Posted February 27, 200817 yr I am looking at these brands and models here:Soundstream PCA2000DSoundstream PCA2000D 2000 rms at 1 ohm - around $400Hifonics BXi2607D prolly only 2000 rms at 1 ohm - around $400 a lil lessHifonics XXV Thor or XX Thor 3000 rms at 1 ohm - around $700Orion HCCA-D5000 2500 rms at 1 ohm - around $600Rockford Fosgate Power T20001bd 2000 rms at 1 ohm - around $750which is best for power/price
February 27, 200817 yr I have a Hifonics Thor XXV for sale that is practically brand new. $550.00 plus shipping
February 27, 200817 yr Author Kicker zx 1500...Sundown 1500...kicker one is 1500 at 2 ohms i need 1 ohm and i kinda want closer to 2000 rms
February 27, 200817 yr Author Sundown 1500d?That is enough to power a BL, easy.is it under-rated? cant a BL loaded take more than 1500 watts? i got my ssd loaded at like 1200 watts
February 27, 200817 yr You're asking if Sundown is underrated? Go have a look at the power testing stickies in the Sundown forum here.
February 28, 200817 yr the sundown 1500 is underrated.... and stay away from hifonics i warn you. but do what ya wish.
February 28, 200817 yr Author the sundown 1500 is underrated.... and stay away from hifonics i warn you. but do what ya wish.lol, i dont think hifonics is that bad, its still good for my car right now but im prolly takin out the bxi2607d from the list Edited February 28, 200817 yr by phi
February 28, 200817 yr noticed you in my city, phi.Now get OUT!just playin, haha.I hope you know what you are doing because a lot of those amps may require attention to the mechanical and\or thermal limits of 1 BL.And for whatever you do, don't get the XXV-Thor if being used for daily, get a BTL with that much power.Try and find you an amp rated between 1500-1800w. IF you do do with a 2kw amp, you may need to slightly attenuate it's output potential if the sub starts to heat up frequently.

February 28, 200817 yr i just got my sub in this evening and i went with a fosgate t100bd heard alot of good things about this amp plus i paid 409 shipped cant beat that for a really good amp which will do 1500 at 1 ohm sounds like something u should look into Edited February 28, 200817 yr by timmc2006

February 28, 200817 yr Author im thinkin of gettin the soundstream Edited February 28, 200817 yr by phi
February 28, 200817 yr Admin You are choosing the new SoundStream over the Kicker/Sundown/RF suggestions?
February 28, 200817 yr Author i thought soundstream was good? but i think the one im lookin at is an older model...
February 28, 200817 yr Admin Before they were bought out by Power Acoustic and dropped a great deal in quality and technology and jumped up in bling and rattings....

I just had part of a setup stole from me 2 months ago. Have no idea who did it and it was across the street from the police station! I am still eager to meet the person who did it. Not saying you did but be careful because if i find out who did it, they goin to jail.And if they dont.... i will.The BLs can take power up to but no more than 2K but is not suggested unless you know exactly what to look for when building the enclosure and setting up amp(s).

February 28, 200817 yr Author Before they were bought out by Power Acoustic and dropped a great deal in quality and technology and jumped up in bling and rattings....the one im lookin at is the pca2000, but i didnt know they were bought out by power acoustic
February 28, 200817 yr Well, they stole over $2k from me. I had to get the insurance to approve this new install i'm doing so anything that gets damaged i dont have to worry about it.I'm in the PRP area but yea, I used to know someone who lived in Iroquois and i hated goin over there because it seems everybody in that area is just waitin to get in trouble somehow.
