How much power is to much?

Recommended Posts

I'm getting my subwoofers 2 of 3 of my mmats pro cast series subwoofers rebuilt and the company said my subs are 700 watts rms and will be 1000 watts rms after the rebuild. I thought about getting the hifonics 2100.1d which will be under 1000 watts rms after box rise. Will overpowering the subs by 200 watts rms be safe? Most importantly can my stock alt run the 2400? I am getting a optima yellow top for the trunk.

Any advise?

If you go that route only use the rebuilt woofers or as stated before get them all rebuilt. As for power handling I wouldn't worry about the extra 200 RMS as long as you can keep the voltage up with that amp, if you give the subs a clean signal they should be fine

this might be stupid but what's "big five" I've only done the big three. Is that like big three with the batteries in the trunk grounded? I also plan on listening to the same type of music with a little bit of pop in there

You should get all 3 redone so they be the same sub or dont run them together

I will get the third rebuilt in a month or two but the box I'm building is only for the two.

Or for the price of an optima you can probably get two of these for the trunk: http://www.remybattery.com/deka-intimidator/9a34m-ct-agm-battery.aspx

They seem to be good batts

I will look into those for sure thanks for that link it will help keep cost low. Do you have experience with them? And I also saw that the amp hours is only 55 is that an issue? I have no experience with two or more battery setups. I will try two of those with a battery isolator.
