New member Username: JayzbentIL. USA Post Number: 9 Registered: May-07 | Hey guys whats kickin. Anyway my system got ganked couple of weeks ago now im rebuilding again. I have a DD9515 I can get my hands on for a decent deal but the only thing is its a D4 sub and I would have rather had a D2 or lower but for the deal I can't really pass on it. I had a 3512 D2 sub running on a PPI PCX1500 mono block. I really love the DD subs and the 9515 would be a step up for sure. Basically what amp could I get to drive that sub and not get killed in the pocket book? I like PPI (pre DEI) and I could get another but what else do you think would be a good match? Thanks, Jay B. |

Bronze Member Username: JayzbentIL. USA Post Number: 11 Registered: May-07 | Well I don't want to have to upgrade my alternator or electrical any more then what I have to work with. At the moment I have my 2 optima batts one for my car and the one I use with my MBR70 battary regulator. Question is that sufficiant to run a 3k watt amp? I had the PPI 1000watt mono and my PPI 4 channel 640watt running my fronts which I plan to just use a smaller 2 channel for those cause I wasn't using but 2 channels to begin with. Are those Massive Audio amps A/b or class D? Also I see that 3000.1 requires 0 gauge wire would that mean I would have to redo all from front or just from my second battery to the amp and regulator? |

I am running a single 15 probably box will be around 3.75^ft tuned to around 40hz. DD is rated around 1500rms to 3000. Its a DD 9515E so im am not sure what the ratings are should be pretty close to the new ones. I like NIN, Tool etc. So is 40hz good for this type music my 3512 sounded fantastic at 40Hz. I don't want it to sound sloppy on the quick beats that will drive me nuts heh. |

Silver Member Username: JkidderSpring hill, Florida Usa Post Number: 578 Registered: Nov-05 | sorry thought only the sub got jacked. sucks man. it would be really hard to power a 9500 with no ho alt. 2K is a good safe number for a 95 series |

Bronze Member Username: JayzbentIL. USA Post Number: 17 Registered: May-07 | Im thinking I may just get another 12. I was happy with it. Luckily insurance covered most of it cept the deductable but next time they won't get it unless they take the whole car I am making sure of that. I really don't wanna alter my electrical anymore then what I have now which is 4ga from front to my MBR70(they got my one but luckily I have 2)and 4ga. from that to my optima. And unless I run conduit under the car with 0ga. I just don't wanna redo it all. And if its gonna take that to run that sub I will just trade down no big. |

Bronze Member Username: JayzbentIL. USA Post Number: 18 Registered: May-07 | Its 135amp alternator and add in the MBR70 and other batt since it regulates up to 6 batts shouldn't that be enough to handle the job or does the wire running to the main car batt have to be upgraded aswell cause if it just from the second batt to the amp then its like only a few inches. |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 4649 Registered: Dec-05 | you need to upgrade your alt bro. 135A won't be enough to keep 3k rms. If i were you, i'd get that dd9515, sell it and grab a smaller model. IMO |

Bronze Member Username: JayzbentIL. USA Post Number: 23 Registered: May-07 | Well I can get an HO alt on ebay its only 165A for $165 shipped. I sent an email to HOAlts and they quoted me a price of $660 for a 170A thats pretty steep. Anyone know a good place to look? Im gonna check locally and see what I can find. |

Bronze Member Username: JayzbentIL. USA Post Number: 24 Registered: May-07 | Sweet thanx MS and Nick man I didn't see those. Still kinda pricey but if I want to run that sub im gonna have to do it. And if I do it at least thats done. Besides I have these teens across the street and he has a newer Monte Carlo and he has some Fusion Audio or something I never heard of it before. He has 2 12 and a 3k watt amp driving them it hits ok rattles more then anything imo. No highs all bass. I want to show him what bass is really suppose to be. So if I have to upgrade so be it. Nothing like a good friendly rivalry to fuel that inner fire. |
