SirJimbles Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Posted March 13, 2014 Key words: power it right. Will 2500 rms be enough to get decent results?
Smoove Posted March 13, 2014 Report Posted March 13, 2014 But seriously I was thinking about a level 5 18 but was not sure if i was under powering it. You should have started with that. That amp will push a lvl 5 very nicely. With proper gains set, you could get away with a DC XL. 2 Team Fi 15's v1 2 DD M5's 970amps of Alt 6th order blowthroughThe truck Blowthrough build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155555-smooves-1996-chevy-ext-cab-c1500-slow-build/The 350z build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/170694-smooves-2003-nissan-350z/ My FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Smooves-Car-Audio-and-performance/719746144805343 Team Fi Audio http://www.ficaraudio.com/
Krakin Posted March 13, 2014 Report Posted March 13, 2014 But the more important question is if you can sustain that 2500 watts of power. Alternator, battery(s), wire, everything needed to keep you from hurting your equipment and playing right.

SirJimbles Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Posted March 13, 2014 I will not be upgrading my alt. But will have an extra batt. And all 1/0 wire plus the big three. Is this enough?
Smoove Posted March 13, 2014 Report Posted March 13, 2014 Also I am aware that is a serious woofer. I am also looking at Fi bl, btl, SQ hdc4 or an hcca 15.2 All of those subs will do great on that amp. Build the proper box which sub you get and you'll be fine. Also make sure you have enough electrical to run the amp. 2 Team Fi 15's v1 2 DD M5's 970amps of Alt 6th order blowthroughThe truck Blowthrough build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155555-smooves-1996-chevy-ext-cab-c1500-slow-build/The 350z build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/170694-smooves-2003-nissan-350z/ My FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Smooves-Car-Audio-and-performance/719746144805343 Team Fi Audio http://www.ficaraudio.com/
Krakin Posted March 13, 2014 Report Posted March 13, 2014 You'll have to find out how much amperage your alternator can put out, describe the battery along with how long the run(s) will be. Someone here might stay up and help, but I'm passing out for the night.

SirJimbles Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Posted March 13, 2014 Well right now the batts. Stock but eventually ill upgrade to a pair of yellow tops or some other deep cycle batts. And well the suburbans a big car so probably around 10-12ish? feet Also im not sure how many amps the alt puts out but ill check tomorow.
SirJimbles Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Posted March 13, 2014 Well I looked under my hood and all the alt says is "dr44" is there any way to find out how many amps it puts out?
