budget is 600ish for te subs. not sure the amp. hopefully getting a HO alt. jeep has a stock 136amp alt so prob a 270. and a D6500 under the hood, and 2 D3100 in the rear. and a bit of 1/0

mids and highs are not very pretty at all haha well just say that. . . and i could do that, i just wanted to be able to move as much air as possible. so i was just thoinking cone area

and only plannin on about 2.5k

why so much electrical for only 2500 watts? Thats damn near what Im going to be running with 6000watts and I spent around 2k

Used to have a loud truck

2009 Corvette Z06, H/C/I, 150 shot, g force tune, 730rwhp/690rwtq

2013 F-150 limited, MPT Tune, leveled on 35"s

a) i do alot of playing with the car sitting, so having the reserve will be nice B) my electrical is currently stock and voltage is gone to shit with only like 600 watts lol c) for future upgrades and if i switch cars or anything, i'll always have it. . . what do you think the minimun i could run would be?

I can garentee your voltage is shit because you haven't done the Big 3. I have a 600 watt mono block and a 300 watt 4 channel, and I never even go below 12v, and I have a 60A alt and a battery smaller than a D975.

alts that are like 70 amps output like 35 at idle.

adding more batteries will just put a bigger strain on your alt. discharged batteries will take more amperage to charge, leaving less reserve (or none depending on how big it is). you'd just be fucking up your alt more

You could get (4) Dayton Audio RSS390HF-4 15" Reference HF Subwoofers for $660 shipped.

With 2000 watts and the correct enclosure design, low frequency should not be an issue.

Current system:

1997 Blazer - (4) Customer Fi NEO subs with (8) American Bass Elite 2800.1s

Previous systems:

2000 Suburban - (4) BTL 15's and (4) IA 40.1's = 157.7 dB at 37 Hz.

1992 Astro Van - (6) BTL 15's and (6) IA 40.1's = 159.7 dB at 43 Hz.

Don't ever buy a sub for low end until you model it in WINISD. Subs can be so different that one could be +6dB @ 30 Hz over a bigger sub that's seeing double the power. Obsidian Audio 15 in 3.75 @ 32 and 18 in 6 @ 32 in red after standard cabin gain. 20 Hz & 30 Hz peaks. 2.5" voice coil 600W RMS for $189. Too bad they don't ship to Canada, would there be any way around that?

Winsid is pretty much useless in car audio. That graph is going to chance significantly based on the car, box sizes, port locations, sub locations. Trunk hatch, open cab, everything will change that.

And kranny lol ya, like I said he must not have done Big3, I don't have sever voltage issues and I am a few hundred watts short of 1k watts and that's what I am running as far as electrical goes.
