n8ball2013 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 this is how i look at putting lots of power on hungry subs. i'll spend maybe 2000 on amps, i need to plan on maybe that if not more on electrical upgrades after you do a HO alt. batteries, wire. like i'm running 10kw. i got 6 batts and a large alt to power them. i'm at about 2500 to 3000 of electrical upgrades. for serious power. it takes series backup. just my two cents.Bills this is also dead on. I have 8 optima group 34s and 2 iraggi 300s. roughly 3 grand right there. not counting wire and buss bars and if you are talking man hours forget it.

Guest Dave Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 fixin to say i have only 1500 watts in bass and 500watts in mids and highs with a 200 amp alt and some kinetik batts and my truck still has a problem pushing this i cant play it unless im movin down the road or rev and hold the motor at 2000rpms still it kills it then. imagine what those powerhungry ass subs are goin to do even just one.if u have the money go for it. i would try one to start with and see how u like it. you could get two 10's with the same power maybe a lil more and still be louder than him if setup right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dave Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 what do you mean I have to spend that much on electrical and batteries? Why cant I just run 8000 watts off the stock battery and alt with four gauge? What do you mean this is going to cost me alot of money to do it right? Forget it im buying two type r 12s and a brutus 1206 thats plenty loud. u can prolly run 8000 watts through four gauge if its only like 3 inches long but i dont see that workin out to well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dave Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 definately possible...really up to you, but its definately possible...but if your having to ask questions about these woofers maybe go a little lower to start out with...serious power or dont think about it! i agree with ya btls are a lil extreme to start with for ur first system but what u see below is my first system as well and it isnt too small either. but one of those 18's if setup right would out perform my four twelves take into consideration the lower and slower the speaker can go more than likely the quicker ur truck will rattle apart. i have that prob with just twelves. i ve seen what 1 18 can do that wasnt even near as loud as mine(wasnt a high power 18 either) and the flexing is much more jurastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnold1992 Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 yeah its always louder with windows,doors open but maybe you can designs a blow thru far back so the wave can fully develop windows up...and yeah thats cool you get two 18's for your first build remember to take pics if you do that.
