1ohm or 2ohm, if 2ohm try to find an mtx 1501d does 1000wrms at 12volts so around 1500wrms on a good electrical system, if 1ohm maybe a IA20.1 although its gonna be kinda exspensive.

LOL well those two amps are pretty opposite in terms of quality.......

IA 20.1 = awesome

MTX = teh suck



You could put up to ~1500 watts on those subs. Even if your electrical system won't handle that (it may or may not) you could just turn down the gain and run the amp at lower power.

In the shop, we point people toward the Clarion DPX11500 when they look at DD2500's.
Its rated 1500wrms at 1 and 2ohm.(CEA2006 cert.)

From what I have seen, its pretty dam efficient and produces rated power.

There is only 1 drawback I have seen w/ the Clarion 1500w...its big.

Takes up alot of space.

If you want a dam clean amp...look into a DD M2.
Those amps look secks-eeeeeeeeeeee. :-)

M.S. for someone who has alot of knowledge u bad mouth alot of products that dont deserve it

u mean to tell me a mtx1501d is a bad amplifier .. if u believe so ur out of ur mind ..

get what ever u can afford dwight ... none of the amplifiers here are of bad quality .. some above others but none of them are gonna provide any different sound then another ... unless your a complete audiophile ... and without an upgraded electrical .. find the one thats easier on the electrical

Yea...MTX makes dam nice amps, but they are $$$$$.

Dwight,
I have put the Clarion up against the Autotek mm1400.1d in a heads up comparison.
It was on the sound wall in the shop...both at 1ohm on 2512's :-)

The Clarion won...hands down.
Its a budget powerhouse.
(oh...and did i mention they are strappable :-))
