Rich Schenk Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 U need to figure out how big of system are you going to be running and how many batts ru going to run for a battery bank. Lot of factors come into play.basically need more information on what u r trying to accomplish with your system? On 3/28/2014 at 4:22 PM, KyLar96 said: Its all about the music anyway.....

DJ JDub Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Putting in 4 MTX TS5512-44 being ran buy (hopefully) 2 1500 RMS 1-ohm amps. Have 2 batteries already, as I am already running 4 t5512-55 which are half the power of the TS's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
