Do I really need 10k watts for my first system? (daily driver)


Recommended Posts

Well, you can buy an amp, and set of speakers and have 3K in that alone... :rolleyes:

any amp and speaker combo you bought for that car that came to 3k would probably be overkill for that trunk haha

or you wouldnt get full output from them

you forget there is very high priced high end gear out there. think morel, hertz, focal, etc. you could easily spend 3k on an amp and set of speakers from them.

$1000 for wires

$1250 for subs

$1100 For amp(s)

$250 For Speakers

$500 For CD player

$500 For sound deadner

$500 For alternator

$750 For Batteries

$5350

This may be a 5000 system but it would be done properly and with reliable equipment!

Running a lot of power isn't necessarily a tricky/dangerous situation to avoid for a newbie. It's just often the case because many (most?) people don't take the necessary precautions to build a reliable, robust high powered system. This involves many electrical upgrades, from multiple HO alts, to large gauge wire and plenty of batteries. It also means running subs and amps that are suitable for the power you intend to run, without being pushed to their absolute limit. Having headroom is a very important consideration to owning a reliable system.

And finally the most important threat to any system is the one behind the volume control. This takes experience, true, but a little research and knowledge goes a long way here.

I don't think there's anything wrong with owning a decently powerful system as your first stereo, but you can't expect to spend all your money on subs and amps and expect it to survive. With your budget you can do a 2000-3000 watt system without much trouble, just plan EVERYTHING.

Get some damplifier pro for the entire car, a shop pack should be decent for the entire car. Get your electrical setup with the Big 3, a beefy alternator and atleast 2 runs +/- front to back. Than get a 3k amp, some decent 15s and wall that aveo. Throw a pair of d3100s in the trunk (you can never go too big on the batts) and you'll pound somethin fierce.
