Yea it's your choice. At least your going to get a good amp though.

Yeah, I just feel like i could get more out of the 5.5 @.5 then 2x2ks @ 1. whether or not ill notice, thered really only be one way to find out. so I figure ill just go with my gut on which one will put out more. Don't think I'd be dissatisfied either way tho.

Yea your right you will be happy either way but 4k to 6k you won't hear a difference in output. That's just my thought about it lol

single big amp. cendo

 

Just saw your sig, how you liking your BC5500? what ohm load you got on it? and whats your electrical? just to give me an idea of how power hungry it is.

also, how do you like the evil? looks beastly.

Im sure I will be.

And you are most likely right that I wont. Ive gone over it atleast 783 times in my head and I cant figure it out. So im just gonna go with the big one haha

and then maybe a c1100.4 and a few more set of massive RK6s

There is no such thing as "box rise".  Your alignment will have an impedance curve, this both rises and falls.  It is varies with frequency.  It will never be lower than total DCR.

 

There is no advantage to a pair of amplifiers vs a single one, when driving the same impedance.  It is whatever works out best for you.  There can be the disadvantage of a loss in dampening with a strapped pair, this will lower the control of the woofers and may effect sound quality.

I have the Massive RK6 and love them.

I do too! I was gonna run skar pax but decided on the rk instead. Great decision, they get super loud and sound awesome, after bumping them down 2db at 8khz and 10khz

I want to run 3 sets up front and one in the back doors off a Crescendo c1100.4 (2 per channel for 300w at 2ohm). They definitely want more power than the sk85.4 puts out although i havent tried bridging it yet, feel like 250 per may be a bit much.

I think they can take it with no problems bro. I'm running 150 watts per side and they scream loud. Just found out yesterday though I have a faulty crossover network so I'm working with MA to get a new replacement.

Decision has been made, Nendo BC5500 will be ordered when i get back to FL, and my box should be done on my return as well. super excited to have everything up and playing finally.

Wellllll

 

If you already have the subs (D2) I'd opt for a single big amp like the BC5500, but pending the box size, you may not reach those subs full potential. I dunno...

 

If you had D1's I'd opt for two BC3500's, I ran two strapped @.9 nominal. Definitely power houses. You can't always count on rise, like it has already been stated. 

 

Hopefully I'm not beating a dead horse.

already have the subs, and they are D2, partial traded my xbl^2 xxx 15 for them. Im ordering my bc5500 as soon as i get back home from vacation. worst case i guess is run it and then sell for something bigger if i need it, which i doubt. And yeah, I have no clue what rise may or may not be. Box is being built by Bassheads ent. right now. Should be killer though, they do great work.

 

no dead horse beating, this has been a pretty long drawn out decision process for me. I really want to get it right the first time and any input is appreciated.

Me either, or atleast see it haha.

But I'm sure you know how getting progress pics from Robin goes.

Ill get some pics when i go get it sunday evening. Should be sexy; subs up port back, flush mount, black vinyl, kerf port gonna be a shifting dark grey to a dark red metallic flake in the light.

And hopefully amp will be in soon, so I can get it playing and get some vids.

      Hey guys manzkea back at it again! Lol. Finally got some equipment in. Excited to finally get this project I’ve had in mind for a while rolling . Gonna attempt a blow through in my single cab 2001 ford ranger long bed. Gonna make pods for the doors to house the 6.5s and replace the stock one with a 6.5 or if possible an 8” driver. All powered off the ssa ic150.4.  As for subs I’ll be using a 15” sp4 v2 I got from a friend for a deal. A taramps 5k will be used to push it.
      Unfortunately the evil mids I wanted was unavailable in 4ohms. So I went with these prvs.
       
      Well I’ll I’ll be updating this as I get it going. Possibly next week or so, really busy with work at the moment. Well here’s a pic of some goodies the mail man dropped off.  Cheee. 
       
       Btw got something extra special in those two ssa looking boxes behind the ranger gear. But that’s on the back burner at the moment.

      Pretty much as the title implies.... I've got a 2004 Yukon XL, and I'm updating the entire system. Just replaced my alternator with a 253amp model from a 3500 series pickup (factory option! bolted right in!), will shortly be wiring up a second 1000cca battery. Dual 1/0 runs to the rear, fused at both ends. Currently only running (1) amp, and old Lightning Audio 1001.d @ 1 ohm, will be swapping that out, most likely to a Skar RP-1501.D. Two Powerbass S10-d (dual coil) subs in a 2.7-ish cu ft box built into the rear quarter panel. Tuning is way too low, probably about 24-25Hz. Factory speakers in the doors and rear pillars, will soon be changing them out - probably doing a pair of 6.5's in the front doors, a single 6.5 in the rear doors, and a pair of 10" Powerbass S-10's (single coil) sealed in the front portion of my center console as mid-bass, from 60-150Hz. Will plan on running the speakers and front S-10's on a five-channel amp, most likely Skar's AP-600.5.
      I've got nothing set in stone for the 6.5's, there are literally hundreds of options - but if anyone has some reasonably priced option, please offer suggestions. My biggest dilemma is figuring out what to put in the rear C-pillars. The factory fill is a 2" or 2 1/2", only about 3/4" deep. I'd like to go bigger, even if it's a 3 1/2" or 4". Would run them in parallel with the rear door speakers, dropping the load down to 2 ohms, the same as the front doors. Has anyone ever seen the C-pillars upgraded/enlarged? I found a pair of PPI Sedona series 4" two-ways, supposedly will handle 60 watts RMS, max of 200 watts. The Skar 5-channel is rated at 90x4 @ 2 ohms, so each would see a safe 45 watts.
      Thoughts/suggestions?

      I'm upgrading to a bigger amp dd-m4a


    • By antoinez28
      So I'm been on the web looking at different types of 5k amps that are linkable amps, so I can upgrade my current amp set up...I'm looking for a amp out of these new or used- dd m4a, sundown audio 4500, crescendo bc5500, dc audio 5k, ampere audio 5000.1. It has to be able to do around 3800-4000 wire down to 1.3ohms.
      Running 3-18s DSS ethos box is in the works....
      Electrical is dual alts stock will run the truck, mid, and highs the singer 270amp will run only for the battery bank. 4 juice box blackcherry battery back, two runs of 1/0 wielding wire.
      ( would like more batts if space would allow)
      ( playing music daily and burbs on comps)
      I'm not looking for a father and son conversation here just wanting to know which amp would be better suited for my set up that's all thanks for reading.
