Keith2 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 So i am redoing my system. Pulling out the two kicker cvr 12's, kenwod amps, front and rear components, basically everything but the kenwood kvt-696 and replacing it with two alpine type r's, 12" dual 2ohm, mb quart reference series separates front and rear. I'm building the box myself, it will be sealed and built to spec with a divider between the subs. All made from 3/4 mdf. I am down to shopping for amps. I was thinking the Rockford t1500-1bd for the subs running at two ohms, and the t400-4 for the separates. I also need at least one power capacitor, maybe a bigger alternator, the stock one is 140amp. This is all going in a 1993 BMW 525i. What would be your guys suggestions for amps? This is by no means a competition build, just for my everyday listening. Once I have all the pieces I will start a build thread. It will be kinda a slow build but hope to have it done by halloween. Thanks in advance, Keith. 2001 BMW 525i 12'' MTX Thunder 9500 Alpine mrp-m1000 Focal mids/highs Alpine mrp-f300 Build thread to come in a couple weeks after I source some more stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the dual 4s...build a ported box on the low end and they will take more power..this way your amp wont be on full tilt adn wont have to be clipped signal...I got two 15 type Rs on a 1500...the subs see 750(there reccomended) at minimum up to 900 at times take baby steps, u cant do it all at once unless u have a roll of 100's big enough to choke a donkey 1998 Chevy Venture "Swagger Wagon" Kenwood Excelon KDC-X994 Headunit 3 15" Alpine Type R's in seperate T-Lines 1 RF T1500-1bd for 2 of the 15s 1 RF P1000-1bd for the single 15 3 sets of Hifonics Zeus ZXi6.5C Components( 1 more set to come for Front stage) 1 Hifonics HFi100.4 4-channel amp Stock alt for now (DC HO SPL 400A when funds come in,currently working on buying this) Stock battery and one Optima Redtop for now (looking at XS batteries) 3 15" Alpine Type R's (aka Swagger Wagon Build 1.0) Swagger Wagon Build 2.0 Youtube Videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith2 Posted September 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 I already have the subs, and I hate porter boxes, just personal preference. And the t1500 wont be taxed at 2ohms, the birth sheet of the one I looked at yesterday said 1281 watts rms at 2ohm, 1873 at 1ohm, which this amp is very stable at 1ohm let alone 2ohm. As for the first reply, those are great deals! Definitly will consider them! 2001 BMW 525i 12'' MTX Thunder 9500 Alpine mrp-m1000 Focal mids/highs Alpine mrp-f300 Build thread to come in a couple weeks after I source some more stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
