brewer_brewer Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 lots of things. you would need a separate system for your car (18 volts will usually fry you ECU, window motors, headlights, etc) or you would have to regulate all of the car's power back down to 14 volts you would need a "16 volt system" alternator you would need 16 volt batteries those are the most BASIC things you would need this is all stuff that you would not want for a DAILY application. a 16 volt system is like riding around with race gas in your geo metro while just driving back and forth to work.

tripleb45 Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Well I have decided that AQ is the amp I am running with I am selling the Hifonics now. Dam I wish I had 4 of these. But ok run a 12 v battery under the hood and a couple of 16 v batteries and 2 16 v alternators. Thanks man I appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewer_brewer Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 don't attempt it. i promise it will not turn out good if you don't know what you are doing.

Marlo Stanfield Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 I am watching this same amp. I am thinking about running 4 to 6 of them depending on how many BTL's I decide to run. lol Are they .5 ohm stable and are they strappable? They are very nice amps and realistically could charge much more than they are for them and still sell plenty... Yes, you could run them at .5ohm daily but then say goodbye to a warranty and hello to more amperage being pulled for not much more power. I don't get why everyone all of a sudden is trying to run amps below their ratings. Just get the correct VC config on the subs you're planning on getting or spend $100 for a recone to a different VC configs. It's a hell of a lot cheaper than running a much higher risk of burning up a $600+ amp. Also regarding your 16v inquiry, I think Brewer explained it right on point and his last piece of advice I'd stick to... Or if you do plan to go the 16v route then PLEASE have someone install it that has a good amount of experience in that field. 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....

Or if you do plan to go the 16v route then PLEASE have someone install it that has a good amount of experience in that field. That is exactly what I had in mind. I don't plan on running these babies at .5 ohms. I just wanted to know if they could be ran that low. Honestly if someone wanted to I would like to also know what is the big deal about .5 ohms. I just don't get it. And again I am having professionals install my stuff and I will be right there learning, but I at least need the right materials. Hell I wouldn't need 6000 watts ran to any of my BTL's I just like the possibility of the amps. So I would most likely be running a 14v system or 16 v system.

sayhuh? Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Did this thread get hijacked or what? Steven, Just remember to order before the end of the year. They are on sale until then. You'll be happy with them as will I. Blown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
