Hey,
I am wondering what you all think would be a very good 1000+ watt rms amp, for my "12 mtx 9500? it needs to be between a 1000-1200 watts rms @ 2ohms! If you could give me a ruff price for the amp used that be great too!! I have used mtx amps and I do like them, but I havent been able to find a 1501d so I'm expanding my search, but I would like the quality of the amp to be similar if not better then mtx!

Thanks a lot
David

I was thinking of a memphis 16-mc1500d! what do you guys think? To much power for the sub?

Question!
I was told that doubling the watts, will gain 3db. Is this true?
Thanks
David

I think the rule was doubling watts gives you 2 or 3. Someone explained it before, but I forgot for sure.

 

A general rule in power is a doubling of rms wattage or a doubling of the number of speakers will gain 3db. A bigger gain in output is usually done by using the proper box.

 

I am using the sledgehammer box from mtx! what do you guys think of it for spl? it is ported. and it weighs about 102lbs if that makes a difference?

US-Amps DE-1000 is a really nice amp. I'm not sure if US Amps still makes them or not . . . it is handcrafted in the USA. I think US Amps may be having their amps mass produced in Asia now, which sucks

clarion DPX1001.1 or the new DPX1200.1 will get you close to 1200watts for under 450.
