For SPL use mainly, what would you choose for 2 12" DVC 4ohm subs (4ohm or 1ohm) US Amps US2000X or Zapco C2K-9.0XD and why?

 

Voltage and spl class/body would play a big part in this.
With a higher voltage and the upgraded electrical system to power it, the 2000x would be my choice.
Pure power advantage.

In a DBdrag Street class, I'd take the 9.0. Regulated power supply and an extremely efficient amplifier design.

They're both sexy in their own class.

 

What kinda amperage draw am I looking at for the 9.0?

I plan on upgrading the Alternator anyways, I just need to know how big to go

Can the 2000x burp at 1ohm? If so what kinda power can I expect if I feed it all the current it needs?

Rated fusing for the 2000x is 300a and ~240a for the 9.0.
Of course, bursts will be in excess of that.

I believe the 2000x will not burp at 1ohm mono. It will go into protection. Two ohm yes.
I think you can mod it to run at 1ohm bridged but I don't have that info.

what kind of an electrical system do you have?

 

The Zapco is extremely efficient and will do burps in excess of 3600 watts [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img] ...I would take the Zapco hands down for spl use [img]graemlins/deal4u.gif[/img] ..Even if its 16 volts the US Amps like to pop it seems after 15 volts or maybe thats only the 6000's [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

 

are you talking about a modded 9.0? because I hear the power supply is highly regulated at 2100rms at 4ohm and 2108 at 2ohm, how do I get 3600?

I plan on getting a 260amp alternator and 4 exide batteries

 

The Zapco is a sweet performer, I am usually a shill for US Amps but in that comparison the Zapco is a sweet performer AND a SQ amp, AND a full frequency range amp.

You will be happy with either

 

LOL! Right you are Ken.
