Hey, if you guys have any suggestions on an amp, let me know. I am looking for a good quality amp at a fair price to put out anywhere from 1800-2400 watts RMS.

Do you realize how much 1800-2400 watts is?
Do you have about 500 dollars? that is how much you are looking at spending for a cheap one.

I'm aware of the power, it's either 1 big one or 3 small ones to power each sub, I prefer 1 big one.

2 big ones? for 500 will give you 2400... cheapest power I can find that sounds good... What are you using this to power? people hit around 160+ with that kind of power to 2 subs, about 1000 each

I'm trying to power 3 S12L7's close to full potential. They're 750RMS peak each, i wanna get them around 600 RMS each. If I get 2 amps won't I have to wire it where the ohm load will be raised thus causing the amp to be less efficient? I thought it would be better to get 1 huge amp or 3 smaller amps, 1 to each sub, that way you can lower the ohm load of the amp, am I wrong?

You know what kind of ohm load you would get on one amp... something really weird like 1.33... but you would probably want 3 amps

Cool, I look around at those. I wanna make it hard on the inside, right now it seems to be loud, but most of the sound seems to be trapped in the trunk. I dynamated and removed a plastic piece that was behind my back armrest. This helped a little bit, but not like what I was expecting. Could my sound troubles be because my subs are in a custom sealed box? Should I consider going ported? Or is it the lack of power from my one amp(MTX 8001)?

you should go ported.. it'll make your setup louder seriously.. and yea... 3 amps are better than 1 HUJANGUS amp.. well tahts just what i think hah

Well actually if you had the money I would go with one Tru power amp and keep it sealed. With 3 subs, you need to keep all the quality you can get...

A friend of mine recommended these amps: Earthquake PHD5000W, AutoTek MX 3000.1, Planet Audio VX2200D, Power Acoustik A3000DB, SPL Z1X3000D, Cadence ZRS-10
Anybody heard of these? Are they any good?

you have to keep in mind the load you'll be running....like Haibane said above, you're going to get something like 1.33 or 1.66 or 2.66 ohms, the only amps that will work well are the ones that put out the same power into multiple impedences such as JBL, PG, JL, etc.

yea, im thinking maybe i might be better off getting 3 amps even tho i dont really want to do that. Maybe MTX 6001. The subs are 750 RMS and those amps put out 600 RMS I believe. Any other suggestions on what type of amps to get if I were to get 3?
