Omega5002 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 You should build your own box to get the best results. Battery definitely, they help alot more than a capacitor when needing extra power, or having to deal with voltage drops. Big 3 is recommended as well if you haven't done it. You're gonna have to either wire that sub to 2 or .5 ohms, and I don't know if the MB Quart can handle .5 ohms.

AB18VFL Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 as long as you arent wiring at .5ohms, i personally wouldnt bother adding a batt. pretty much any stock electrical can handle that amp. an extra batt def wouldnt hurt any though! and to me, big 3 is a must in ANY vehical, whether it has a system or not. thats just me though.

Garrett Wane Robson Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 so what do you say i do then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZTYBRN Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 His post wasn't helpful?? God knows how you would have wired it if no one said anything... If you just ordered that sub 2 hours ago, contact Fi and see if you can change your order to dual 2 ohm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe X Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) The ONX1.1000D will deliver 750W (they say) at 2 ohm and it won't be a night and day difference in output BUT you can call them and get the dual 2 ohm, that will be better. Usually Kicker boxes are tuned high and likely won't be optimal or that sub, build your own, post some dims and me or others can get you a cut sheet.

Omega5002 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 The amp is gonna be more efficient at 2 ohms then 1 ohms, which is very normal for amps, so electrical shouldn't be too bad but Big 3 is a big definitely, and 750 watts should be fine for the SSD, you're not gonna horribly under power it.
