  1. if you get an amp... that alternator is only puttin out 85-95 amps MAX...... at least half of that is used to run the car..... voltage drop happens really easy on our subarus.... im running a sony xplod 1000w amp that doesnt put out much in the way of rms wattage and i had voltage drop down to close to 10 volts. just something to think about.....

    i ended up with 3 batteries all together with 4 gauge for the amps and the big 3 as well as all the grounds in the engine compartment sanded down to bare metal and re-attached because subaru likes to paint the car before attaching the grounds so all are very poor grounds. i can easily run a higher wattage amp now as i have no voltage drop what so ever. also if its a wagon you will hate the roof rattle.....its horrible. these cars can get loud on not alot of power also ( well the wagons can)

    Thank you very much

  2. lol at suggesting running 1500w through 600w worth of subs.

    get a smaller amp, obviously. you of all people should know not to run that much power to small subs. especially to someone who doesn't know that much.

    Wow Kranny, your answer to a 29 post noob, :bad: me. There more post´s of you in this style, in the last times.

    That is like the big 12 K post Kranny, tell the :noob: "I know alot, but have only time to spit about the other posts and :nothingtoadd: ,

    till another SMD member give you the right guess and maby i give a blessing on this if i want.

    Thats superficial, unperceptive and a little arrogant. Have this to be in this form from you?

    I try to do it better and give a 2nd guess.

    To the Op, on your side i would take a 15 from the IVX D 4 subs and run him on http://www.ebay.com/...499%2520W&rt=nc a Alpine MRP 450.

    There is one for 65 $ and if you want + 11 for warranty and another in auction.

    I guess you the 15 in case of the more conearea = louder. Build a proper box and your brother will have a nice substage for near 200 buck´s.

    Thank you for the information, that would be more along the lines my brother is looking for.

  3. do you have the electrical to back up the 1500watts though? i like dude up aboves suggestion, but make sure you have sufficient electrical, or you'll blow shit up...

    I am fairly new to car audio, it will be in a completely stock 2003 Subaru forester with a new battery. I know how to install amps, but the gauge of wire can be determined when the right amp is found, but can i get an estimate on the other stuff i am neglecting to think about?

    I probibly will go with the SKAR "IVX-10 D2/D4" as it is $90 a sub, but i am willing to go for a different one if it is better than this one (if they exist.)

  4. I am looking to do an extreme budget build for my brothers car. He already has good mids/highs from a previous project, but he wants more base. I know this is a forum for great pricy not that much of a budget projects, but i am not going to drop a load for a ride that wont even be used much. The current budget is $200 (not including the wood, screws, glue and other tools) for an amp and sub(s). Also i want to steer clear of sony xplod (terrible in most every way). Has anyone had any experience with Pyle? I have a 10 from them and that will be good enough for my brother, but anything better for the money?

    Many thank yous for any help.
