New member Username: Pawg1146Post Number: 1 Registered: Jan-09 | I currently have an MTX 9500 15' running wit a 2000 watt SSL amp... I have this running with an extra kinetic battery in the trunk of my 2002 suburban... I am looking for a louder single sub setup... I'm looking for some ear busting bass and I need a quality woofer that has solid SQ unlike the solo X.... thanks for helping me out guys |

They an quality 18" in ~5.5-7cuft (depending on sub), tune to ~38hz on paper to get a little louder. Also, that 2000w SSL amp is likely only about 800wrms. Go to a REAL 1200-2000w (depending on charging system). DD9518 DD3518 Fi BL18 Fi BTL18 RE SX18 RE XXX18 AQ HDC18 RD Alpha18 Box design will make a world of difference in you vehicle. |

New member Username: Pawg1146Post Number: 2 Registered: Jan-09 | well... I ran it and at 2 ohms I was getting about 1400 RMS... I might be able to upgrade depending on what my friends are doing with their old amps... |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana Team Audible... Post Number: 7220 Registered: Mar-04 | Chris, just to let you know...your SSL amp is not capable or producing 2000w. Even at 1ohm, it is most likely only ~800-900wrms. So, at 2ohm you are seeing ~600wrms of clean power at best. Those SSL amps are very overrated. It is one of those "you get what you pay for" kinda things. Do me a favor and tell me what size fuses your amp has in it? |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana Team Audible... Post Number: 7221 Registered: Mar-04 | Yes, both of those amp are far more powerful than your current SSL. Try the RF t2000. I bet you notice much cleaner more powerful sound. |

Silver Member Username: Armykyle1Ms Us Post Number: 168 Registered: Dec-08 | RF T2000, make sure you have a proper fuse in place. @2 ohms it'll push 1500w which is more than what that sub is rated at. bottom line get rid of the 9500 get the jackhammer24 |
