  4. FS: Fosgate P400-4 & AQ1200 amps

    in For Sale: Car audio related equipment only

    Posted · Edited by St.Ides

    I'll make this fast and easy, i need to pay medical bills. so i need these two amps gone asap.

    prices are obo, but i think they are pretty damn cheap, so no low ballers.

    Fosgate= $100+ plus shipping

    AQ= $200 + shipping

    The AQ has its original box/paper work and bass knob. the fosgate does not have the original box, but you can see me opening it up when i got it brand new if you check out my build log.

    if you buy both price is $275 + shipping.

  18. Can someone explain why some setups have massive amounts of batteries?

    Bare with me, I'm pretty new to car audio and electrical wiring and concepts. A very simple answer will do.

    So the other day I meet this guy and he was showing how many batteries he had to for his system. No joke, this guy had like 6 120 plus AH HUGE UPS truck style batteries each weighing he said "140lbs each! I then ask him what was the reason for all the batteries. Before I knew it I block him out because he went into 45 minute, defcon-5 explanations on why and how he needed them. Non of it made any since. He said he was running dual alts. one stock at 110amp and another at 200amp.(took his word on it because he was a bit of a talker!) I've seen my fair share of well built system and horrible ones, but never have I heard of anyone that has 6 extra batteries, and even if they did have six 140 plus pound batteries.... from my understand, if this person would have added let say two extra 250 plus amp alternators instead of 6 big foot monster truck batteries, he would have been able to produce the same amount of results with less weight added to his car?? To me adding close to 1000 pounds of extra weight seem stupid, but, if it does the job efficiently, f**k Me for questioning his set up.Is this my ignorance speaking for lack of knowledge in electrical car audio concepts, or is this guy WAY OVER DOING IT WITH THE BATTERIES? LMFAO, I thought I was cool with my extra battery in the trunk... I guess I should take that shit to the next level and hit up a friend that works on 747 southwest jets and see if planes use batteries and if so, get a few of those bastards in my trunk... be like "yeah I'm running southwest airline batteries in my shit, no big deal!

    sounds like the guy you were talking to knew what he was going.

    he was lacing your boots and you tuned him out?

    PS it you think 6 batts is allot,take a look at some of the member builds on the forum ;)

    Why sell it? You have money, just park it and buy something else..

    At a local car dealer there is a 07 with 40k miles for $35k (ALL of their vehicles are over priced, so this is probably actually more like $30k)

    There is an 03 on ebay with 67k miles with a buy it now price of $15,900

    101,000 Miles on a 2003 model vehicle is A LOT of miles. no where near $30,000

    to the OP, click this link. that should give you a rough idea
