How about speakers for my mids and highs? Also what would I have to do to do the hair trick that really interests me.

Hey guys I'm new here and I'm kinda new to systems as well and I have some questions to ask the masters. I am looking to upgrade my system to a 3000 to 4000 watt system from my 1000 system. Now I went to my local audio shop a real long time ago so I don't know if this information I'm about to give you is up to date in terms of systems. The system they could only get for me that was 4000 watts was 2 12.2 Orian HCCA's with 2 Alpine 2000 watt amps, with a capacitor of course. Now how good is that system in this day and age? I'm not looking for the newest system with the newest subs on the market but I defiantly want the loudest around here where I live. We get some small friendly sound competitions around here and I mean small. Basically I want something that no one else has and everyone around where I live has either the following brands and including speakers. Alpine, JL Audio, Pioneer, Beyma, Kicker, Rockford Fosgate, Polkaudio, Hertz, Audison, Morell, Kenwood, Powerbass, JVC, ect. Something like Orian, FI Audio, Sundown Audio I really like or anything I know no one around here has or heard of.

With that particular set-up using the Alpine amps you would want the 12.4 HCCA's so you could wire each amp to 2 ohms, also with that a capacitor would do nothing, for 4000rms I would do a mid to high 200's alternator(from Mechman or DC Power) and 2-3 D3100's in the trunk

The alpine 2000 I thought is a 2000 rms at 2 ohm or would I have to wire something in the sub to make a 4 ohm sub into a 2 ohm sub? Also why would a capacitor do nothing my friend and my local audio shop seems to think that a capacitor would make a difference. I've heard of green machine alternators are they any good? What is D3100 is it an amp? How much does it put out or is it a battery? I currently have 132 stock alternator.

in order to run 3-4k, you're going to need the big three, an alt, and a couple agm deep cycle batteries. as far as subs go, look into dc sound lab, digital designs, and t3, just to name a few. there are tons of different companies that make amps that do 3-4k rms; digital designs, audioque, sundown, dc sound lab, stetsom (maybe), and soundigital. however, those are also just a few companies. welcome to the forum by the way. just hang out and research, its amazing how much you can learn from the SMD community.

Thank you for the welcoming to the forum please suggest a good sub for me if possible.

Orion HCCAs will not dissapoint, my buddy has one 10" HCCA and its louder than a lot of 2 12" setups!

Is HCCA all that great? When I was looking into getting them awhile back I noticed that somewhere I read that one 10" Orion HCCA sounded like one 12" and so fourth ect. But I also read that if I go with them I should be prepared to lose sound quality.

If you want to match 2 sundown z15s on a sundown 3500 or 2 dc xls on a dc 3.5k.

Big alt, big battery under the hood and 1 or 2 in the rear

Z Series v.2 15" Subwoofer <-- Is this the subwoofer your talking about? Z Series v.2 15" Subwoofer

How big of an alt are we talking and what kind of battery? My friend swears by Optima Yellow tops. But he uses that for off roading.

a capacitor will totally handle that power alone

What do you mean it can handle that power alone? Please elaborate.

I already have a system and this is what I currently have.

Alpine 1000 watt amp

Boston Acoustics SPG in its factory recommended High Output Ported Enclosure

SS Super Sport 400.1

Deck- Kenwood KIV BT900

Dash- Hertz Deci Tweeters

Front doors- Hertz Deci 6x9 Coaxle

Rear doors- Stock 6 1/2

Zero gauge wire from the battery to the distributor which branches off to 2 4 gauge wires.

Strangely enough I do not have a capacitor nor have I done the Big Three.

I'm looking for 2 subs within the rms of 1800 watts or 2000 watts apiece or something close in that range. I think awhile back when I was looking for the new subs I saw only 3 which fit that description. Sundown Audio Nightshade, Orion HCCA, and FI Audio subwoofers. And I'm not sure about Ampfliers or Capacitors and I am good with my current deck because it was only bought a year ago so no need to replace that. I am also looking to upgrade my speakers also for the mids and highs however im not exactly willing to mod my car to fit any extra tweeters. The car I drive is a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo and has space for two 12's, two 15"s or one 18" subwoofer. I don't exactly have a budget just yet but im guessing its in going to be in the 2000-3000 range but I would love to keep it as low as possible if possible not to exceed 1500 as saving up would be way to long with the current job I have. Also as said I care about how loud my car is but I would also like to at least to have some sound quality to my system. If there is a sub that can do SPL and SQ then that would be the subwoofer for me I am also VERY interested in doing the famous Hair Trick if I could do that I would be done with my car audio dream and I can focus on building my jeep up but because I love Sound it comes first.
