notorious97200 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 If you already have the subs, get the amp you can, for $1200. Don't focus on power yet ! Without serious electrical upgrades you'd better run small power, and save some more for alts and batts. You can still have fun with 1000 per sub until you can run more. black BMW X1 2.0 l 192 hp OEM head unit, Amplifiers : Audison AP 8.9 amp with integrated DSP and Ampere Audio 1200. Focal ES 100 K in front doors, and Dayton RS 180 for midbass under the front seats. 2 SSA DEMONS 10" subs, in a 2.6 ft3 ported box. SecondSkin Damplifier on front doors, and Luxury Liner Pro for the cargo area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundown42089 Posted April 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 I just realized how expensive my electrical upgrade would be on 8000 now that you mention that..So I'm gona start with 1 18 for now on a skar 3500 a 370 mechman and a few Batts, and work my way up to a second alt another sub, amp, and a few more Batts.....By next year in tax season I should be able to finish this build!!!...But the real question is the skar amps good quality? Or should I save more money and mine as well grab the cresendo bc3500.......And to save a little money would a 370 and 240 mechman be enough amps to run the vehicle and both 18s effeciently or do I need another 370?

Keith77 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 I would go a different route than a Skar. They aren bad but you could get better. Look into an Ampere Audio 3800. That amp will put out over 4k at 1ohm. https://www.droppinhzcaraudio.com/content/ampere-audio-aa-38001-3800w-rms-monoblock-car-amplifier Thats cool. Im way too old to be upset by shit like that. Your name is winston. Your own parents hated you even before you were born. My penis is bigger than your penis I'm far from loud and my roof/headliner flaps around like Adam's ass on a windy day. I think it depends more on the structure of the vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron36 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 There are many options for a good amp that can handle .5 but they aren't cheep . I'm am American Bass VFL fan also Digital Designs, Sundown, Ampere. I'm sure there are a lot more just look at some builds on this site and ask a lot of questions. It's just better to buy the good equipment first and have to keep replacing things. I like your idea of starting smal and building up 1 18 is still gonna pound. 2022 Ford Maverick on 22’s Skar SK1500.1 on 4 Skar VD-8’s Mids Sundown Super tweeters, Skar TX 6.5 components on Skar SKM400.4 LC2 for audio control , XS Power D680 XS Series Extra Battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadeTreeMechanic Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Maybe start with an 18 at .5 on a single amp. Then a second sub and amp later. Or if it was me I would do two amps on one sub then second sub later. 91 C350 Centurion conversion ( Four Door One Ton Bronco) 250A Alternator (Second Alternator Coming Soon) G65 AGM Up Front / Two G31 AGM in Back Pioneer 80PRS CT Sounds AT125.2 / CT Sounds 6.5 Strato Pro component Front Stage CT Sounds AT125.2 / Lanzar Pro 8" coax w/compression horn tweeter Rear Fill FSD 5000D 1/2 ohm (SoundQubed 7k Coming Soon) Two HDS315 Four Qubes Each 34hz (Two HDC3.118 and New Box Coming Soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
