as far as a 2000 watt amp Orion HCCA 2100 will do the trick at 1ohm. it is rated at 1600 rms but that is at 12 volts it should have no prob doing 2000 at 14. |

Do you have alternator that can cover 2000w rms? That is a lot of power. At that range, the speaker terminals will have enough voltage to shock you, especially at bridged mode. So be careful.
As for the amp, Zapco has C2k 9.0 model. It is rated 2000w but you will get much more. Last time I checked on eBay, it sold for $900.

Isaac,
I prolly dont have the alt power...yet. I'm running an alterstart 180A alt. I also have a stock alt that I am going to rebuild. I wont be running full tilt all day, just for burps.
I may just go w/ something bout 1600wrms. I have been looking at cadence amps, a buddy of mine just got a zrs9. He seems to like it on his immortal 15", but i havnt heard it yet. I'm kinda iffy about cadence though. I called up their tech support to ask about the z7000 (rated for bout 1600w+ @1ohm). They claimed that its max current draw was like only like 120A. Isnt that like 110% efficient? lol...Anyone have any "real-world" specs on cadence amps?
oh, and hunter,
its tempting...but i'll have to pass. lmao

Just curious, how can you stand that much power pounding inside your car? I have 1800W amp and so far 200W shakes the crap out of the car. I haven't been able to get past that without causing damage to tail lights/mirrors/muffler.
As for Candence amp, with 120A fuse, I don't see how it's going to give out 1600w rms. It doesn't add up. Reminds me of Sony and Pyramid ads.
You know which amp actually gives around 1600w rms? Orion HCCA 275G4. That amp comes with 180A fuse.

I have a 98 ext cab chevy silverado. I'm not totally sure how loud i'm gonna be w/ 1600wrms. I'm pretty sure i'm going w/ 1600wrms now though. I ordered an X.X.X.
I could play the brahma 10" on the bp1200.1 and the back wall of the cab would flex bout an inch. I havnt broken anything though. And the cab holds the sound in very well.
I thought the 275g4 was rated at 1200wrms @1ohm. Is it what under rated? Are you thinking about the 2100g4 maybe...they are rated at 1600wrms @1ohm. |

No Orion HCCA 275G4 is stated at 1200W rms, but that is with 12v. In your car it's 13.8v - 14v. This will boost the amp's power numbers. You should be able to get 1500w - 1600w rms. Unlike some cheap amps, this is real power. This is why I like the HCCA G4 series.

Isaac,
You wouldnt happen to know where i could find one of those 275g4's would ya?
I got to thinking bout it and i wondered if a hifonics bx1800d or bx2200d would do the trick. I really wanna find some "real-world" info on the hifonics amps. I know they are both overrated, but I'm not how much. |

Finding 275G4 is as hard as trying to find gold. People that have them, rarely sell it. It's one of those amps that were designed with perfection in mind. Can't believe the features it comes with. It not only has great slew rate, SN Ratio, damping factor, channel separation, frequency bandwidth, it's also .5ohms stable in stereo, 1ohm in bridged, it also has crossover for LP/HP and bandpass, separate phase shift switch for each channel. On top of that, the power numbers are for 12v, not 14.4 like most RF and Kicker brands use.
I'd never use Hifonics products for high power application. You see, any time you go above 1500W rms, you're dealing with high voltage. On the speaker terminals, there are enough juice to shock you. So you will want a brand/product that you can trust.

I know what ya mean...hifonics has always been a real iffy brand in my eyes.
I know that the G4s are great amps, but I doubt i'll find a 275g4 any time soon...lol...I just didnt realize they were that underrated. They are few and far between.
When you see them...bout how much do they sell for? |

Last time I checked they sold for $400. That is still a bargin. You try and find an amp that's almost 1600w rms with all the features I listed. It'll either cost you couple of grand or doesn't exist.
It's a shame that amps like that had to be discontinued. I'd buy those amps any day. The same for PPI's Art series. |

yeah the PPI's are great amps as well but they are only stable @ 4ohms mono thats their downfall. Great great mids and high ams and if you are running a 4 ohm sub very nice as well but when you drop it to 2 ohms it draws serious serious power and it isnt recomended by PPI. |
