siucsaluki11 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 So im going to be doing a new system, and am trying to figure out what its gunna cost me, so im trying to look around for amps and see what ill be needing. Ive heard these subs can handle well over heir rated power. So far Im looking at Hifonics Brutus series, AQ2200D or the 3k version, or american bass VLF 110 or 120 amp. Im open to other suggestions. Id like to have one amp for both subs. Im looking for somethin that is going to be a good reliable product and if possible not cost too much (over 1k for the amp itself). I have a '00 blazer 4dr with a stock 110A alt and a stock batt (been replaced but its not a red/yellow top or anything fancy.). I realize ill be needing to upgrade the alt, big 3 in 1/0, and 1/0 for the batt to the amp. But as far as H.O. alts and 2nd batts, what should i be looking at? Also, im planning on getting a module from MLA. What would be a good voltage to have that set at? I was thinking maybe 15.3 or so, but i really dont know too much about electrical upgrades in a car, so idk if thats enough/too much. Anyway, any and all helpful input is greatly appreciated.

Kian Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 15.3 is ok for your system optimas can handle on 16 volt peak. Give Mechman a PM about the alt and batteries he has hella good prices.

siucsaluki11 Posted December 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I have two American Bass VFL 100.1s for $580 shipped. thanks, but i wish i had the money right now. Im taking courses at acoustic edge the next 3-4 months and ill be broke, so its not gunna happen for a few months. Im thinking of maybe trying to run a single amp. Well, which would have less current draw on the car's electrical system as a whole, 1 amp or two? When i finally go to do the new install, if you still got those amps, id be glad to buy them off you.
