New Amp....
So thanks to everyones help on CCA i've decided to get a big amp instead of another MRD-M1005. Here is a quick rundown...
My problem was the Amperage ran trough my car.
Getting 200AMP Alt soon. But didnt want to run amplifiers that would over power that.
Amp Ran for sure is a pdx.4.150 or pdx.4.100 both 60amps though.
So i need advice on a single Amplifier that will do about 2000watts+.
Sub is 4ohm DVC.
I've been thinking of the Hifonics Colossus II...
2 x 600-Watts.....RMS @ 4-Ohms
2 x 1100-Watts....RMS @ 2-Ohms
2 x 1600-Watts....RMS @ 1-Ohm
1 x 2000-Watts....Bridged Mono @ 4-Ohms
1 x 3200-Watts....Bridged Mono @ 2-Ohms
Now this is gonna sound stupid... but 2subs going to 1 channel = bridged?

The big MTX amp or the big DD amp might be one to consider. The second to last MTX amp I brought in came rated for 1500w rms into 1 ohm but was measured at 1968w rms into 1 ohm. That is a amp to consider right there.

And of course there is his bigger brother yet as well.

You would wire the sub to the amp like this:

I'll take a pic of my type-X for you...
There is a jumper and you can switch it from 2 ohm to 4ohm and to 8ohm....
Its not like a Type-R.... its a lil wierd how they made the sub...
BUT my question is .... why is everyone telling me about 1 ohm... my sub isnt ment for 1 ohm
And could you post the Amplifier names so i can actually take a look at their specs and stuff

I thought I read somewhere that you had two subs, not one. Clarify that for us. One sub = 2 ohm, 2 subs = 1 ohm. Macrom has a 1500w rms 2 ohm amp that can be had under the $1000 mark (thanks to being bought on sale - I like buying things on sale as much as the customer does).
