jcm1689 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 get cooling. hixm coil, and daily. your gonna need a bigger alternator, need to replace the batt upfront with the biggest one that will fit (powermaster, or kinetik) atleast one more big bat in back and your gonna need to do big 3 and at least 1 run of pos. 1 run of neg from the batt up front to the back in 1/0. just a warning. your probably not gonna be able to do the system the correct way and stay under your $2500 budget.

Guest Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 btw Joe, theres a little button on the bottom right of your post called Edit. use that instead of triple-quadruple posting . your gonna need an extra alternator and batteries as you will be pulling 4kw+ worth of power to the subs alone. Kicker 2500.1's will be perfect, just get the Dual 1 coils, (1 2500.1 per btl). Dual 1 coils will allow you to wire a sub to 2 ohms, which is the lowest ohm load you can put on any Kicker amp w/o risking the amp being damage. you WILL need to do the Big 3 under your hood (search for the Big 3 thread on here, its stickied in the electrical section). you WILL need to have at least 1 deep cycle battery in the trunk and one under the hood. and you WILL need to get a High Output alternator of at least ~160amps. subs will cost you about $500 fully loaded each, amps will be around 700-1000, wiring will be about $100-150, alternator will set you back about 150-300 depending on the power output and brand, and about $100-200 in batteries. *prices might be a bit inflated, just a guesstimate* Ok so im about to order my 15" BTL's.

Dont choose the SPL option ever unless you want to only play tones on it. Knukonceptz wire is pretty good, i recommend them. Kicker wire and Rockford Fosgate wire are very good brands also. The amps are going to be very power hungry so you need a good electrical system to help sustain decent voltage above 12v, anything under that and your getting into trouble.

LoudNLow931 Posted August 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Wow thats alot of stuff i need to do with the little amount of moneys i have.
