type R 15s (need more help)

regaurdless Im aware the subs are underpowered although they are rated for 750 rms we all know they can take a good amount more which is why I will be getting the aq 2200. around 1000 a piece should do them nicely.

NVm, my post is pretty pointless seeing you have the subs already.

But as for the upgrade I would go for a H.O. alt. and a nice batt. under the hood.

In trucks you can fit pretty big batteries under the hood, so it isn't really necessary to run a second for 2k. And as for a box I would go 3-3.5 cubes per 15. Some people have run a pretty hefty amount of power on stock alt, so if you're going to keep the stock alt I would upgrade the battery under the hood and also add one in back.

Do you know the amperage of your stock alt?

No I dont. thats why im starting to do all my learning now. build wont start until affter winter. I want to learn as much as possible about my options and prices before i just go and do it. I will findout about my stock alt, But i was thinking of doing 2 better batteries instead of one battery and an alt just because of price alone. 2 batteries should be 4-450ish i hope if i find decent deals, and that right there doesnt even equal the price of one HO alt.

plus i will be switching from 4 gauge to 0 gauge and doing the big 3.

Just outta curiosity i remember a dude on here running the aq3500 on stock electrical and a single battery. he had 2 aq hdc3 10s and his videos looked like his shit wanged, how did he pull off the 3500 on stock electrical? i believe he has a silverado single cab?

[Jared420]

Anyone know how optimas match up against the kinetiks and xs powers? I got price checks on a redtop for under the hood and a yellow top for the back and both combined would come to 330 so the price is more than right but will that support 2k rms?

I'm not familiar with the setup you mentioned, but just b/c someone has a big amp doesn't mean they are getting all the power it can produce. It would be impossible to run an amp that big at FULL tilt at 1 ohm without having some upgrades.

I know stock electrical could never power out 3 k rms , nowhere near that I do know that much but all I saw were good comments and people impressed by his 2 10s being crazy loud. Didn't see anyone asking why he would be running that amp with stock electrical. Either way I'm not trying to bash anyone or anything just curious. but I need to figure out my situation and I gotta find what batteries will work for me and what I can get a good deal on

Optima Yellow tops don't stack up against even a Kinetik 2400 much at all, let alone an XS 3100 or Northstar NSB-125. To save a little money I'd suggest just throwing the yellow top under hood and then one of the other 2 big batts i mentioned. Electrical system is not something that you wanna skimp on. It's pointless to spend money on subs + amps if you don't have the electrical to run the amps properly. If you aren't gonna have the proper electrical setup then just stick with your 1200D until you have the money to do so.

good to know I know NOTHING about batteries, if I'm going to do it I may as well go for it. Making a new box for my subs now probably wouldn't give me a drastic change. Adding power and changing the box definatley will. Maybe I'll get lucky and find someone selling a big batt at a good price and get a yellow top and save some money.

yea hees right on that. dont slump on eletrical for the 2200d id recomend a 220amp alt and a couple hc2400's

If you were to build a new enclosure right now you'd see a drastic difference in output... The box you build is wayy to small for the little power you're running. If you were to build something like 8.5ft3 @ 34hz w/ 100-120in^2 of port. The box you currently have is very inefficient and building a much larger one(like i mentioned) you should see a very big difference.
