ok i am going to be using 1 alpine 12" type X... RMS is 1000 and 3000 peak... i dont want to spend a fortune on an amp so i was wondering if i could use a boss audio IQ3KD.1 to power it. is it too much power for the X? it has 3x30 fuses. and it claims it produces 1200 watts at 4 ohms has a max power of 2200 at 2 ohms... so it should get around 1500 watts at 2 ohms RMS. is there any way i can turn down how much power it sends to the sub? basically the reason i want this is because its 200 dollars vs a 450 dollar amp for the same power.... so will the boss be ok for the X or will it be too much power for the X?

man stay away from Boss!
I know you don't want to have to sell your left nut or anything, but look at the Hifonic's BX1800D at
www.sonicelectronix
it is a sweet amp, and is $309.
It is way better than the Boss, it will put out cleaner and more reliable power!

Acutally, The Boss IQ amps are not that bad at all. It should be fine. I hear alot of good things about the IQ models considering its BOSS.

what about the hifonic's 1500D ? it says it produces 1000 at 2 ohms and has 2x60 amps... one of the biggest things i am worried about using these cheaper amps is... well is there actual power versus what they claim they can produce? anyone have any actual power ratings for boss or hifonics amps??

I don't know about boss, but Hifonic's is really good with there rating's.
The Hifonic's 1500D put's out 1000 watt's at 2 ohm's? I thought it only put out 500 watts at 2 ohm's!

Ya i was just looking it up, you are right, 1000 at 2 ohm's. I was thinking of the 1000D.
The 1500D would work better than the BX1800D it only put out 900 watt's at 2 ohm's and is like 70 dollars more.
