T.A.G. Audio Posted November 14, 2012 Report Posted November 14, 2012 So right now I have a single alpine type r 12 and a alpine pdx m6. The birthsheet says 672 watts rms. I have a 6guage wiring kit. This weekend I am picking up a sundown sa12 and a sae 1200d. Will I be ok running 6 guage for just the one sub because it is a dual 4 ohm sub. So it will be wired at 2 ohm and only putting 600 watts to the sa12. But I will for sure change to 4 guage eventually. And my plan is to get another sa12, dual 4 and wiring them in parallel to 1 ohm and run 1200 to both of them at 600 a piece. When I go to running both subs I will definitely have 4 guage wire. But will I need to run an extra battery to accept the power? If needed I would either get a kinetic audio battery and connect it to the front battery or get a yellow top optima. But if I won't need to do anything other than 4 guage I will just do that. O and by the way thus is in an 03 f150 king ranch if it makes a difference with alternator power and what not. 03 Ford f150 2 Sa8 v2s Ap 1800d...

zydrix Posted November 14, 2012 Report Posted November 14, 2012 i wouldnt run the 6 gauge wire. but personally i wont run anything under 4 gauge period to my amps. 4 gauge i think would be a lot better for that amp an its pretty cheap so you might want to pick up some 4 gauge when you purchase the amp. an since you have a truck i imagine your alt is at least a 120 or bigger. so if you picked up a yellow top or went an ordered a xs battery you should be fine.

T.A.G. Audio Posted November 14, 2012 Author Report Posted November 14, 2012 So get some 4 guage.

zydrix Posted November 14, 2012 Report Posted November 14, 2012 So get some 4 guage. Will do and will I be fine on stock electrical for the one 12 for now? if you use 4 gague wire, do the big 3 on your truck with 0 gauge wire. an have a yellowtop or xs power battery you will be fine. you dont really need a HO alt or a few batts until you get into some 2000 watt an up amps an have a small stock alt.

ric006 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Posted November 14, 2012 no just as he said plain NO just run 1/0 and you can break it back up to 4 guage
8ight Posted November 14, 2012 Report Posted November 14, 2012 You can run about 100w RMS per 10a of alternator on most stock electrical systems in my experience. You should be fine. I'm gonna hate
