Make a compromise that is what car audio is all about, do you want 500 extra watts that are going to be audibly noticeable for more money and more wiring/rcas/remote start wire and take up more space. This is really a personal decision to be honest with, I dont see why a 2500 watt amplifier cant push 1000 watt subwoofers (you dont have to send a sub its rms or more than its rms to perform to its capabilities). x2 less is more and most of the time better for the sub! hell you should get just get a SAZ1000d from sundown! they are on sale right now! Sundown March Sale ! - SSA Car Audio Forum

well to get a +3db you need double the power or double the cone area in theory... but practically with double the power you gain around 2db's and yes THIS depends on the setup, the box, and what not! so with adding another 500rms (ideally) you could expect 0.5-1db increase~~ although threads like this like to prove the theory of double the cone = 3db's!

pics or you lie!! lol

kenwood! I used to own that kenwood flip it was awesome! i could watch movies, play DVD MP3 cd's! plus aux cables! and by dvd mp3 i mean 8.2gigs of music on 1 duel layer disk! and did i mension you can watch movies actually come to think of it i had the 817 or 618 somethign along those lines!! like i said they are impressive and very nice! but the ipod abilty on the older models blow chunks! so for me kenwood!

rubber feet also work! it doesn't hurt! lol! as for your trunk you could still use it if you put the amp in there aslong as you put something over top of the amp so stuff can't leak on it or even put it in a plastic box and use some fans (80mm pc fans) to push the air in and out! look at this pic here when my false floor is closed the fans blow cool air over the top of my amp!

explain this word fighting? i assume the belt is over both of the alts equally? also if they are hooked up in parellel (both going to the battery + post) have you considered running 1 alt to the rear batteries? maybe i dont understand what fighting means?

ya i was going to recommend jsut put it in the trunk but for some reason i assume his trunk is way to small (smart car idea) or maybe he doesn't wnat to use his trunk at all but in that case he could simple build a rack and put the amp under the rack that way he can still use the space the amp is using! but that is also why i asked what kind a vehicle he is using!

fighting each other? explain? and did you wire them in series or parellel?

umm if you wnat you CAN mount it on the box BUT you have to put rubber then a layer of wood over the rubber then mount the amp. the idea is the rubber will absorb the viberations other then that if you wnat to mount it inbetween your seats i would recommoned making a L shaped braket and mounting the amp on that (of mdf or something liek that) again keep in mind to lessen viberation is key here so you need to MOUNT it to somethign that is strong and not going to move all around! question: 1. what vehicle 2. what amp 3. what sub(s) 4. extra battery(s) 5.h/o alt 6. big 3?

To be honest with you I thought that they would be louder. I have 35 watts going to them right now. They still need to be eq'd and what not. Over all they sound good though. Dont tell me this, from my understanding and what everyone's been telling me these should peel the skin off your face. same here! i guess a lot of ppl lie to me?

try it out! let me know how it works lol and how how many dbz you getl ;p

lol b/c of me b/c i am a Canadian Eh lol!! jk!! I like how you put that PUSHING AIR lol so true but yet expensive! but to push air wouldn't a fan be ideal? lol !!!

did you note the numbers it made at 11volts? (output that is)

car audio = solvable on SSA forums money issue = good luck lol! in this ecomony it is hard to get a darn job some days lol!

and also when the nicer weather comes along i will start my build and a nice big build log and go from there! i will also make mension of what i did in my build log regarding the wiring situation!

Hey guys the wiring i am using is the KNU Kolossus stuff Knukonceptz product detail for KOLOSSUS FLEKS KABLE 1/0 BLACK POWER/GROUND WIRE 50FT and yes running it ON TOP of the car was a pure joke! lol (hench it was in brackets lol) thanks for the knu site it helped me to understand that i 1 run is okay but 2 runs would be ideal! with that being siad i will switch my negitive run into a positive run and if i get an issue i will just run 2 sets of ground wires though the other side of the car (rca side) but i will not know anything till nicer weather comes around and i get some free time!! and sorry for the late reply i was in school till now!! lol! again thankyou to everyone who has helped me out in my decision esspecially j-roadtatts Duran and sir lancelot!! p/s nice tat j-roadtatts!

same here!! lol

I DO NOT have an alarm and I live next to 3 ghetto's! but then again i am also canadian so it is to cold out to steel lol!! setup is 1-15inch 1-saz2000 and 1-nsb 90 the next one will be double that! if you are going sundown you will never go back! check these out first!

j-roadtatts i checked out your build iwth the wire under the car! looks very clean i like it!! also i found this site with a cool calc on it but i am not 100% sure on how to use it. the calc is on the bottom can you or someone shed some light? American Wire Gauge table and AWG Electrical Current Load Limits with skin depth frequencies my wire is 1/0 (woudl it matter that i have 1 run of + and - ) run is 13ft 12vdc now the load... 200amps (the alt can output) or does it mean the load as in the amp if so my saz2000-s cna pull nearly 400amps,,,

umm i c! good point my h/o alt is a 200amp alt! and since my wire cna support 300~ amps i should be good!! ty! problem solved that was fast!!
