Got my ssd's in yesterday, they seem to be closer to 7 inches mounting depth rather than 6.5.. not good news for me...

I am trying to run 2 fi ssd's in my truck at 2 ohms... i would like to find an amp that is 2000 rms at 2 ohms... would like something cheap working on a budget here.. any suggestions?

I set my gains by using a multimeter.

I have just heard underpowering can be much more harmful than giving them a little more then what they need.

Thanks, will have to save up a little bit of money before i start scraping it out on a new amp. But thanks again for the suggestions!

I believe that! haha... but didnt they use to only be rated at 800 rms?

My amp says it is 2000 rms x1 channel... I know that is probably not true, but i just dont know if that sundown would have more power than mine.. I know it is a better quality amp but still just unsure. Especially when it says these subs are 1000 rms each, so that would still be starving them from getting what they really want..

Also i got them switched too dual 1 ohm each, so i am going to be wiring them down to 1 ohm. I have not done any battery upgrades or the big 3 but that will come with time. I am going to try to push them with my amp for now but i know that they will be underpowered so a new amp will also come with time.

12"s.. box is sealed.

I did.. Hope for the best i suppose, thanks. Also the subs will have about .87 cuft a piece i know its not much but its the best i could do.. Do you think they will have enough room to still sound good?

Because i already ordered them ( they are still awaiting fulfillment) and i just was not thinking correctly and ordered them both as 2 ohm...

Also i have the autotek m4000.1d which is 2000 rms at 1 ohm (so it says)... do you think i could wire it down to .5, or would that just blow the amp?

Looks like the ap3000 is running around $400...Where can i find the MMATS amps other than ebay?

I have heard that there are a lot of problems that can come from running at .5.

alright, thanks.

I have a box under my back seat that has a mounting depth of 6.7 inches... i am thinking about getting two fi x 12s, i have a 4000 watt mono block autotek amp.. any better ideas on woofers?

Alright i will be ordering the first one next paycheck.. once they have both come in i will post pictures and probably be asking for help on tuning the amp.. thanks for everything.

asked my buddy and all he said is it will not power down to 1 ohm, so im assuming that yes it wil only run at 2 ohms.. really sorry for all these questions but just want to make sure i make the right decision.

Okay, i wouldnt say autotek amps are that great. i got it for 180 off ebay brand new with everything.. but i still feel like it has more power than the kicker amp.. also with the SSA's would i want too get them as 1 ohm or 2 ohm?

well my friend was just going to let me have his kicker amp.. actual number for my budget... well dont want too spend any more money on amps or anything so i would say 700 for two 12 inch subs. which is right at the peak for the ssa icons..

and also i might be switching to a kicker zx 750.1 amp, would that take more power than my amp i have now?

not really sure how too.. i know the basics but nothing really about tuning an amp properly.

i will look into them, it is between them and the fi x 12s at this point.

the 12" q will not fit in the box because there mounting depth is 7" im only working with about 6.7 inches

yes they did the full install and they blew.. but i am in the air force (only an e-3) not a very high pay grade so not the highest budget... but will the mounting depth of the q's fit in this box?
