Yes, DO NOT go with thoes PA amps. You are going to be very disappointed in the long run. They produce no where near the power they claim, and the build quality on thoes amps are horrible. Save up your money and put it towards a good quality amplifier. Maybe we can make some different suggestions. What is your budget? As for the brackets most of the time theses have to be custom made for the vehicle. There are only a handful of vehicles they make pre-manufactured brackets of that type for.

You want to run multiple alternators?  You'll most likely have to get a custom bracket fabricated for you.  Go talk to a good auto electrical shop in your area and see if they have a welder who can help.  Or call these guys.

And ditto on the PA amplifiers.

im just like the other guy with the pa amp but mine hasnt crapped out yet..... Yet that is. it was a good deal for the power i thought?  Im going to running the DD9518f two of them im sick of the light weight stuff I want tons of bass and tons of SPL ive been stuck at 145 db and it sucks. so what kinda amps put out true power without paying a dollar per watt?

DLS amps are nice.  US Amps has lots of fans and seem pretty good still, although they're not as good as they used to be.  I always liked JBL amplifiers.  Some of the Memphis stuff is still pretty good too, and some people like Cadence.  JL Audio amps are very nice, then there's Zapco and Audisson and Genesis and Brax/Helix but those may be out of your price range.

Thoes are usually around 2 grand, great amps but still pricey, What type of voice coils are on that sub? Ohm ratings and how many coils.

ok nothing is magic about the dollar per watt just an expression cuz there kinda pricy. Um maybe 500 to 700 dollars is the price range im looking for. The subs are either dual 2 or dual 4 spl or sql. also i listen daily loud daily. and ive just started on THE BIG 3 what should i be seeing with the volt meter or do i need to be using a ammeter on what wire?

The Big 3: https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp~TID~73496~PN~1  You should be using an ohm meter.

For 500-700 bucks I'd probably buy this subwoofer amp:  JL Slash V2

You get your first star after 50 posts. Look into the JBL GTO24001 (around 700 dollars) 2400 RMS at 2 ohms. Get the dual 2 ohm version subwoofers so they can be wired into a 2 ohm total load.

Check out DCpowerinc for your bracket. They seem to be able to make brackets for anything, and do good work.... I haven't used one personally but i've seen nothing but happy people with them.

Coils will not affect sq. They make them in different ohm ratings simply for different wiring options. Did you check out the amp i suggested?

if you want to run 2 then get your subwoofers in the dual 4 ohm versions and run them in parallel to create a 2 ohm load for each amp.
