garton05 Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) I'v got a 2002 escalade with a alpine IVA-W205 deck with two phoenix gold elite's in a sealed box. The subs take 1200 watts apeice of continuous power handling power. What are some good amp's that will stand the time? Also i had a cheap amp hooked up and my lights were deming even tho i have a cap. How else can i solve that problem? just looking to finsh thing off right!

Carroot1 Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 what amp do u have and forget the cap. if your voltaged can handle the amp i suggest using an aq2200d for those two subs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel4055 Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Well to fix the voltage issue, take the cap out and burn it, do the big 3 and get a new battery up front and put one in the back.

Hellbound Train Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) Spelling for one is a winner. Also the big 3 upgrade and a battery with a higher capacity is a must. Also be sure all wiring is correct. Any shorts and other issues can cause voltage drops. Edited January 16, 2011 by Hellbound Train Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run wire from the front batt both + and - and just hook it up. Perferibly 0 gauge. Quote Rest In Peace mother.

FaTbOy911 Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Audioque.com What he said Quote Had an estimate of 6400 for an alpine/clarion setup dealer said it "should" hit around 160db with the custom boxes he was going to make for me..doubtful with so much area to move but, budget is way below that any ideas on cheaper brands for that kind of Spl setup? really didnt want to try any Boss or soundstorm, thinking Quantum figure around $150 per speaker "$1800 total" and $1700 to power it, first actual big setup for the van.
