Quick question.... so i know PA is supposed to be overrated but when i was clipping my JBL1200.1 amp with them and getting readings of upto 78V constant the subs 2 PA Mofo12's took it like a champ....besides the very very minor distortion (probally mainly because of clipping rather than subs) so i decided to buy a Earthquake PHD5000 since i found one for 468$ on ebay that comes along with a 5yr. warranty as long as its installed by a proper dealer ( i can easily go into the local shop and have them just take a quick look at my setup and write me a receipt stating its installed correct ect. for just a few bucks... but does that sound like a deal./.... i payed 502$ shipped, with priority shipping ... 3000rms @ 2ohm on 2 12"PA Mofo12's in custom 2.5cu2 boxes tuned to 40hz.... if these subs take the intense beaating for about a month im still replacing them but what kind of subs should i get.... i will also be buying another one of these amps as well.. i want each sub on its own amp taking the 3000rms @ 2ohm preferablly 12's so i dont have to rebuild the whole box again..... that thing was a b!tch to build and still needs to be carpeted...

Is this amp overrated, under rated or about right? I had the 10000model before but it was defective and always had problems but was a beast, but that amp has different mods to make it linkable, if i am remembering right they are basically the same except the 5000 dos not have the mods neccisary to strap\link it to another ph10000

remember that earthquake amps have high THD, they're SPL mostly.

For subs get a BTL dual 1 ohm

well im sorta dropping off the SQ for the blazer, im gunna do that with the next car i buy (the impala) but i was thinking... if i get a 2ohm DVC solo x 18 and get 2 of these amps.... put one on each VC at about 3000rms each.... or a little less.. but that should be really loud right? I just found a place in bridgeveiw il that can make custom boxes... so i dont care about that no more.. ill pay for the box since they arent gunna r@pe me for uilding it like a sounds shop 600-800 cost..

Ok, i have a few things to say now that these Power Acoustiks subs are installed right..... they arent half bad for the price i payed... (2) 12' Mofo 12's for 300$ on the eartthquake phd5000 gettin about 3000rms... They are handlin the power fine and are getting LOUD as hell, im sure on better subs it would be louder but i got people complaining about me having it to high when there in the car as it is now, but my power does drop and ALOT with the 2 optimas i have 1 red 1 yellow top on the 0gauge with my 200A alt put back in.
