ok i ordered a 18" BTL and was going to hook it up to the new hifonics brutus brz2400. Is that too much for the sub? but i also got the sub at a 1ohm so i can hook the amp to 2 ohms. Also will i be able to put that 18" in the back of my 2001 impala?

HUH?

Kinda late to be asking after you've already ordered it don't you think? :puzzled:

1. That amp will be fine. subs rms is 2000 watts and that amp does 1700 @ 2ohms. So if using a DMM you want 58.30 volts.

2. What electrical upgrades have you done to back this amp?

3. Not sure what fits in an impala as I have no experience with one.

As far as fitting an 18" ported enclosure in an Impala I dont know but if you can then you will be ok with that amp, run the sub at 2 ohms and get a nice electrical to back it up (Big 3 Uprgrade, Extra Battery).

When did you order the sub, you may have time to email Fi car audio with your information and see if you can get them to change it to a 15".

new to car audio and buying a sub with no warranty besides DOA hunh? at least you got one that can take a little abuse. make sure you do a lot of reading up on the hobby before jumping in over your head. hopefully you have an older big body impala and not one of the newer ones.

1 18" ported will fit, but you must cut the sheet metal behind the rear seats to slide it in.

I hate to say :noob: but you did not think this out very well did you?
