Posted May 19, 201312 yr Hello, I have two 12" SSA GCON dual 4ohm vc subwoofers in a sealed box I made. (750w rms each) I was previously driving each subwoofer with an Infinity Kappa One amp, 800W @ 2ohm, but my stupid pre-out adapter decided to push 12V to the amps, frying their input circuitry. So I guess I need a new amp or two, and was wondering recommendations, and what info you need in order to give good advice. Car: 2011 Dodge Charger Hemi Sound deadened trunk (2-3 layers ballistics damper) Wire: 1/0 KnuConcepts to the amp, 10 gauge to the speakers Speakers: Two 12" SSA GCON dual 4ohm voice coils, 750W power handling, RMS Enclosure: wedge shaped, dual 12", 1.5^3 foot per side, sealed. Music: Really anything, mostly popular hits, rap, r&b Desires: Mostly SQ, but I want to feel it too :-) Price range: Uhhh... around $500 but under $1000 would be nice. Here is a pic of the box I built with the subs installed: Thanks! Edited May 19, 201312 yr by joemosfet
May 19, 201312 yr Wow that's a pretty big budget for a sub 2kw amp.I personally like sundown and rockford amps. There are plenty more to choose from. I usually buy a little bigger than I need for upgrades down the road and to have a little headroom.Don't think that you have to put max power to them to sound good or make them loud.. A 500w amp would still get down on those subs. Also you really aren't going to hear a "sq" difference on a mono sub amp. Edited May 19, 201312 yr by dbsupra
May 20, 201312 yr Don't diss it til' you try it.... MMATS I admit those amps have a nice look to them, reminds me of the ol' mephis amps, very shiny. Edited May 20, 201312 yr by SacredTanakh

May 20, 201312 yr Author Wow, thanks for all the advice, guys, I sure do have a lot to look at!! Thread jacking, how do those GCONs sound sealed? Zed or Sundown for amp. I like a sealed box because of the space savings as well as the flatter frequency response. That being said, when powered with a couple of Infinity Kappa One amps, they hit hard and clear. I had upgraded from a pair of Kappa subwoofers, and the gcon's extra inch on the cone with and the additional x-max blew the old ones out of the water.
