Courtfucious Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 At the current moment all I have in my 2002 Cavi is 1 Fosgate SP1 12" sub being pushed by a 300w Kenwood amp... going for quite the overhaul in my opinion. Getting 1 15" Eclipse SW9152 here is where the opinion part comes in... I am really debating what amp I am going to get at the moment I am looking at the Hifonics BXi 1610D to run to this sub. With this much of a power upgrade I think I will also be getting a cap. Would like to get some suggestions on Caps as well as other options for Amps. Also do you think a yellow top and high output alt. will be needed or no? Sorry I know alot of newb questions but not real sure about the car audio department any and all help is very appreciated.

tehbert0 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 don't get a cap. you wont need a high output alt. if your voltage starts to drop just get a little battery for the back instead of a cap Quote http://motorcitydesignsaudio.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What ohm load are you gonna go with because that amp is 1100W x 1 Chan. @ 2 Ohms and 1600W x 1 Chan. @ 1 Ohms. I would skip the cap and go right for a battery, meaning a Kinetik, XS power, or something along the same lines. If your gonna be going for the one ohm load I would upgrade the big three wires and run 0 gauge from the front battery to the back battery. Your not gonna need a high output alt with that low of wattage unless your gonna run around all day long playing it at full tilt. As far as another amp goes I would check out www.audioque.com and read about his amps. They are nice and don't get hot. Hope this helps ya!

Courtfucious Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I was thinking I am going to run it @2 ohms... The sub is listed at 750w RMS but everything I have read has said thats a complete lie and people are pushing it with 1k plus with no problem.... I will have to look at those other amps for sure... anyone have box suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtfucious Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 The box I was lookin at was a prefab box with 2 cu ft... its sealed but I dunno I have never really tried to build a box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtfucious Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Ok I guess another question would be this... I am getting the SW9152 for 200 bucks shipped to me anyone think I can get something better in that same price range... I dont think I can but thats just me... the SW9152 is one of the best subs I have heard hence I am going with that but again I am a newb from smalltown Iowa so what do I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
