Posted February 4, 20205 yr Ive been in audio for longer than I care to admit. I recently decide to upgrade starting with a ssa Icon 12 d2. I currently have an older hifonics bx1500 running it but I dont like that amp much. its sloppy and doesnt put out much power. I used to run rockfords and lower powered subs, back in the day when a 700watt amp was big power. Anyway I am looking for recommendations on a good amp to pair with this sub, but of course wont break the bank in the process. 1500w to 2000w is what Im thinking for power. This sub is replacing a 12" infinity perfect if that tells you how long its been since I seriously researched my purchases. the dyno tests are nice but they tell you nothing about the quality of the amp, and its ability to control a sub properly. Thanks
February 7, 20205 yr I have an SSA IC2200.1 I'll sell you for 375 shipped. Was only installed for a day to run a ZCON 15. Electrical wasn't up to snuff so I pulled it thinking the amp was the problem, but it wasn't. Bought a Rockford T2500 and had the same issues. Upgraded electrical after that and tried the SSA again and it's fine. Not a scratch on it. You can see where it was mounted if you look, but that's it. Can post some pics if interested.

Thanks We have a great selection on the SSA Store. If you don't snatch up the IC2200 above, I can help out on amp choice.
February 9, 20205 yr Author Thanks for the offer, I have decided to switch gears, I have decided to install a system in my ram truck rather than my old beater work car. I will have to see how I like the icon in a sealed box in truck rather than my car before I decide on an amp. I may or may not switch to different subs
