I love the amp rack drawer. thats some pimp shizznit right there!

Thank You for your input! Think i will go for a couple different amps as i dont neccessarily want to go out and spend another few $$$g just for 6volt batteries and regulators and stuff. Thank You Sir!

doesnt say it has to be powered by 18v just says it can handle up to 18 volts. but like most have said i realizse the power will be greater at an 18v input. I did read somewhere on the cadence website that there testing was done at a 14.4v. but i do appreciate the help guys. still looking into amps to get for my set up. even with a this amp it would still put out what id need to 4 w7's at a lower voltage than 18v

its all tested at 14.4 volts peak 14k, rms 7k @ 1ohm. Want to run at .75 but obviously wish voltage drops the rise will probably be nearly 1-1.5.

Does anyone else have any input?

Looking for someone that knows and has used Cadence amplifiers before. Looking at the Cadence ZRS C7 7000d amp. Would like to know if it would be stable enough at .75ohm. Thank you for your help Jordan

currently running 2 220 amp alts, 4 runs of power front to back, of course 0 guauge to alts, the only issue is my batteries, i have 5 yellow top group 34 batts. that my be the only thing that will pull me down alittle. I have learn a few things about these subs. They dont like sealed boxes and they can take WAY more power then they say. Had a friend that put 2500 to one sub. It is all down to the box design, luckily i have a friend that is a great box designer. these will be put into a power cube wall design with about 11 cubes after displacment with a port tuning of 32hz as im going for more of a daily system instead of spl. just want the capability to get loud. Thank you all for your help i do appreciate your inputs!

Really? Even thou theres no ratings for anything below 1 ohm? Just worries me sometimes not knowing if it will actually go that low concidering you put out that much money youd expect to get every rating possible you know... Thank You Depends on the amplifier, yes that aq3500.1 can play below 1 ohm if you have the electrical to back it up (wich you said you have) , that amplifier should MURDER awesome! Thank You!

stetsom has amps that will get me very close to that but dont feel like paying $2k for them

i def have the electrical to back it up but thats only 875 a sub, currently i have about 950ish per sub. Thank you

Im in need of some help with finding the best amplifers for my subs. First off i have 4 12" JL W7's. they will take 2k power easy but looking for something in the ball park of around 1.5-1.6k power to each sub. My predicament comes in the form of that these subs are only a single 3 ohm vc. These are my option, along with some questions. First, I try and find 1-2 amps that will power all them at .5-.75 ohm. What amps will do that and be efficient? Second, do i go with 4 2 channel brigable amps? The only issue i see here is that most amps are 4ohm brigded. Whats the likly hood of the amps failing with a 3 ohm load? Thank You for your time and help!! Jordan

the umbrella holders are nice lol

13w7 is 2.375cuft ported for 30hz 12w7 is 1.75cuft ported for 32hz 10w7 is 1.5cuft ported for 32hz 8w7 is 1.0cuft ported for 32hz i have 4 12w7's they play good in an 8cuft box tuned to around 30hz. I had 2 before that and it sounded amazing in just under a 4cuft sealed box. So, id suggest getting your box very close to these specs and it will sound pretty damn good. Good luck

1.7 ported is roughly what you need for 12-13.5" w7

will be doing a power upgrade soon. 2 runs of 0g from alt to battery and then 2 runs from front battery to rear batteries. Going to try and find some copper rods and put them into the power and ground input to be able to run multiple runs of power and grounds to amp for abit more efficiency. New amps on the way as well.

if your volt meter is hooked to the amp then your getting direct power off the amp. If you want direct current from alternator you need to get a regular volt guage and wire it to your ignition wire and that will give you firect voltage from the alternator. with that stinger volt guage it hooks to the amp so whenever your amp is on it draws power. everything you let off the gas pedal voltage will drop. when your sitting at a light and there is a load on the alternator your voltage will drop. like one other person said your possibly dropping below the level were the alt is actually charging and that is why you are getting voltage drops. check all your charging system wires and make sure they are in good condition. try sitting in your driveway with a voltmeter and turn everything one on the car and check and see if the alternator is actually charging the battery. if you dont see the voltage drop and come back quickly. if it comes back slowly it could be that the diodes are abit worn out.

If you can fit a 7.5cuft box in there that would suit you very nicely. These subs are power hungry. Got a friend that has 2 fully loaded and hes running 4.5krms to 2 of them and hes well over 50+ db. His how ever is walled but after port displacement and sub displacement hes at around 7.5. if you cant do 7.5 then build it to as big as your trunk will allow. Would def make it ported! You can get this very loud. Try for a bigger amp then youd be set! I myself am looking at 4 fully loaded btl n2's in either a clamshell or a tunnel. Good Luck hope this helps alittle

Richard VXincar was the first in UK to do a 150 in boot with what was it 2 orion hcca's if i remember correctly. might have been 4.

I know a guy that has dropped a 33hz tone at 148 with 1 18 on roughly 2k of power. was in a bmw estate car. Very similar to a passat. 48 are not that hard but it does come down to the acoustics of the car. Got any sound deadner in the car? try to eliminate as many rattles as possible. Do a sub up and port firing back. Upgrade wiring if you havent done yet. theres alot of minor stuff you can do to get a 48 with 3.3krms. it will be tedious but worth it in the end. Good luck!!

i got there and throu the line pretty quick. you was demoing your car a bit. I dont know that i will make it mate. I am under going a power upgrade. More runs of power and ground and 2 bigger amps. if i get it all done before then then i will.

I came down from Suffolk County. I was the one with the 4 JLW7's in the American car.

Thoguht that was you mate! F'ing loud it was! Good job mate!

hey mate was you at the PB event at Arena Essex on the 1st of Oct? If not, nice build anyhow.

haha hey man!! good to see another taurus lover on here.
