OBI Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 First don't go "cheap" with things like this. But you'll be fine with 3 HC2000's/D2700's or higher and atleast a 250amp alt. But come one man what do you think will be louder? Both sub setups are about 1kw rms and one is only little over 100^2 worth of cone are and one is over 500^in. You pick.

Steph3n1 Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Yeah but they are only 1k rms each i want something more than that.. the HDC3 are wayy underrated the copper coils can take about 1800 watts of clean power and the aluminum option can take about 3k+ Quote 2005 Ford Ranger Reg cab Build in Progress T3 Audio T2000 12 ARC SE4000 Stinger HPM 1/0 Wire DC power 270xp Batts: 1 Redtop up front and a Stinger SPP2250 in the back Hopes to be in and around a 150....weel see my youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/steph3n1 Team DBs (Driven By sound) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisn077 Posted December 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 I might just get some SSDS for now then..my lights are flickering and im having voltage drop with the system i have now though. dc level 4 with AP1500D wired at 1 ohm. 1/0 Wire runs for the amp but I havnt done the big 3. Will the big 3 stop the voltage drop? Or do i need to get a extra batt in back? Quote 18" DC Level 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not trying to be a dick or anything just don't want to see you spend all this money and have subs or amps dieing on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gti'snahoe Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 you should look into the aq hdc3 18's and get another ap1500 and that should leave you with some where close to a grand left for your electrical upgrades and box materials, and trust me the 1000 watt rms rating don't mean nothing mine are eating up my fosgate 1000's but i have to up grade my electrical before adding more power, and i'm not sure about how much space you have but if you can't give them 5-6 cubes net each then maybe look into doing 2 of the 15's or maybe spending a little more on a single 18 that would like 3000 watts in a daily setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team_DC-Derrick Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 I agree with Gti to a point, but if you are gonna get another 1500 just switch to the 3000.1d and get 2 dual 1.4s wired down to .7 per channel.. the reason i say that is because your going to try to match gain 2 amps, and set everything exactly the same with 2 amps.. where as the 3k you only set it once and it works fine for both channels.. 2 lvl4XL 15s at .7ohms each channel on the AP amp runs great.

Yeah but I already have one 1500D and i would rather not spend any more money than I have to if you get what i mean. How much airspace do the 15's need?
