Bl can take 2000watts. And yes op, you will need another battery.

Haha I just laugh, its all that's left to do.

Yeah I try to keep the build log late a couple days so you always have a stream of new stuff to post. (sometimes at least lol)

Kryptonwhite has some more WIN worthy content for you M5.

Absolute love for this thread, new awesome pics everyday,

The batts should help keep voltage up. They should have enough reserve depending on what amps your running.

I'll look through my tunes and try to find some more songs that are laid back and slow then get intense. Always good for demos, people aren't expecting it

Loud Mouths by Wise Blood. You can download the track for free Shizz, http://rcrdlbl.com/artists/Wise_Blood/track/Loud_Mouths Beginning of the song is ehh, and slow. Then it ramps up in terms of vocals (around 0:20), some mad bass to go along with the vocals would be killer!

Yes it's fine, especially if your willing to charge the batts regularly.

I'll have some bass in my car sometime next month, I'll wait, money is tight atm

Yeah, sounds good. I'll have to wait a bit before I can really test them out

You can install the amp, set the gain by ear, play some bassy music at full tilt with the car running and put a dmm (digital multimeter) on the starting battery to get a voltage read out, or you can install a stinger lcd voltmeter in your dash or next to your amp. If you decide to install a stinger voltmeter, remember you have to calibrate it. Calibration is easy, just need a dmm, and match voltages.

0/1 gauge. Welding wire would probably be cheapest, you can buy it from weldingwire.com (it's what I use and many others, all copper.)

I'd buy the biggest xs batt you can afford for the rear, set your gain on your aq1200, watch voltage at full tilt, if it's in the 12v-12.9v range with the car idling then I'd back the gain off until its in the 13v+ range.

I wouldn't worry about the extra battery straining the alt. Just give the battery a good charge before installing, and watch your voltage at full tilt (making sure it's not just sitting 12v draining the battery) Wiring the extra battery is easy, run a strand of wire from positive stud on front battery to positive stud on rear battery (fuse the wire in case of short circuit), and run a strand of wire from negative stud on rear battery to chassis (grounded like you would an amp)

Just because the AQ is RATED for a 200amp fuse doesn't mean it pulls 200amps with a clean signal. I'm done arguing with you. Let's get this back on topic for the OP plz Your absolutely right, that's why I also said if the amp was 100% efficient (which it is not. lulz) that it would pull around 150amps at full tilt (which isn't anywhere near 24/7 either) Point is, that amp would induce massive voltage drop on OP's stock electrical, and a big expensive battery would be needed to help alleviate the voltage drop.

It's going to depend on what type of battery you decide to use, if your willing to even use one. Also depends if you think you might upgrade your substage to a bigger, louder setup in the future. If so, get the amp with the power you'll use in the future and gain down for the time being. Now if your going to install the sa12s in a few months, aren't going to be upgrading anytime soon, and just want an amp that powers the sa12s decently without having to do major electrical upgrades then I would do the following: I would look for a used sae-1000d or sax-1200d, and get something like a xspower d1200. Both these amps will easily pull enough current to have bad voltage drop, but between the d1200 and possibly gaining down a little, you should be good. I'm only suggesting the sundown amps because I've personally used them and haven't had any problems. Same goes for xs power batteries. Kinetiks or dekas would work too, not sure which model. I don't have any experience with the hifonics and haven't heard anything great about them, so I'd stay away. If you don't want to use any extra batteries then I would look for an amp that does around 500watts (fuse rating less then 50amps)

What about the 2200D for the SAs What part of "do as little electrical upgrades as possible" do you not understand? "But if it would be absolutely worth it i would do it for the 1700." The AQ probably draws about the same current as the Hifonics because the BRZ is so damn inefficient. The only extra upgrade I would consider would be a small battery in the back (the big 3 was implied) If you're going to criticize me, atleast make sure you make a legitimate point please. AQ suggests an external 200amp fuse for the 2200d. The Hifonics BRZ1700.1D has 160amp fuse, and the Hifonics BRZ1200.1D has a 140amp fuse. But hey, lets say the AQ is the most efficient amp in the world at 100%, so it only draws 150amps... Stock alt on OPs vehicle (2007 altima) is ~110amps, so at idle maybe 50amps After ecu and computer draw, lights, dash and cluster, ac, you got what 20amps excess at max? at idle, eh... A small battery isn't going to do shit. OP needs to use a lot less power.

What about the 2200D for the SAs What part of "do as little electrical upgrades as possible" do you not understand?

Only played it on my computer speakers, must be super low since they didn't show any hint of bass I'll have to play it in my pops truck to test it.

Where else could you possibly find such awesomeness?

Pm it to duran and I pretty please

Can you post links to your tron and pink floyd remixes
