Silver Member Username: Loc_outPost Number: 154 Registered: Feb-05 | 2 15' AVA! |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Post Number: 1132 Registered: Feb-05 | For 2 15 Avalanches all you really need is one solid amplifier. Check out the CrossFire VR1000D. That is what i got for my system and its tested at 1332 watts rms at 12.5 volts !! That is more then 600 rms a piece for each Avalanche 15 which will sound very good and very loud if thats what you want. You can get more info on it from www.crossfirecaraudio.com and buy it at www.woofersetc.com which is where i got mine. Also you can look into JL 1000/1, Zapco C2K 9.0, Orion HCCA 275 or the XTR series, PPI PC and PCX series. You can find these most places online and defenitly on ebay for the older stuff like Orion HCCA 265 and XTR amps and PPI PC and PCX but Zapco and JL and CrossFire you can find on www.woofersetc.com For overall value go with CrossFire VR1000D and it will be more efficiant as its a class D and only pulls 120A at full draw of 1332 rms which you probably wont even use everyday. If you are into competition then get the CrossFire VR2000D which is double and true rms. Just make sure you upgrade your alternator if you go with that. |

New member Username: BasshdPost Number: 1 Registered: May-05 | Do not buy zapco from woofers etc.. the serial numbers are sometimes altered. Not only that zapco will not honor any warranty if you purchase from woofersetc here is why, this is from Bob at zapco had to say, BUYER BEWARE: It has come to our attention again that a company known as Woofers etc. is selling Zapco products on the Internet. We emphatically say Woofers etc. is not an authorized Zapco dealer. Also, we don't exactly know how it's happening but amplifiers bought from this company and sent to us for repair have lost their original Zapco serial numbers, even the serial numbers we carefully hide inside each unit. This removal or defacement of the official Zapco serial number voids Zapco's product warranty completely and borders on legally questionable action. We once again warn all of you out there to make absolutely certain you are buying a fully warrantable Zapco product by asking to see the original ARPA of America Warranty Registration Card originally shipped with the unit (a serial number is always affixed to this card) or ask for the actual serial number and call us to verify its authenticity. Tampered products hurt you and damage the reputation you've come to expect from Zapco products. Beware and check for an original Zapco serial number every time you buy Zapco.

Silver Member Username: Loc_outPost Number: 157 Registered: Feb-05 | Its going to be hard picking an amp! what are some 800rms amp? |
|
Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 2903 Registered: Nov-04 | Depending on your budget, Orion XTR/JBL/MTX/Audiobahn might be it. A8000T is probably the cheapest amongst the list. For power, Orion XTR (1400 sold for $250 before) is the best for the money then JBL. MTX seem to be a little higher in cost. |
|
Gold Member Username: Suleman36Post Number: 1138 Registered: Feb-05 | Your best bet is finding a old school amp on ebay that actually meets what it claims wattage wise. Go for the Orion or PPI on ebay. |
|
Gold Member Username: Suleman36Post Number: 1139 Registered: Feb-05 | I bought a CrossFire VR1000D from www.woofersetc.com and it had the serial # and everything included just like it whould from a manufacturer. If i get it installed by a CrossFire dealer then i get 3 years warranty and if i do it myself it is covered for 1 year. So i didnt have any problems with Serial #'s missing and all. |
|
Gold Member Username: Suleman36Post Number: 1140 Registered: Feb-05 | I paid $449.99 plus $19.99 shipping for the crossfire VR1000D amp. Highly recommend it as its so underated and isnt really discussed much on forums. here is a good article on his and the zapco and 2 others in its class. |
|
Silver Member Username: Loc_outPost Number: 158 Registered: Feb-05 | $449.99 plus $19.99 shipping that good will it be able to push both AVA? |

They offer the best price anywhere. You can even talk him to giving you a better price. You can tell him MO sent you. |
|
Silver Member Username: Loc_outPost Number: 162 Registered: Feb-05 | How much did you pay? |
|
Gold Member Username: Suleman36Post Number: 1147 Registered: Feb-05 | I paid $125 for a ported box for a JL 12W6v2 plus $25 shipping and i live in MD. My guess whould be that you will pay around $250-$300 or so. I whould call and find out right now. See if he can work a deal with you. Mention i sent you. Say MO passed the good word out. Im sure he will help you. He is a fair guy and does the job right. P.S. If go ported it will be SICK!!!!!!! BASS |

|
Silver Member Username: Loc_outPost Number: 164 Registered: Feb-05 | LOL |
|
Silver Member Username: Loc_outPost Number: 165 Registered: Feb-05 | How big should i make my box? |
|
Gold Member Username: Suleman36Post Number: 1152 Registered: Feb-05 | Go with 3.5 cubic ft. tuned to 24hz since you want alot of BASS. |
|
Gold Member Username: Suleman36Post Number: 1155 Registered: Feb-05 | I whould personally go 3.5 tuned to 22hz which is alot for me for a everyday driver. Based on what experienced users like James Longo, im gonna have my Avalanche 15 sealed at around 2.2 to 2.5 cubic feet. |
|
Silver Member Username: Loc_outPost Number: 167 Registered: Feb-05 | i may just go sealed!after all i want some sq. |

Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 2367 Registered: Aug-04 | It'll definitely be the easiest. |
|
Silver Member Username: Loc_outPost Number: 169 Registered: Feb-05 | yep what size should i make the box? its going into a denali? |
|
Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 2369 Registered: Aug-04 | Just go about 2.5 cubes. Don't worry about wood thickness and speaker displacement, it doesn't matter if the final volume is a little less than 2.5. Anywhere from 2 - 2.5 would work fine. |
