and i need it on a budget.
budget is $500... dont want a huge amp either...
i have a great deal on a memphis 4000 for $500.
i know i can get the audiopipe 3000 or 3500 under $400. i know they put out all the power but i want something of a higher quality...
i was thinking about 2 1500ds strapped since its a cheap route

what can yall recommend?

Lucked out and got a 20% off coupon when buying on ebay using paypal so I was able to pick up 2 DSC2000.1Ds for $450 shipped from sonic electronix. That is 4-4.5kw at 2 ohms.

The 3000 audiopipe is two 1500s in one case so the 3000rms rating is at 2 ohms, and will go into protect is played at 1 ohm.

What are you powering? 3-4kw *might* be overkill.

naw not overkill, just right :)
yea i know the 3000 is 2 1500d in 1 case. depending on how wired its 1500x2 at 1ohm or 3000x1 at 2ohm....
im liking the audiopipe 3500 so far and i can get it for 415.
i have a friend thats a dealer and he hasnt had 1 return or bad amp in 4 years so i know they're reliable.

im running a id max12 with a cadence A7 right now.. ive had this system since 2004. time for an upgrade and a lot more lowend

2 dsc2000's or any 1500+ watt maxxsonics amps for that matter. the crunch 3000 is a freakin beast. crunch name or not... still maxxsonics and put out every ounce of rated power
the dsc2000's arent made anymore last i checked.

im gonna run 2 audioque hdc3-15a's or 18s..with 1500-2000rms each

i just got an offer for a ap3000 for only $225, so i think ima do it and maybe upgrade later.
1500rms on these subs hardly even get them started. my cousin has a db drive 2000.1 with 1 hdc315(not aluminum coil) and its slams and actually sounds good playing r&b or jazz.

DSCs are not made anymore? Damn. I have a 2000.1, 4125, and now a 480 for my integra lol. I love the things.

So what subs are you trying to power? You already buy them?

from what i was told the discus line is still made but the 2000.1 isnt anymore.
the subs im getting are gonna be either 2 audioque hdc315-a's or 18's...
plan on buying them by thursday... takes a few days to get made and get shipped out to me. dont wanna put them in until i can get me a big alt... maybe a 260 or 300amp alt

You're going to have to ditch the third row anyway so might as well go with the 18s as you have ample space for them. A good bit louder off the same power.

Maybe maxxsonics is discontinuing the 2000.1 cause it cost too much to make or something. My friend's quit working and now he is getting the run around trying to get it fixed/replaced under warranty. Mine dsc2000.1 is a beast lol. I have it running a 2005 RE *** 18'' sealed in my little hatchback.

Let me know if you need some help building the box. I got a friend with a cnc router so it is easy and cheap to get creative when building.

with out a doubt need help on the box.
as for the 3rd row seat, i sold it 5 days after i bought the truck b/c it would've never been used. just a lil to tight back there.
i know ppl running 3000+rms to xxx12s. that 18 is begging for more power.
where are you located? im in duluth off pleasent hill/peachtree industrial

I am scared to throw any more power at my 18 to be honest. On like 1100rms I big time ****** up my right ear lol. I am a wuss. I just love the destructive low notes and good sounding, loud mids and highs.

So 18s? Are you planning on competing? Or just a ******* nasty daily pounder? If you're only going for 3-4k you might be fine copper coil and I would imagine that they would be nicer on music.

One hell of an amp right here but might be out of your price range: http://www.crescendoaudio.com/product.php?productid=17515

Can run half ohm daily for just over 4krms at 13.8v.

I have a blown powerbass xa3000d that you could probably get fixed for cheap.


I am game for helping you with the box. I am in alpharetta to be exact. I can help you with it in 5 weeks when I get done with school for the semester.
