Got 2 IA death penalty 12s and need some amp advice. Budget is $700, thanks for the help guys.

1500 w DP's or the new 2K watt version?  ohm rating?  This will help with the suggestions...

 

Oh yeah- Welcome...

Sorry forgot those details, the new 2k ones and 2 ohm stable.

Your more than likely gonna have to get two amps and strap them together if you have two dual 2 ohm subwoofers.

Its gonna be a task getting those death penaltys in that Maro trunk.

Alright. I have never ran more than one amp. I have one of the DC subs n it now and my box builder said he could get two in there. I couldn't pass up the sale Haha. Thanks for the quick responses. What 2 amps would you go with jay

So to be clear you ha 2 new 12" DP D2's?

Yea haha

But why cant he just wire .5 on just 1 amp?

Crescendo 3500D is warrantied at .5ohm; much harsher on electrical though.

I was going to suggest a 20.1 at .5 ohms- Lots of people do it...BUT  it is an 'at you own risk' kind of deal.

.5 is an option but I'm not thinking the OP should do it with his knowledge. No offense.

Been looking into the Lanzar Optis for my next build. Most of them are .5 stable and do rated power at that ohm load. I will be running a 3201D at .5 in my next build. They have a 4001D ($400 shipped) as well that does 4K at .5 and a 4601D that does 4600 ($540 shipped) at .5.

 

Sonic Electronix is an authorized dealer.

Thanks for the responses, I will definitely check up on those.

 you will need batteriES!   your car is about to get very heavy .

I forgot about the Lanzar Opti's.  Good suggestion.  Look at MMATS too...they have .5 stable amps.   And like Jon said- batteries and prolly an alt would be a no brainer, if you plan to play this for any leangth of time.  Gotta take in all the variables when you start getting over 2K Watts...

Why did you get d2's? If you just ordered I would change it to D1's.

I guess nobody cares about efficiency.

Op I wouldnt run at .5 ohms for daily, now competing is a different story.

Who needs effeciency- just so long as it go BOOM. LOL

I've been an IA dealer for 6 years and have never had a IA amp run .5 ohms longer than 15 min or so.

wow- and you read all the time guys saying they run down to .35 on those amps(competing ofcourse).  Good info to know.

 

I think the OP is going to have trouble finding an amp that makes the power to 2 ohms that he want for the price he posted.

Well I can swap to 1 ohm subs if it would be easier

Yea I don't understand it either. I would rather have 2 smaller amps strapped at 2 ohms.

Call IA and see if you can swap. It would be much easier that way.

 

You would still need the big three and good electrical!

I have the big 3 already done, and 0 guage already ran in the car. Just waiting on the subs and box and amp. I swapped it to the 1 ohm subs. Thanks for all you guys help. Still need advise for the amp for two 1 ohm dp

Check pricing bu you are looking at 800 on the low end for a good amp.
