i just bought 2 american bass xfl 12's having a box custom made to 4.5 cubit feet for them.. there 2000 watt max..

looking for a amp.. been loooking into a sundown amp.

or a american bass ph2500 amp

input please as i want to buy this amp within a few days

you would need the ph-4000.

the cheapest sundown amp that would work is $815

a good brand 2000rms@1ohm amp is going to cost a lot more than those subs deserve.

have you already prepped your electrical system for that much power?

im not trying to run a constant 2000 watts into these subs tho.. dont want them gettin killed in a year. i play my music loud i couldnt go with a ph 2500 and get a 1250 rms into each one? turn up the power and get a little bit more? have you seen what those subs do to a car? whole door will be flexing and doin the wave.. not trying to power those things all the ways like that


and i have a extra marina battery

You need to run what they're rated at
and when you see that in videos its usually the camera just getting fucked up by the bass
and youll need more than just "another battery", there's so much more you need to do before even thinking about adding a battery.

the 2500 would only throw 625 rms to each one at best. this is going to cause voice coil overheating most likely since its enough power to get it hot but not enough power to keep the subwoofer moving enough to cool it.

rms rating is there so you can get an idea of normal operating power which is crucial to it working properly.

batteries are back up power and won't help anything other than cost you money. you need to upgrade your alternator(unless you have a 200amp or higher alternator already) and do a big 3 upgrade in zero gauge wiring.

dont think this is the camera shaking..

and i have a friend that has a pair of these running with a ph2500 and his doors do waves...

I feel that there are a lot of unpleasant surprises involved if you do not take advice.

You have a lot of misconceptions about what you're trying to do.

ya it was a very bad idea from the start. 2000rms out of the gate with zero knowledge of car audio is a very bad idea especially getting bargain bin stuff.

you end up spending as much on support mods as you did on the speakers and amps.

Ive heard an american bass 400.1 sounds good, never heard their subs. Amp depends on what coils you got on the subs
