dugee81 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 My power and ground are pretty thick i don't know the exact gauge, just some left overs i pulled out of my first car, the amp i have now came with a 30A so yeah its nothing spectacular, i just wish i had the funds to build a mean system pushing 120+ DB's, maybe when I'm done with college. I bet you could surpass 120db with that audiopipe. Do the big 3 and get a new battery as well!! 200a alt. by Excessive Amperage hc800 under hood & 2 Deka 9a31 in rear 1/0awg + big 3 SAZ 3000D HDC3 18" @ 2 ohm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickkresh Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 don't use that amp on those subwoofers...might blow your subs with that kind of rms. I would suggest getting a RF 500 series. basic monoblock that won't even put a strain on your car at all and will bump those subs hard as hell forgot to mention that you probably can get that amp cheaper too on ebay. versus the one your looking at. just FYI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The audiopipe will pull at least 120A, and 120A x 12.5 x.8 =1200 Thats over three times the current draw even at 12V. Your going to need a fresh deep cycle battery with as high of ah rating as possible and definitely do your big three, make sure you use a decent brand 4ga kit for this amp as well. I think you'll be very surprised at the jump in power you'll be making. It's all gone! The Celica Build Feedback If I buy something from you, DO NOT USE FEDEX!

I can afford the big 3 but how much is a decent 14v battery? 2000 White Saturn SL2 Kenwood KDC-248U Head Unit 1 Rockrod Fosgate HX2 punch DVC 12 1 Rockford Fosgate R500-1 amp Stock Mids & Highs. Budget Build, I spent about 330$ for the setup. but its a crx, if you cant fart and do a 150 in a crx there is something wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
