I listen to my system for 45min straight usually, so cool amps are my friend. Keep me updated tho, maybe i can camoflage it. Im trying to keep a stock look as much as possible. The subs are going to be fiberglassed to poke out only a little bit from above the rear fender wells.

Anyone play with the JBL BPX2200.1 ?? Is it truly 2450 wrms at 4 ohm? Is it a clean amp? I want sound quality with the benifits of spl.

Whats the current draw on that amp?

There are literally dozens of great amplifiers available today that will produce 1200 - 1500 watts at 1Ohm for $900 -$1500. If you want a small amp you will need to run at 1 ohm (class D), simply beacuse any decent amp that will produce a true 1000 watts at 4 ohms will be ginormous (gigantic + enormous). The amp that I would recommend would be Diamond Audio D51200.1 - I cant say enough about this amplifier. I have hear it in several different installs with any type of sub and it sounds phenomenal. Also, it is pretty small (12" x 14.5" x 2.75") for a top-of the line 1200 watt amp. (Actaul output of this amp at 1 ohm will be closer to 1400 watts). This amp was reviewed by CA&E last year and received an exceptional score for SQ and Styling. If you can't tell I love this amp. Oh yeah, and it's only $900 MSRP. Here is a lonk to Diamond Audio

I would go with the mrd-m1001 but i would need 2 of them and i dont have that kinda room with my plans.

The Diamond D7402 caught my eye, any idea of the internet price?
