Anonymous | What would be the best amp to push two kicker 10L5's |
Bronze Member Username: Alias747Post Number: 79 Registered: Apr-05 | Your gonna have to be more specific dog. You cant expect people to just know everything about your subs. Give details like... ohms of sub, SVC, DVC, RMS power handeling and what your budget is for an amp. I happen to know that those are 450 RMS subs. But what do you have, the Dual 2-ohm or dual 4-ohm version. Details man, details. It's important. |
Anonymous | Sorry to forget about the details im pretty new to this but there the 4-ohm version and i got about 1000 to spend on a amp |
allende5 Unregistered guest | Spend about $600 and change and get a JL Audio 1000/1 on eBay! |
Silver Member Username: Loc_outPost Number: 187 Registered: Feb-05 | If you have $1000 bucks to spend on an AMP why are you only spending $80 on the sub? |

Bronze Member Username: Mikechec9Chicago/atlanta Post Number: 46 Registered: May-05 | that is not a bad sub at all. its more of an spl sub than sq, so it will hit hard, but not be quite as accurate. and those subs are 250.00 each retail. you can have those babies sounding lovely. also, i would not spend the entire 1000.00 on an amp as there is other equipment in car audio besides subs and amps. i agree that that jl would be 1 on my list: jl 1000/1: 700.00 it's an efficient d class amp http://www.woofersetc.com/product.asp?0=314&1=315&3=1788 mbquart raa1000. you could power each sub with one amp (2amps) at 500watts a piece. 300.00/amp. www.crutchfield.com/S-wYrbAR2blA3/cgi-bin/prodview.asp? i=049RAA1000&g=130&search=mb+quart&SearchDisplay=MB+Quart rockford fosgate T10001bd 500.00 will give you the power at 1 ohm without running hot or taking power from your system http://www.woofersetc.com/product.asp?0=451&1=452&3=3232 |

Silver Member Username: Skyliner17Saint Paul, MN United States Post Number: 140 Registered: Apr-05 | get either a zapco ref 1100.1 or arc audio 1500 xxk. |
Bronze Member Username: Mikechec9Chicago/atlanta Post Number: 52 Registered: May-05 | the jl will run them great. the zapco is a great amp, but the fan is a bit loud and it is not class d. it is class a/b and will put a considerable strain on your charging system. and it runs about 1.00/watt (expensive). woofersetc.com gives you 1-2yr warranty on all items. thats why i prefer it over ebay. |
Bronze Member Username: Mikechec9Chicago/atlanta Post Number: 63 Registered: May-05 | well, the zapco is the same price as the jl on woofersetc.com. didn't even know they sold them. i might have gone zapco instead of ss. |
Silver Member Username: SolacedagonyNew Jersey US Post Number: 443 Registered: Oct-04 | Go Tru Tech ;) Or US Amps. Class A/B is better than class D for SQ, although yes, it is less efficient. Just upgrade your alt and you won't have to worry about it. |
Silver Member Username: Skyliner17Saint Paul, MN United States Post Number: 148 Registered: Apr-05 | yeah but at full power the jl 1000/1 will draw almost as much as the zapco 1100. |
Bronze Member Username: Mikechec9Chicago/atlanta Post Number: 71 Registered: May-05 | w/an L5 i don't believe you'll be able to discern any difference in sq between an a/b and a class d amp. you could run a straight class A signal to them and you would just be dogging your charging system w/no variance. the jl utilizes JL's patented R.I.P.S. technology (not an avg class d amp). It switches to an appropriate rail voltage and stays there. very clean power with plenty of tuning options. its the only class D amp i have seen consistantly in sq competition. i agree, i prefer a/b over d any day b/c i don't have to consider the drain on my system (i almost went w/the 1100.1 myself). but if i did, i would run w/the jl (lack of originality aside). |
