notorious97200 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Don't buy any HO alt for now. With 1500 watts you can be good with your electrical system. Just do the big3 in 0 ga. Run 0 ga wire from the battery to your amps (with a distribution block if you have a 2nd amp). I f you want to use a yellowtop : go for it. When you install everything, check your voltage. If you have too much voltage drops, you will need to upgrade. The sundown sax can't be found cheaper, new. shipped, it's a great deal. You need 600 watts rms per sub, so the sax1200 can power 2 sa's subs. Be careful of the VC you get on your sub. Audiopipe is cheaper for amps but not better. On a budget you can find some good CLARION amps. The FI ssd seems to be a very good choice too. Forget all Power acoustik !

Loudcivic Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 my buddy has a sa12 on a audiopipe 1500d @ 1 ohm and is doing fine. the 600 rms is rated but its really alot higher if you know what your doing. YOU DONT NEED A HO ALT. listen to these people not the noobs with 10 or 15 post. for the power your gonna be running a nice battery and stock alt and you will be fine. just wait on the alt buy your sub and see how your voltage is. if its a problem them maybe look into it.

I'm just looking for prices on the ho alts just in case, it seem like for my car i might not be able to find one V_V.(2008 Lancer GTS comes with 120amp stock) I am going to be getting a Autotek SM4-1000 for my kicker ds650.2s 2 sets (front and back) midbass and highs,I've used the amp to power the same speakers before and its wonderful! So I may need a HO alt, but we'll see. I gotta figure out what gauge wire ill need to run to a distribution block too. Ill have 0 guage on the sax-1200d, and 4 guage on the sm4-1000 so in order to do that and clean what size would i need to run from the battery? Also what is a good CAP brand? Thanks in advance everyone! Edited October 1, 2010 by xstingstreetx87 Quote DONT MIND ME, IM JUST A DISRESPECTFUL PIECE OF SHIT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig28 Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 if youve never tuned a box before use torres box calculator Quote TEAM DC Everything is a 150 on th earometer Well I guess punching a woman is a good way to test your strength! You never know how strong you are until you cold-cock a woman in the head and break that bitches jaw. Next time she tries to punch you in the stomach, whip your wiener out and chase her around.
