Your just talking out of your ass. If you can fit more alts do it, but you should be fine with everything you listed.

this, try and get dual 300's.

I'd rather not have my system at 10 volts which is why I'm asking about batteries. I don't want the system to barely get bye, nor do I want my amps to be 300 degrees.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that you don't know why you want lots of voltage, you just do because everybody seems to.

Making less power? You know on some notes your subs impedance will be like 30 ohms or more. And it'll be getting a grand total of about 200w from your amp, due to inductive load. Do you think you'll hear the difference between 13.8 and 12.5 volts?

Your system would 'barely get by' on a stock battery and alternator, provided you didn't wang on it for hours at a time at full tilt. Someone from DD was running a Z2LV (8350wrms @ 12v) on a stock civic alt and battery. No worries.

I hear you (and like 75% of the forum) saying oh, oh, but I'll lose 400, 500, 600w...

Only the termlab will care, to be honest.

yeah i forgot about that. whatll really help is the mla module. the thing that can make your volts go up to 15.. thatll really help man.

Ill check into the MLA Module when Im ready to order my equipment. I forgot all bout that module

I might notice the difference from a few thousand watts. Ill probably notice my headlights dim too.

I understand what youre saying, but if I get equipment, I wanna try and make sure I can get all I can from it.

You would have better luck of keeping higher voltage with 5000 rms than 7000 for sure.. atleast with 1 300+ alt.. if you have the option to get 2, please do, it will save you alot of headaches down the road, like i am going through right now

Yeah, I'll probably choose the 5k setup because I don't wanna spend too much over $5000.

Which setup would sound better. it's probably going to be in a 8.8 cubic foot box tuned to 32-33hz with a 4300 watt amp (audioque 3500.1D)

1) 2 15" Fi BTLs which would be stock

2) 2 15" DC Level 4XL

well, rms stand point btls are 2000 rms and XLs are 1500 rms... both can handle more then that, but from the basic view, BTL.. personally i would do 5s vs BTLs just because they are kinda similiar, like, cousins i would say

level 5s are out of my price range and I've read reviews of people saying the 5s could take twice their power. That's why I was comparing the two.
