newls1 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 (edited) OK, been doing all sorts of looking around, and am trying to make up my mind on my amp/s choice for this new build of mine. I am going with 4 18" BTL's, but here are my limitations as of right now. Obviously this is some expensive equipment, and I wont have in budget (take a few months) to add more batts. I currently have 2 DEKA Intimidators Group31's in the rear (They seem to be great batts for the money) Deka intimidator under the hood (All these batts are AGM tech) I have 2 alts (both will be 300+A each) and 2 runs of 0ot power going from front to rear. I can always add 1-2 more runs, that is no problem at all, but my issue lies on this: I need someone smarter then I to help me understand what will be "Less harsh" on my electrical. Do I run 4 amps, 2 amps, or 1 large mofo? My limit for amp money will be ~1500$ of course less would be better. So far here is a quick list of what im thinking. 1. 4x AQ2200d's 2. 2x AQ3500d's 3. 1x DAT 8.1 (This is more money of course) 4. 2 x RF T4000.1bd's (I would have to get used, and I dont like that) 5. 4x USAmps MD3D's (I already have 1) The options for amps here could be endless, so i'm looking for a knowledgeable opinion please. I want to do this right the first time, and have no regretes when I'm done. I'm hoping I can get away with only 2 rear batts for a short term, and will 600a of current would be enough to satisfy everything? If I have to swing a 3rd alt, no biggie. I'll get the additional arm from DC Power, and swing a stock alt as well, so that would net me ~735-750a of current. Thank you guys, much appricated!

newls1 Posted July 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) get the DAT 8.1 please! You sell your other 18's yet? 18"s I think are sold, im waiting for the person to PM me back. I am really leaning toward the DAT. I'd rather put money in the pockets of david/bill, and who ever else is involved with DAT, than a huge corporation..... **EDIT** want a demo when this is done? It should get nice and loud, or atleast I hope.
