Posted April 3, 201114 yr Im purchasing some 10 Dcon's soon. And was wondering which amp would be good to run 2 of them.
April 3, 201114 yr before we can help we need to know a few things! 1. budget2. system goals3. electrical background4. your cars electrical background5. space available for your amp6. vehicle you are using7. style of box8. married 9. kids10. anything else you may think is helpful! 11. your name!
April 3, 201114 yr Author 1. No more than 300 on an amp if possiible2. Great SQ is a must. But still want the occasional Deep Loud Thump3. ? 4. ? still cant .... please specify what your asking.5. I don't think space will be an issue for the amp. I intend to mount it to the back of my back seat6. 2006 Pontiac G67. Still havent decided on sealed or ported. Ported seems pretty nice but Idk yet8. Divorced 9. None that I know of O.o10. I havent messed with any car audio stuff in a few years... I'm still a little lost11. " T " works
April 3, 201114 yr well Mr.T I got a few more questions for you:12. what ohm load would you like to run, keeping in mind these subs are D4 or S4 so you can run 2 of them in either 1,2,4,8 ohm13. how much power do you want to give each of these subs14. got any good pics of your x? lol JKnow to restate my 3/4/9 questions3. have you ever done car audio before? if so to what power extent (how much power)4. what is your alts rating and front battery rating9. do you have any extra batteries laying around or wires? or is this a fresh build! at any do you have a preference towards amp brands?
April 3, 201114 yr Author @CrazyKenKidAlt - 125ampBattery = I will have to get back to ya on thatI have a little experience. On my own rides that is. I used to have 2 Mach5 MAW-15's on a hand-me-down Orion 600D amp. Nothin big.Its pretty much a fresh build. Im redoing the entire audio system. @Theluker69I like the dcon's Im looking for something snappy so I decided 10'sI chose dcon's because I am not looking to compete with anyone just want it to be loud and crisp for me and any Hunnies at the Red Light
April 6, 201114 yr hey I forgot about this thread, sorry man! with your 125amp alt on 12.8VDC you can support a 1600watt setup. since you said you don't want to compete and you want more of a daily setup, plus you said you want to pound it at a red light and make it sound good. plus your budget is 300$ based on those goals I am going to suggest either running 2 or 4ohm load since that will yield less of a pull on your cars electrical setup. and i am not sure if you care about used amps or bnib amps but on ebay i seen thishttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Kicker-KX800-2-amplifier-Barely-used-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem336685ed9dQQitemZ220763385245QQptZCarQ5fAudioQ5fVideo#ht_500wt_1182http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290437189065&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_3307wt_905or if you want to go monohttp://cgi.ebay.com/Kicker-08ZX750-1-/250798382165?pt=Car_Amplifiers&hash=item3a64bf9c55#ht_729wt_1139orhttp://cgi.ebay.com/Kicker-KX600-1-Car-Amplifier-/170623673957?pt=Car_Amplifiers&hash=item27b9f6a665#ht_695wt_1139or even better you could get http://www.db-r.com/sell/store2/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=65_67_69_80orhttp://www.db-r.com/sell/store2/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=65_67_69_108I like the idea of the kicker 800.2 though! if i were you I would jump on that for 200$
April 12, 201114 yr I just bought a brand new RF Power T500-1BD on Ebay for $260 with the Punch Eq remote. My amp came rated at 762 watts at 1 ohm, 494 watts at 2 ohms, and 289 at 4 ohms. You can get the dual 4 ohm DCON's and run them at 1 ohm or you can get an Audioque AQ1200D for $260 brand new it will give you 510 watts @ 4 ohms, 870@ 2 ohms, and 1200 watts @ 1 ohm. You can ran the dual 4 subs at 4 ohms and if you decide you want more power you already have it. It will save you money in the long run if you ever want higher power handling subs and AQ makes good products.
April 12, 201114 yr this is my suggestionhttp://cgi.ebay.com/SOUNDSTREAM-RUB1-1600D-1600-WATT-RMS-MONO-AMP-AMPLIFIER-/230597953914?pt=Car_Amplifierscan't beat that for 180get 2 dual 4's and wire them up to 4 ohms
