New System (Hertz & IDMax) - Best Amp Choice?
Putting together a system for my Camaro.
HU is a Pioneer P880, comps are Hertz MLK165’s and sub is the IDMAX 12” D4. What is a good (powerful enough) amp to run my new Hertz MLK165 comps and 12" ID MAX? I understand the MLK's like lots of power. Was considering an Alpine PDX-V9 but not sure if it will produce enough power (100w x 4) for the mids to benefit. As the sub channel is 500w x 1, it should suit the ID fine. I was also considering the JL XD600/6 for the Hertz MLK's giving 75w to the tweets and 180w bridged for the Mids. For a sub amp, I’m looking at: Kenwood XR-1S (700w) Sundown SAZ-1000D (600w) Alpine PDX-M6 (600w) Is there one that is heads above the rest? Should I spend a bit more and pick up the JLAudio XD 600/1 OR just stay with the PDX-V9 and put $$ towards more Dynamat? |
Out of the list the Sundown stands out. But I'd look for something closer to 1000w at 2 ohms for that IDMax. If you are looking at alpine then consider the MRP or MRD-1000, or the M110, in fact I have one that is almost NIB I could sell you. If you're looking at JL - the 1000/1. A sundown SAZ 1500D would be a better choice then the 1000. Then you'd get close to 1k to the sub, and not far from 2k if you decide to add a second IDmax down the road.

Whats your budget and are you only looking for new gear?

My budget is $750 max. I'd prefer to stay with a single amp for simplicity reasons. The amp(s) have to fit in an area 19.5" x 13.75" in the spare tire area of the car.
Is the Alpine not powerful enough? Suggestions? I prefer great sq with good volume. Sample Amp board https://www.caraudioforumz.com/attac...ine=1377983553 https://www.caraudioforumz.com/attac...ine=1377983553 |
If you're sticking with one sub you might as well get the most of it. I'd look for 1000-1200w rms at 2 ohms if I were you. That Idmax will shine with the extra power on tap.

especially for small space. end of story. by the way i have run hertz mlks and idmax's and the IDMAX do not need power at all 500 watts is plenty. they dont handle power well in my opinion. |

IMO if you don't want to spend the $$ on the HD900/5 then the PDX-V9 is the second best choice in a compact 5ch amp.
