Amps

[kwschs 1]

Jacob recommend I throw 2 12 SA D4's in my 3 series BMW, and I am going to place the order, but what should i use to power them? Should i just get 1 amp (1500) or get two 1000's. The amp is going to be a sundown model so that's what we are working with.

get the 1500! those bad boys are so under rated!!

it does 1970rms at 12.8volts!!

yea... that's a 0.5 ohm nominal load too which isnt recommended for daily driving.

the saz-1500d is still a good choice for such install.

Any 1200-2000w that is capable of doing rated power at 1ohm or bridged at 4 ohm is fine as long as you have the electrical system for it.

So putting two of those 4 ohm subs on the 1500d will make it a .5 ohm load? I don't really like the idea of running it that low, what do you recommend? Can't i just wire both so the load is still 4ohm?

[shizzzon 461]

no, that 1900w rating that was mentioned was on a 0.5 ohm load.

Dual 4 ohm subs can be wired to 1ohm so you're fine.

One SAZ-1500D @ 1 ohm works quite well.
