What's the best 3,000-3,500 watt mono block class d amp i can get?

[sundownclown 2]

aight so i will be getting two 12 DSS Ethos in oct.. they are 1,800 watts RMS.. there is two so could i get a 3,000 watt amp for them or will i need to get a 3,500 watt amp?? also i only have about 650$ to spend on a amp which sucks.. any thoughts on what i should do? i kno i will be needing to get a second battery and a better battery for under the hood.. i never really had much of a system.. i only have two 10's now and a Hifonics BE1700.1 for the 10's and a alpine 4 channel for my door spearkers.. this will be my first time upgrading my electrical.. will i need to get a better alternator or can i just rock the 2 better batterys..  my new build will be the two 12 Ethos.. a 3,000-3,500 watt amp for the Ethos and the alpine 4 channel amp and 4 5x7's.. i hope i can slide with just the two batterys cause dont think i can afford a nice alternator..

Quality watts over quantity. Any selection in the SSA Store would work well. Buy what you can afford, you don't absolutely need to have 3500 watts

I'd recommend 3,500. My team members have had success with B2 and American Bass.

Check out Swifts f250 build log in the build log section. He is using a newer companies amp that also has decent pricing.

[Quentin Jarrell 671]

With your budget I would get two used Crescendo BC2000's and strap them. Or keep your eye out for a used 3-4k for 650. 

 

650 dont go very far when talking about a new quality amp.

ive had good luck with audioque/soundqubed. fosgate power series. and as of now im running a crescendo bc3500 on a single 12 zcon and im impressed with it as well..

[antoinez28 62]

Don't get too caught up in worrying about power. It takes a large difference in power to make even a small audible difference.

[sundownclown 2]

I ordered it!!! Ampere aa 3,800.1 beast!! im so happy.. this will be the first REAL amp i ever bought.. cant wait till this comes together

Yes but make sure to upgrade that wire to 1/0 or better and watch the voltage. Make sure to be gentle on the gain and dont go crazy. I hope the Big 3 wiring is done underhood in 1/0 as well. Get an AGM battery for under the hood as well, the biggest one you can fit. How big is the trucks stock alternator?

The question would be would I do it, no I wouldnt. But there are probably a few people who have ran 2k on a stock electrical with good results.

[garychurch84 127]

be gentle with gain settings!!!

 

 

 

edit:I hate to say it,if it were me I'd use DMM method so you know your not over doing it!! in this case only

Yikes no.

[garychurch84 127]

Yikes no.

lol I understand! Figured it would be ok if he sets it for 600w for the SA 10.OTHER THAN THAT THEN NO!

[pmureika 31]

Now that is what extra headroom is!

A lot of amp for that sub.

Be careful with the gain or better yet get a sub that would match up better.

Till you get your other subs.
