Can someone that knows alot about bass help

[BikerPaintballdude]

O.K. here it is I dont have a car yet but i will be getting one very soon and im almost positive im getting a 2002 Avalanch. Im planning on getting a box that replaces the mid gate in the avalanch. Here is what it looks like and it shows where it will be placed it is also an enclosed box http://caraudiofactory.com/20012007-...oly-p-248.html and im going to put 3 12" Diamond Audio CM3's in it. I've been reading up on the CM3's and what ive read so far is pretty good but i wanted someones opinion on it that know what they are talking about. I havent officialy decided what AMP I want because I dont know what the best amp would be to get the job done. I was told I need a AMP that has 1000-1500 RMS at one OHM. The subs have a peak power of 1000 and RMS of 500. I would prefer a Reliable 1500 RMS AMP(and by reliable I mean I want a AMP that wont shut off every minute and wont toast the subs)
So my question is what is the best AMP for the job??
THANKS

first off, you don't have to get your 1000-1500@1ohm, as a matter of fact, I would prefer to have my 1000-1500@4ohms or higher

wow u guys realy are as helpfull as they said THANKS, ok I looked around and I think I like this one http://www.maxxsonics.com/hifonics/amps_XXV.html But Im not sure, soo does anyone have a personal favorite that would have a balance between Power and Efficiency?? and would work for me. Thnx for everything guys!

[PaulD]

first thing is, how much do you want to spend ?

[NAVY IC]

those subs are dual 2 ohm subs
your load is going to be either 12 ohms or 1.333 ohms if you're only using one amp
if that's the case (one amp for all 3 subs), this is the one out of all the Hifonics that's the closest match:

BXi 1606D

it's also here, but they didn't have a price on this page

WOW! I've been looking for an AMP that would work for probably 2 and a 1\2 weeks and found nothing, ya'll are great:]. O.K. so if this AMP realy will work and get the job done is it going to use up my battery like crazy? and if so what can i do about that?. And I've read about guys having problems with there speakers shuting off every 3 minutes because its either working the AMP or the speakers too hard am i going to have a problem with this or is the power spread out through the speakers pretty evenly and around the RMS level?(sorry bout asking tons of questions at a time but im pumped :] cuz ive wanted this for so long and soo bad and im finaly making progress)but all i want is a AMP that will power the speakers, make them blast me apart but not tear the speakers apart, and not toast the AMP. I know its not that easy but i think that the brutus AMP you showed me will work but I need to know for-sure. Well thanks for everything(expecialy to NAVY IC) because ya'll are preventing me from making a mistake that I will regret(as in getting expensive crud that dosent work). THANKS!:]

(Forgot to add this) umm probably in the 300 dollar range. I can be flexable with that budget because the first setup i wanted was a lot more so total (box+speakers+AMP=around 1000.

[NAVY IC]

with the dual 2ohm version of the CM3's that amp is what you want, you're not going to have any problems with the - [BXi 1606D]...

but, if you buy the dual 4ohm version of the CM3's, then you would probably want to go with the next amplifier model up which is the - [BXi 2006D]...

it cost a lil more, but not much, (about $60), check it out...

Oh O.K. soo am I still going to wire them parallel? and whats ur oppinion about the setup im doing (three 12" CM3's) i havent realy been around very many audio setups so i dont realy know what kinda power im looking at so what im asking is - is this going to be a wind shield cracking, make my ears bleed, and get the cops called on me cuz its so loud. or am i overating it? or will i be a proud owner of a beast? >:]

[NAVY IC]

you're actually going to have a series-parallel configuration...
what you have to do is individually wire the coils on each of your subs in series,
and then connect each of the subs together in parallel, these diagrams should help...
