LoudNLow931 Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Fi BTL's FTW over kicker. I would also look into DC Audio LVL4XL's.

Guest jbinn Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) Where are you guys buying your products? and other than subwoofers I don't mind buying amplifier used especially brands like Sundown / alpine and Kicker that are quality in the first place. 2 x 18" Fi BTL unloaded = $828 2 x SAE-2000.1 Sundown db-r.com = $250 ea. 3 x Kenetik Batteries (yellowtop) = $300 ea. 225AMP alternator (I know everyone says you need 300a+ for 4000RMS but you don't.) = $259 4 x 15" runs of 0gauge = $60 (1$ a ft) $2,547 EVEN if he wanted to run more 0gauge (which he shouldn't need to.) and needs a 4th battery and a 300a alternator the price would be under $3,000 I don't know where you guys are finding your systems but this is nowhere near 5-6k or even 3k... For around $3,000 he could easily run two BTL's. (You guys must also factor in that he can probably depending on condition get around $300 for his current setup.)
