HPI_Savage25 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) Ok so I currently run 2 JL w1 12's with a Alpine MRP-350w mono amp. Sound nice but want something that hits harder but also for around $500, might splurge though as I will be selling my box, subs, and amp. Also getting a new headunit but that won't be in the $500 budget and neither will the amp. Here is what I am thinking....... 2 Fi Q12's dual 1 ohm and maybe BP power? Thinking of a crunch p3000? Going to do the BIG 3 and get a 150-170amp alternator and do all 0 awg wires for grounds and power cables. Also what headunit for around $200? I saw a kenwood in a friends truck today that I really liked. Can't remember exactly what model but it has (3) 5v preamps, USB slot, MP3/WMA playback, and few other things.

Neo_frog Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 Fi Qs or BLs will beat the piss out of those subs. So that's a good choice. Quote Need an install?

Make sure you stick with an amp thats not gonna need too much of electrical upgrade. $500 isnt alot to play with when it comes to buying subs/amps/electrical stuff. Quote

Guess I need to reword that.....sorry. I meant $500 for the subs. I will be doing the BIG 3 and getting a 170-175amp alternator most likely. Also do you think I would be ok with a 170-175 amp alternator? Will be running a Optima Yellowtop up front and a Kinetik in the back. Subs: $500 Amp: $500 Alternator: $300 Wiring: $100 Total:$1500 (Extra $100 added in just for those "in-case" items) Alternator: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.a...mp;autoview=sku Edited March 25, 2009 by HPI_Savage25 Quote Breaking in a sub is like breaking in your girl before you pound her....
SplPhreak Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 Now thats something more doable. You should be able to get a decent priced system for that asuming you do all the work yourself(build box, install alt and everything else). 2 Fi BLs 1 sundown 1500d 175a alt It may be possible to either save some money or buy an extra battery(or upgrade the one under the hood) Quote
Neo_frog Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 You can do better than $300 on the alt and possible go bigger. Contact Jake at dBLinc for a good quote. Pm me if you need a number.

I will be upgrading the battery under the hood in the next few days, possibly this weekend or the next. (optima yellowtop) I might go ahead and order 1 Fi BL and an alternator then start building a box. Sundown is the other amp I was thinking of, do you think it would do better than the Crunch 3000p? Thanks for the thoughts also. Sending you a PM for the alt also Quote Breaking in a sub is like breaking in your girl before you pound her....

SplPhreak Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 I don't know much about crunch... But I highly doubt that thing will push 3000w @ 1ohm @ 13v(most common electrical systems). I can tell you that I have heard nothing but good things about sundown and their customer support, so you may be better off going with them. Quote

I can tell you that I have heard nothing but good things about sundown and their customer support, so you may be better off going with them. the crunch will do 3k+ at 14v around 2800 on a decent electrical. But IMO i would rather go with a sundown amp Quote Team Deadly Hertz 1997 GMC 1500 Update.... System is gone Motor is fucked Truck is down and out for a while Myspace YOUTUBE My Build
