Anyways that RF800.4 can be ran down to 1 ohmn per channel and should run all four sets of that HF 6.5s ..... so with saying that i'd elimate that RF 400.4 (that's just me). as for amps i'd do the two sundown 3ks or 3.5k over one RF4K. batteries ......... well stinger, kinetik and powermaster will do. but looking at all the power you'd be running i'd do at minimum 3 runs of 1/0 with at minimum 3-5 good batteries in the rear. as for getting that 300 amp alt from DC, you'll definitely need it. 2-DC 15XLM2 D.7s 1-DC 5K amp (1) XS Power D6500(UNDERHOOD) and (1) XS3000(REAR) 3 runs 1/0ga for power and 2 runs of 1/0ga for negative. (2)-RFT165s components, ...... 4 separate 1 inch tweetersRF T600-2(fronts) Punch 450.4(rear) Audiocontrol 3.1.

troy Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 im doing about the same setup and they told me about 5 d3100s would be safe. you could get by with 4 but not recommended. retarded build on the way..... 2000 bagged s10 2 hdc3 15s aq2200 aq4x90 stinger/knu wire optima batteries 220 amp alt fosgate hu/mids and highs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then 400.00 for Rf 360.2.I really dont need the 360.2 but it would nice.The left over would be for misc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlo Stanfield Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 with dual alts can i use a stock alt and a Dc Power? Shouldn't be a problem I've seen a bunch of ppl run stock alts + aftermarket ones in a dual setup. Batts wise you should be good with something like a Kinetik 1400/1800 under hood and 4 2400s in back... For those you'd be looking at like 1200-1300 for all 5 batts depending on where you get them. Call up Kinetik yourself and see if they might give u a deal for repping Team Kinetik. All depends if you have prior competing experience or if you plan on doing so next season. 1998 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer... New setup, old ride... QX56 is staying stock til I get loud... It's only getting walled off if I don't meet my goal @ SBN. Pioneer AVIC-N2 (12) 12" RE SXs old model.... (3) AB VFL 500.1 @ 1ohm each Dual 300amp Ohio Gen alts.... (10) Northstar NSB-125s 26ft3 @ 33hz w/ a ton of port area 156.5 @ 40hz @ dash, Db Drag style / 153.2 Bassrace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
