought it would be possible. Maybe not for hours of play, but it can be done on some cars. not on mine though !

OP : you can be good, and safe with a smaller amp for those little monsters ! IMO

im looking to spend no more than 300 on an amp i really want a sundown amp but even used they are out of my price range. i can also get a rockford amp bt i dont care for them i always had trouble with thim i want at least a 1200 watt amp for the subs to be at 600 rms to each one at 1 ohm

I would get a Audio Que Aq1200. So your planning on running both subs together at one ohm?

yea i ordered daul 4 ohm subs if i wire the in parellel the show a 1 ohm load and i want to run them at 600 rms so that would mean i need a 1200 watt rms amp that has true watts

So you want to run over rated power to the driver? YOu could get an 800 watt amp and never hear a difference.

  • the subs are rated at 500 rms and its never gave me a max i have seen guy put 1000 rms to these subs with no problem you just have to set the amp right but me looking for an amp i found that there are more 1200 watt amp than 1000 watt amps so in my eyes its easyer to get a 1200 than a 1000

Just because you've seen "some guys" running 1kw per driver, doesn't mean it's a good idea for everyone to try.

There's zero audible difference between 1kw and 1200w.

Do you presently have an amplifier, or is this a new system/install?

I also agree on the aq 1200 but also if you get the crescendo bc2k then you can wire down to 4 ohms and still get plenty of power, 850 rms, and still make those babies hit and if you decide to upgrade or add to more you can run it at 1 ohm. Jus look around and you can find one under 300 shipped. :)

Also like impious said, 850 rms to 1200 won't be an audible difference.
