Just bought two Elemental Design 13Ov.2 subs, and eventually I'm going to need to power them fully. Any recommendations on what amp wouldn't short change these on SQ and power? (also obviously not burn all my money)

Don't worry too much about the budget for it, but I got quoted on a nice amp for $500. I'd prefer less than that, but I think thats a reasonable price to pay for a good amp of this power.
And yes, I'm aware of the HO alt situation. I'm hoping t find a 250 amp alot at a god price.
Any links to sites that sell HO alts for imports?

Amp question still stands. thanks!

the subs are 1000 watts RMS each with DVC4 ohm coils. I'll be wiring to 1 ohm.
Sorry that I left out so much information.

md3d or even the audioque 2200d but i think that would be pushing those pretty hard

Justin, why do you say that? I'll be putting them in a properly sized box, tuning the amp correctly, etc. Its unlikely I'll ever be running them at full power with test tones :P
If you have good reason - let me know

Also, I don't know much about the md3d. Pricing?
Those Adioques also look pretty good. How's there pricing? or where do I look to get the amp at a reasonable price?

I'm currently considering the Cadence DCA-2500D. Overpowering for sure, but this will let me keep the gains in a comfortable range. And I can get a good deal on it.

Open to the current suggestions for sure though!
thanks a lot

Can't lie...all that AQ stuff looks great. I read every word on their website. I'm pretty impressed with their design philosophy, especially on their subs.
I missed the price listings the first time I was on the site, so thanks for the help.
Any opinions on the amps other than generallu good. I'm just curious of how people feel about them. That price is absolutely fantastic...

I'd run that AQ amplifier over the Cadence amp because Cadence isn't what they used to be.

Isn't AQ not what they used to be also? Moving their manufacturing to China, etc?


thats just speculation, correct me if I'm wrong. I don't know much about AQ
