Should I Buy 2 12" BTLs for SPL

Recommended Posts

Hey I'm currently thinking about buying 2 12" BTLs for SPL.... I drive a 2003 Tiburon GT and planning to put them in a full wall. Could someone give me some ideas about amps, what options to get with the subs, how much RMS do i need/can they handle, and If this is really the subs I should get? Thanks

Are you competing? Or do you just want to be the loudest guy on the block?

Other than amps and subs, you'll need to upgrade your electrical if you even want the system to play for decent periods of time and at a loudness you want. You'll need a High Output alternator and at least one large battery.

i think a sundown 3000 will do the job with a smile on its face with the correct upgreads and the BTls are SPL.... are you gonna run music too? as a daily set up? or just SPl only

The you'll want two Sundown SAZ-3000D's if you plan on going that route. One for each BTL.

Start thinking about Dual Alternators, or one HUGE one. Which batteries do you have?

4 runs of 1/0awg from the alternator to the Batteries. Then put a buss bar over the top of them in Parallel.

Run the grounds from the rear batteries to the front battery with 4 more runs of 1/0awg.

Pray that it's enough.

I'm now looking at 2 Hifonics Bxi2607 2600W amps.... one per BTL. Will that be enough. I would go with 2 Sundown 3000D but i simply don't have the money to get them now
