jmike9606 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I am getting ready to build a daily driver/competition system on a pretty tight budget. I'm thinking of going with a Rockford fosgate T1500 bdcp , 1 DC audio L4 dvc 15 , Stinger 5 farad cap. I have not done any electrical upgrades yet. What do you guys think of this setup is it worthy or should I do something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you guys think of this setup is it worthy or should I do something different. I would do something different with the amp and instead of a cap I would rather have a battery. you can get a crescendo bc2000D for 340 shipped that is a couple hundred cheaper than the Rockford. That would allow you to do a battery instead of a cap or savings towards a H/O alt. Quote Clip city bitch, clip clip city bitch. 10's, 12's, 15's, goin up in flames bitch.

alaskanzx5 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 ive got the rockford t1500.1bdcp and it is a nice amp. rated rms at 1 ohm is 1890watts, a beast of an amp. for electrical i have only added an intersate deepcycle battery i got new for $80 and then a rockford 10 farad digital cap i got for $200-250 headlights will dim when all the way up but not bad. i have seen my volts drop down to 12.3 though. that amp will suck power from the car, atleast a single yellow top should be added to that list. wont help much for long periods of loud heavy bass but should work out ok for short periods of metering.

Kranny Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I would stay away from optima like the plauge. why? cause they like to prematurely/randomly fail, most of the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would allow you to do a battery instead of a cap or savings towards a H/O alt. i would take his advice, save money by using Crescendo, AQ, Ap, or anything not RF. i know their amps are amazing but for the price of the amp only being 1500-2000 rms, which you probably wont see after rise, you can get a higher rated amp, especially Crescendo, that ll more and then some. also, look in the for-sale section for some good deals!

fmedina Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) get rid of the cap and get a second battery. look into xs, shuriken, or kinetic to name a few. and like the guys are saying i would look into a different amp. you are able to get more for your money than with rf. they are excellent products but dont really favor for people on a low budget. look at the brz line of hifonics or aq, cresendo, etc. Edited December 23, 2011 by fmedina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaskanzx5 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 yeah rf is a lil spendy but even just a t500.1bd is a great amp. ive done a 141.1 with 2 t1 10s. you can get one used for 150-175. ive even seen there 1500.1bdcp go for 300 used. also i know a lot of people with yellow tops and a few with red tops. some of them have had there batteries for a good 5 years and there still kicking strong. yeah there is better but it was just a general suggestion. honestly in the end there is no such thing as a budget comp build, if you wanna have the quality and long life span for your equipment you have to fork out the money.
