CommonSyns Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Hello All, So I'm pretty new here to car audio being 3 years with my second system and I would like to upgrade to something better. This is what I currently have so far: Alpine MRP-1000 (Amp) Boston Acoustics Spg in the H.O custom box (Subwoofer) Kenwood Kiv-BT900 (Deck) S.S Super Sport 400.1 (Speaker Amp) HertZ Dieci (Front dash Tweeters) HertZ Dieci (Door 6x9's) Stock Infinity (Rear Door 6.5") So what I have so far is a 1000 watt subwoofer system with a however much the amp actually puts out system. I would like to upgrade both but I dont know what route to take for either. I would like to add another woofer and another 1000 watts so I have 1000 going to each sub making it a 2000 watt system. I've been reading that DC is a very good company for subwoofers and I am looking to have a budget of like $1500 to spend on subs and maybe 600 to spend on speakers. Now what would I need to power these subwoofers and speakers? So if someone could help me out that would be just great. I am also very interested In doing the hair trick however much you of an rms you need to accomplish that. The car I drive is a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo and has space for two 12's, two 15"s or one 18" subwoofer. I would like something that no one else has and everyone around where I live has either the following brands and including speakers. Alpine, JL Audio, Pioneer, Beyma, Kicker, Rockford Fosgate, Polkaudio, Hertz, Audison, Morell, Kenwood, Powerbass, JVC, ect. Something like Orian, FI Audio, Sundown Audio I really like or anything I know no one around here has or heard of.

Monergist Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 How's your electrical? If you want to upgrade to 2000 watts, you should do a big 3 wiring upgrade and look into a better battery; that is, if you're still using your stock battery. You don't necessarily have to get 2 amps and 2 subs for a 2000 watt system. You could do a single 2000 watt amp setup. but it's your choice. DC makes great equipment.

You don't necessarily have to get 2 amps and 2 subs for a 2000 watt system. You could do a single 2000 watt amp setup. but it's your choice. DC makes great equipment. I am in the process of doing the The Big Three upgrade but I have to save up to get the money to get the wire and the new battery terminals. Also what Battery do you suggest I get to put under the hood? As for the single 2000 watt amp I looked at my local audio shop awhile back at least 7 months ago they said I could go with the Alpine Mrp-2000 Watt amp here is the link MRP-M2000But when I went back more recently they had told me that I could go with a better amp an Arc Audio amp here is the link Arc Audio Amp What from DC would be good? well you just sell what you got and start fresh 1.AQ3500D.1 Amplifier $799.00 2.HDC315-A Aluminum Coil Subwoofer $330.00 1.AQ4X90 Amplifier $229.00 tot $1,689.00 I'm not good in pricing anything that I own or owned. Thats not a bad price but is there a cheaper way or am I going to spend 1500+? Or could I buy another of the same amp that I own and use it to power both subs? Alpine came out with this amp recently here is the link MRX-M100The amp puts out 1000 watts rms at 2 ohms now would that work for the HDC315-Aluminum Coil or am I going to have to buy that AQ3500D.1? Any amp that will do the job but at a lower price? Budget System ftw even though I said 1500-2000 budget I'm looking for the cheapest lol. Now how about speakers? Anyone want to give any suggestions for speakers?

Anyone want to give any suggestions for speakers? I use XS Power batteries, but there's also Kinetik, Optima, Deka, Stinger, Shuriken, etc. It's your choice, and it depends on what you can fit. DC has a good 2000 watt amp. I used to use Infinity for speakers, but now I use Audison/Hertz. Depends on what you're looking for.
