MusicHead804 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Posted March 21, 2014 i'm ready to get 2 sundown x12s and 3 amps, and a kinetik battery with a capacitor. I have a 1999 ford escort se, does this sound like a good idea ?
Bship Posted March 21, 2014 Report Posted March 21, 2014 ditch the cap and get another battery. also, what amps, are you building/designing the box?

Bship Posted March 22, 2014 Report Posted March 22, 2014 rather than getting two sub amps why not go with a good 3k to run them, it's usually cheaper and easier in the long run. To power those subs properly you will likely need a HO alt along with a couple good batts.

Bship Posted March 22, 2014 Report Posted March 22, 2014 high output alternator, puts out more amps than stock. You may have to search around for someone that makes one. Check with http://mechman.com/ if they don't have your car listed on the site they may still have it just give them a call. There is also DCpower and a couple others. You might want to do a lot more research before you start buying equipment so you know for sure what you want.
