Lvl 4 XL to 5.0k wiring/power question..


Recommended Posts

all in the box and electrical you better have 600 amps on tap to feed it.. i estmate 3k to 3800 is what you should get.. and the lvl4 is not a xl.. it goes 3, 4,xl,5,6,neo and thats the old line the new line is m2 but same order

I have the electrical covered but I appreciate the looking out! and I say Lvl. 4 XL because they are the Level 4's with the XL spider and coil upgrade :good:

no, they are not...

the motor is bigger on the XL, go look at the weight, its like 32 lbs on the level 4 where as teh XL is like 52... cant tell me soft parts = 20 lbs

i think hes trying to say his level 4's have an upgraded soft parts. not that its an xl.. could be wrong though

then its just level 4s with level 5 upgrade, but that still doesnt make it anywhere near what a XL can handle.

and if thats what he meant.. i wouldnt put a 5k to 2 level 4s, even with the level 5 softparts... thats just me.. i would do a 3500 and call it a day, because if you get any real power out of that 5k, bye bye subs

level 4 upgraded spiders and coils is what he means...

and I agree..asking this question...I cant take your word for it that you "have electrical taken care of"

even then.. i think hell fry up the amp first. i doubt he knows what kind of electrical he needs for this..

OP to straighten all this out.. what kind of electrical are you planning on running.

and i wouldnt throw 2k per sub.

I see fails in the near future

same here...

you have electrical covered for sure?

not being a dick but i feel like by asking that question your not going to know what kind of electrical to have for a 5k...

I don't take it as a dick comment at all man, even though I dont see myself as an audio nub i still am fully aware that i have a lot to learn. I'm going to be running it off of a 300a alt under the hood and 2 12v Kinetik KHC2000's that are rated at 102ah. If you have other suggestions please go right ahead.

I would say that would match up to the 3.5k decently, and the 3.5k isnt really enough to fuck up 2 level 4s, well it is.. but it isnt nowhere near as bad as what could happen with the 5k..

if you are serious about the 5k, i would switch subs and or get 2 more level 4s..

I appreciate all input. I posted what electrical i will be running for the amp. and i was going with the 5.0k because ive seen one level 4 handle 3.5k. But i accept all sugestions and critiques!

was it a clamped 3.5k

anyone can run a 3.5k amp on a single level 4.. and yeah youll need probably a couple more batteries to hold your voltage down pat.

also i agree that you should get more motor before you attempt to put that much power out.

I will also have another Kinetik under the hood but it won't be specifically designated for the 5.0k if you think that will help with my volatge. So you think 2 XL's would do well if i wanted to stick with the 5.0k?

im not trying to bash,

but you say youre not a nub, but you just asked if the dc 5k does 5k to each sub....

I appreciate all input. I posted what electrical i will be running for the amp. and i was going with the 5.0k because ive seen one level 4 handle 3.5k. But i accept all sugestions and critiques!

and remember, just because one man does it, doesnt mean you can...
