I've been itching to rebuild a new stereo system since I sold/broke my old gear back in the day.
I'm interested in putting 2-12 audiobahn aw1200q's in my dual 2 cu ft box (ported 35hz fb). Theyre 700 RMS 1400 max (dual 4 ohms). I know I want to paralell them to 1 ohm. I have my eye on a Hifonica Brutus 1605B (1600 RMS @ 1ohm).
Will the projected 800 watts RMS to each speaker be dangerous? I just don't want to blow em, I want them to be strong and healthy. I know amps differ astronomically as far as real power output(mostly in perfect test environments). But the amp is class D and probably very efficient...
Also, what kind of measures should I take to assure proper power flow? Bigger than 4AWG wire? What farad cap and do I need a second batt?
1600 rms is okay just don't turn up the gain too much, you don't need a cap, they're useless, and 4 awg is perfect, if your lights are dimming when the bass hits, its time for a new alternator, but an interstate optima battery will do until then. the cap is useless b/c they cant charge up fast enough from bass hit to bass hit, and the only time they are usefull is when you have enough amperage to properly power your audio system anyway which would involve that new alternator
