| What would be the best Fosgate amp or amps to run my 2 T2D212`s . I was thinking to use 2 T15001bd or 2 T10001bd to run them at 1 ohm .Am I on the right path or is there something better ? |

| I would run the NEW T2500-1BDCP. It's averaging about 2800 watts @ 2 ohms. Pretty nice amp for the $$$. |

| But... with the new 2500-1bdcp you will get full power at 1 or 2 ohms so you're way over 3000 watts. |

| How bout a t2k at 2 or 1 ohm, thats about 2000 watts a perfect match for a pair of t2's. If ur trying to got for a more complex look on the install more amps the better but if space and simplicity is an issue then the 2500 is best |

the sub are D2 that meens 4 0r 1 omh each so both make 2ohm or 0.5ohm did you work the amps you say at 0.5ohms so it will never use the max power of tis amps at 2 ohms but if the new 2500bdcp is giving 3000 at 2 ohms that will be great match also!

Yes, the new cp amps give full power at 1 ohm and full power at 2 ohms. That's 3000+ either way. Obviously will have to be careful with 2 T2s.
If for some reason you want 2 smaller amps, I would get 2 - T1000-1bd or -1bdcp. You would be at 1 ohm each anyway. |

| If u can get an amp that puts out the power at 2 ohms, id do it. Less strain on the electrical system that way. Spare some amps for a good multi-channel amp |

| 2ohm does less heat, less THD, and less strain on a charging system |

Dude your wall of text is hurting my eyes. You asked why people said 2ohms is better than 1 i told you some of the reasons and you go in a rant about money and such. Totally nothing to do with your question.
When people wire things improperly they get undesired results. The whole concept of the BCP amps is if someone has say two dual 2ohm subs and they want to get the most out of one of the new amps they will not have to go get dual 4ohm so they can get it to 1ohm. It is kind of like how the JL Audio amps have it where they do the advertised wattage no matter the load from 4ohms to i think 1.5ohm correct me if i am wrong. It is to give people more flexibility when it comes to wiring.
Regarding your other two amps you know the problem with mass production? Every once in a while a dud makes it out of the factory. Also sometimes amps act differently on different vehicles. Sometimes there is not a good explanation. |

| There is also a huge difference on your electrical system between running a 500 watt amp at full power and a 2500 watt amp at full power. |

| See Kryptonite gets it. Waste of time when my amp is just fine. I see people using 1 ohm left and right on this forum. I see no big deal that you are making. Those people that have bigger RF amps are using 1 ohm. So get off my back. Also, someone recommended when I had the prime amp that I get this amp and run it at 1 ohm. Don't give me crap when someone on this forum tells me otherwise. |

dustyshot, take a step back for a second, you have been given useful information and have responded with a negative attitude.
We are all here to learn from each other, this is a great forum to get help on your system and to better your understanding of car audio.
If you are truly passionate about car audio as most of us are here, you should take useful information for what it's worth.
Lesson:
An amp will often work harder @ 1 ohm vs 4 ohms. |

“Discussion is an exchange of knowledge; an argument an exchange of ignorance.” Robert Quillen
with that being said, remember like kryptonite said when you run a 500 watt amp at 1ohm it will not draw nearly the same amount of current as a 2500 watt amp at 1 ohm
i have also seen many people come and go in my few years of being on this forum. When you start "trolling" its just a matter of time before no one cares to listen to what you have to say. For the old people they will agree when i say this do not turn into a Sayar. If you do you will regret it. |

| This is a great forum and I have become friends with a few people that I have met on here. And like ocean said we can all learn something on here, no matter how long we have been into car audio. Everyone has their own opinions about certain things, it's ok to disagree with someone just don't let it get out of hand. Also it can be difficult sometimes to explain a problem to someone or troubleshoot a problem from what is written on here but there are a lot of good people who are willing to help, it might take time but it's better to spend time fixing a problem than going out and replacing gear over and over. |
