what would be a god amp to run it?

how much power can it handle in the box you are gonna put it in?

I remember reading their manuals and them stating that for the smaller solo xs, they may be rated for 2500wrms but their recommended ported enclosures only recommended 1,500w...

That's why i'm asking that question.

Need to know what type of 18 u purchased too, D1 or D2?

are you sure.... i thought it was 2500 each voice coil........ either way... . i just sold my hifonics goliath, 5000 watts....... to a man with 2 solo x 18's he had tryed many amps....

the only other one besides the hifonics was the MOJO 4k

IA 40.1

nope, because there is a sealed box enclosure that can handle the full 2500wrms according to manual.

the 10s and 12s are 2500w and the 18 is 5000w.

If the 18 is like the other ones, it is only gonna handle 3-4kw daily.

Really need to know your voice coil option.

for a money saver-

1 ohm can get ya 4kw at $700

2 ohm can get ya 4.5kw at $780

1 ohm can get ya 3.1kw refurb'd for $700

If you wanna go crazy, if you got dual 2s, you can get 6KW for $1120

More crazy? Dual 2s again can get ya 9KW for $1,560

Little less crazy? Dual 1s can get ya 7.8KW for $1,400

Let us know ur VC configuration.

thats what i said the 18 is 5000 watts

i know but i was talking about the "Smaller solo x's" that i mentioned above saying that in their manual, kicker recommends running less than rms rating to them in ported enclosure.

i dont have one he is getting one (my buddy) i told him a hifonics amp or 2 starpped sundowns at least i think u can starp them am i wrong?

u can strap the sundowns but only advisable at 2ohms.

my buddy really doesn't want to spend 2g's on a amp any suggtions for him?

well how much does he want to spend

i dont really know i would say 1000

i dont really know i would say 1000

used hifonics is all i can say. or a used sad 3000d.... one will do a good job on that sub.... ummmm half ohm load would do the trick.... but i dont think that jacob covers a half ohm anymore.... but thay will play @
