jsawdy212 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Did you read Dustins response? If the box was too big for 3500wrms, why would you add 8000wrms? The bigger the box, the less power the sub will take. he said 4 3500's Quote 2007 caliber 2 Fi ssd 18's rd audio 3250 xs power d3100 (need 2 more) stock alt (soon to be singer 350a) 2.75:1 4th order in progress!

Lou DIzzzzle Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 I could always make the box a little smaller. Dont want to lose all of my trunk but the box builder guy would know what to do and how big to make it based on the input I would give him of how much power I was going to run to them. Im going to start with 1 3500 and 2 of the 10s until I can afford the rest. I just wanted to have a so called end game system in mind. Buying my batteries and wire and an alternator soon so I want to know what the final product will be so I can do the alt and battery and wire upgrades accordingly.

Lou DIzzzzle Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 I was thinking 1 3500 per sub originally but those amps just 3500 watts. The old Crescendo Audio 3Kp was over 4000 watts RMS at 14.4 at .5 ohm. Since the BC 3500 is 500 more watts Im guessing the new amp will be around 4500 watts RMS at 14.4 at .5 ohm. That would be around 9000 watts per pair strapped up. If the box was perfect that would still be too much?

jsawdy212 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 no he'd be on less power 4* 3500= 14000, 2* 5500= 11000 Quote 2007 caliber 2 Fi ssd 18's rd audio 3250 xs power d3100 (need 2 more) stock alt (soon to be singer 350a) 2.75:1 4th order in progress!

hdorre Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) You do realize that you probably aren't going to see remotely close to rms, so the 500watt difference in power rating won't make a difference in a daily driver, right? That doesn't mean you can just throw an enormous amp on it though. For now, I think you should run the 2 5500Ds Edited May 3, 2011 by hdorre Quote On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I misread the post. I thought it said 4 5500Ds.

Lou DIzzzzle Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Yeah I love big systems but 4 5500's is a little bit extreme HAHA! Im almost positive I can only fit 1 alternator in that car so thats a factor also. I was curious by what ya meant that I wouldn't see close to RMS? Howcome?

hdorre Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Voltage drop, impedance rise, wire resistance, etc. This is in a daily driver, so I probably should have even mentioned it.

Lou DIzzzzle Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Hopin to have not much voltage drop with 5 HC2400s and a 350 amp alternator. Might do 5 HC2400's because my mids and highs amp is 1000 watts and I might end up doing 2 of those eventually.
