if i bought 2 FI Qs that are dual 2 ohm, i was wondering wat is a good amp to hook them up too they are each 1000 watts RMS, i would like to go with a one amp setup as well, preferably under 450 or so for the amp. also if i have 2 DVC subs at 2 ohms each ( four 2 ohm voice coils altogether) then how would i wire them and at what ohm load would a one amp setup work?

If you have another $50, go for the JL 1000/1......Top quality, and will last for years. You will be able to wire both of your subs to it with no problem.

you can wire to 2ohm or .5

i dont know what Q^^is talking about that jl amp would be a bad choice. not near enough power.

maybe get an orion 2500d and wire to .5ohm or get a sundown1500d and wire to .5ohm

no matter what your going to need a good charging system

so if i can wire quad 2 ohm coils at .5 or 2 ohms, then i can wire quad 1 ohm coils at 1 ohm or .25 ohms correct?

Come on mat, you know that 1000/1 is seriously underrated, and your also right, I would choose the JL for SQ and the Orion for SPL, my badd.

youve got to be jokeing. that JL is not underrated or over rated but rated acuratly. by no means is it seriously underrated. and he siad he has 2 D2 subs and you cant run the 1000/1 at .5ohm only 1.5

you will not be able to tell anydifference in the SQ by useing the JL and orion. the orion will just give those subs more power then the jl which they need




and troy if you get 2 dual 1 FiQs then yes you can wire to 1ohm.

and then quentin says i don't know about car audio. C'mon man, the jl 1000/1 is 1000-1200w rms, how is this going to push two 1000w rms subs to full capacity?????? use logic...

seriously, for a cheap amp putting 2000w rms at 0.5 ohms, lanzar optidrive 2000d can put that at 0.5 ohms for 330 shipped and 1 year warranty. Nobody likes it but the power is there and the quality is still decent.

Other choice would be to strap two 1200w rms amp at 1 ohm or run them normally.
