Moe Sislack Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 k lets stop with the drama, just help me out. i should upgrade my amp obvs, saying as my sub is a 2000 watt sub which means i need to buy a bigger alt, 190's and start using 0 gauge. which amp do you suggest? why not just wire it to 1 ohm?? and if that amps isnt 1 ohm stable then you bought the wrong sub and should of thought ahead. x2, he might be screwed for now if its not 1ohm stable. had it wired before and 1 ohm without realizing it was one ohm stable, blew the sub but i had warranty so it wasn;t a problem. my plan is to get a batter amp, alt and another dual 2 fi btl and run them both at 2 ohms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do the Japanese feel about bass?You know that since 03/11/11 Progene? I just saw that stuff on CNN. They said it makes your junk shrink all up. lol.im pretty sure the op wont even notice if it gets even smaller.

Xs Power is what i recommend Should i be running more batteries? i have one yellow top, brand-new for 2k watts on stock electrical, you should. keep that yellow top under the hood and add a xs power d3100 in the back. once you upgrade your alternator, you should be good on the voltage with 2 batteries and 2k watts. and do the big 3(look it up cuz im too lazy to explain it. lol) How do the Japanese feel about bass?You know that since 03/11/11 Progene?
