Heres the deal. I bought a zx2500.1 to run two 12" Q's. After a lot of electrical upgrades my car still had trouble powering the amp. I sold it and decided to just run one sub. I am now looking for a good reliable efficient amp that will run 1000-1500w @ 1ohm. Some of the amps I have been looking at are audioque, mmats, and eD. Anyone w/ feedback on these amps, or suggestions on other brands? Budget is around or below $500. |

You should be fine with 1100 watts on the Q. 1600 might be pushing it. |

I was asking which because the mmats website says that the 1100.1 will only run 750w @ 1ohm and the 1600.1 is 1100w @ 1 ohm.
Are these ratings correct? |

I'd say the mmats amp is the best quality out of those.
The the AQ is the best value IMO, and is still very good quality |

Dwight, you got a very solid amp. Don't second guess it bud. Very solid amp.
As for finding an Mmats amp that strong fr under $500. The Mmats 1600.1 can be found on eBay for $480 shipped I believe. Rated at 1150rms @ 1 ohm. Sure it does more though. |

But the saz can be found for 450 or 475 from the right person hint hint which does 1500-1800 watts @ 1 ohm would be a better buy. |

AQ is the best value. Don't overspend based on brand. |

^^x2 no need to overspend if its not neccessary, but if u have the money then fine do it. but the price for the AQ1200D is like a steal for an true 1200watts amp prob does more then that. if i had the D2 version of the HDC315 i would use the AQ1200D to run it at 1ohm.but i ordered the D1 version when it came out cuz i have the zx1000.1 which is only stable at 2ohms. |
