I want the cleanest possible sound I can get from my xxx when I get it. Money is no option.

I was looking into the jl 1000/1's for the sub, one on each coil. People said overpriced, but for my application and what it has to offer I don't think many can compare in my opinion.

I want clean, low distortion sound. Regulated power supply, as I will be playing the subs mostly with the car off or at idle. And my alternator doesn't put out much at idle.

I heard that Brax, Helix, and McIntosh were pretty much top of the line. But don't know much about them.

I plan on getting a stinger isolator for the batteries in the trunk.

I have 8v preouts on my HU and plan on using all 8 volts of them. So I need something that can take up to 8v.

If you guys have any ideas/links to other amps please let me know 'cause I wanna have them ready for when the sub gets here...

BTW for my box I will be building a slot port, 2.5cuft tuned to 30hz... Think it will turn out nice? Right now my type R 10 tuned to 35hz fills the cabin up so nice. It's not super loud, but extremely low in my opinion.

Any suggestions would be awesome... Thanks!

Actually, the Trutechnology H-1 are some of the better "SQ" monoblocks out there. Takes a knowledgeable person to use it as it can lend itself to internally fail if voltage is not monitored. Friend had one catch on fire whenhe was running it below the recommended voltage. Amp will make lots of power and sonically be very good on the damping.

Brax and Helix are awesome stuff. Very pricey, but great quality. Sat in a demo vehicle with all Brax speakers and amps (with Helix as well) and it sounded insanly clear. I my self will be runnign Helix (Dark Blue) amps in my car and I cant wait to hear them with my set up.

maybe some other people know more about it than me but i think the xtant 1001x looks like a really good amp.

I'd get a Brax just for the lifetime warranty. They're built like tanks.

Sinfoni makes great amps as well, I'd imagine the new Arc Robert Zeff SE amps are great as well.
