you should be good with that amp, I would at least put in a decent gam battery and do big three. you shouldn't get much voltage drop at all with those upgrades

get the biggest battery you can fit under the hood, and make sure you have a very solid ground for your amp. Most capacitors these days are a joke and don't have anywhere close to the rated capacitance. spend the extra money and get a second battery if you're having electrical issues. A shitty cap will cause you more problems in the long run, and possibly turn into a bomb. (literally). if you wanna get a cap, get a fire extinguisher too.

Thanks for all the help guys! Much appreciated. I'm deffinetly doing the big three and getting a capacitor if my voltage drops too low. Pretty sure I'm gonna invest in the Kinetic HC2400 to make sure I have some extra juice to run another amp for mids and highs with space permiting. Am I able to wire the sub down to 1 ohm even though it's a 4 ohm sub? Because I looked up wiring guides and I couldn't find any to wire (1) 4ohm sub down to 1 ohm.

A dual 4 ohm sub can only be wired to 2 ohms (parallel) and 8 ohms (series). So you better get an amp that has high power at 2 ohms or an extra dd sub :) or build a big box ...... Ohhh and do not get a capacitor as it will not help you that much. You better off saving further and just getting an extra battery.

That's what I thought, thanks for clearing it up! I would get another sub but not sure I can find another DD 9515 used or especially new at around $900 hahaha. I'll just push it at 2 ohms. Found two hifonics amps I was thinking about buying- BRX2000.1D (1400 watt rms X1 @ 2 ohm) or for a little bit more or X2200.1D (1600 watts rms X1 @ 2ohm). Both are suposed to have 1/0 inputs, so they should work just fine.

Yah those should work well with that sub. I am actually running my DD at 2 ohms too and it sounds amazing.

We had a DD 9518 sc in a 1991 civic hatch in a box that was 6 cubes that was tuned to 24 hz on a DD m3 @ 1 ohm and it was going HAM making the car lok like it was going to blow itself apart. DD woofers like their power. Feed that 15 as much power as you can for your budget.

you gunna want 2k. they come alive. 1000 isnt enough. 1500 is meh, it woild hold you over but lows arent storng. 2k is where they start to come alive.

id recommend 4-5 cubes net with 60-80 sq in of port tuned 37. i built a box for a buddy and response is extremely flat 32-50 and only tapers a few db on each end. nowif you want decaf im not the guy to design your box.

Thanks guys! I'm trying for the biggest box and biggest amp I can! haha...It's just hard to find amps @ 2 ohms for the low, ya know? If it was able to be wired down to 1 ohm I would deffienatly give it 2k+. Out of curiosity, why does everyone have their setup tuned to like 36 or 37 hz? Why not 32 or a little lower? Much appreciated guys

If this sub really comes alive at about 2k, anyone know an amp that's stable at 2 ohm about 2k watts? For the low if thats even possible :drinks:
