SQPunk Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) Ok, guys, small change. I would like to add one more McIntosh 300 watt amp for a total of 1000watts hooked up to a 15" JL Audio 13w6v2 sub. Does this alter anything power wise? I will be doing the "Big three" of course and am planning on running one of the 3100 batts up front as well as one in the back by the amps. Zero gauge power and ground wires run to batts and amps. Thanks again, P.S. Tentative starting place for xover is the following: 15" sub -- 40hz and below 10" subs -- 40hz to 150hz 6.5" midbase -- 150hz - 750hz 4" mid -- 750hz to 10khz tweets -- 10khz and up.

Mikesmith0890 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 should be plenty of juice for 1000 watts Quote AlphaDamp Sound Deadening CDL Mat - The best Vibration Damper Ever!

Team_DC-Derrick Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 wait so you want to run 1 700w amp to the sub, and a 300w amp to the sub? if i read that right, dont do that.... seriously... and you should be fine with that setup with the alt and batt you have Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

SQPunk Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Team DC Derrick - No, you are not reading it correctly. I plan on one 300w mono block amp to each of three subs = 3 amplifiers and one 100w stereo amp to the front end. So, as you can see, four amplifiers totaling 1kw.

Team_DC-Derrick Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 oh yeah then you are fine with your power...

ricky9191 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 if i read correctly did u say 15" JL 13w6v2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQPunk Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) My bad. It appears that the 13w6v2 is a 12" sub. I am going to have to look around more. Sorry for the error. Edit: The W0v2 15" sub looks promising. It will handle the power of the McIntosh amp nicely. I will have to go give these and others a listen before I make my final decision.

mrd6 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Ok, guys, small change. I would like to add one more McIntosh 300 watt amp for a total of 1000watts hooked up to a 15" JL Audio 13w6v2 sub.

Don't mean to thread jack but this caught my eye. What mid do you plan to run that will play up to 10khz without breakup? Ive been looking into 4 in mids for my rebuild and for sq (which i assume you are going for since ur using McIntosh amps) i have found that very few mids sound that good/should be crossed above 5k. Im just curious what you have in mind! To the original quesion tho, you will be fine with that small power. Depending how you listen to your system, i would say you could probably get away without the extra battery in the trunk. Just the stock alt, big three, and single 3100 up front Quote My Build Log: http://www.stevemead...-sundown-power/ Team NorthWestSPL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirill007 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 15" sub -- 40hz and below 10" subs -- 40hz to 150hz 6.5" midbase -- 150hz - 750hz 4" mid -- 750hz to 10khz tweets -- 10khz and up. So you use a 15 and 2 10 inch subs? :s And you want SQ? I hope you can really make it blend in perfectly. Just like mrd6 said, where can you find a mid that will do that kind of big range of frequencies? Quote Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for.
