Hey guys I was wondering what amp you would choose to power a pair of subs in a sealed enclosure that are rated at 750rms or 1500max each and are duel 4ohm coils. Right now I have 2 1000rms @2ohm amps but would like to go to a single amp to simplify the system. I will have to buy preowned as I cant afford the new price but.... Any way what amp would you choose and and your reasons why? I dont want to run anything to its limit either as both my 1000s will run 1ohm but they get tooooo tooosty and I dont believe in working stuff that hard. Thanks in advance.

why do you want to go with a new amp? sounds like the 2 you have should do the job. is it an issue of space?

mayham looks like he answerd your question before you asked it.

If you don't want to run anything one ohm then you are making it tough to find a one-amp solution. With 2 dual 4 ohm voice coils you either have to:

a) Find a two channel amp that will push 750 RMS at 2 ohms per channel;
b) Find a 1 channel amp that will give you 1500RMS at 4 ohms (series parallel wiring); or,
c) Find a 1 channel amp that will give you 1500RMS at 1 ohm (parallel/parallel wiring).

Since you say you don't want to wire anything down to 1 ohm then c is not an option. You are going to have to dish out some serious coin to find an amp for either a or b above. One amp that can run 2 channels at 2 ohms each is the Eclipse DA7232 (Max 2000 per channel but RMS isw probably 1000-1500 which will be fine with sealed enclosures). Good luck!

Or find an amp that does 1200RMS at 4 ohms (still underrated); Nudge, Nudge. Hit me with PM if you want more on this

Thanks for the replies guys
I just thought it would be eazier with 1 amp but the more I look at the higher wattage mono amps I see they are mostly all class "d" and seem to have a lot dirtier signal THD than the A/Bs I already have( I really dont know if my ears could tell, but??). I have yet to install this stuff so I just figured before I go thru the work of wiring it and mounting it I would ask your opinions, im glad I did [img]graemlins/bow.gif[/img] Seems every time I second guess myself I screw-up a good plan [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]
