Bronze Member Username: Bassfreak596Post Number: 62 Registered: Oct-04 | i m currenly using a jbl 600.1 for my brahma. 1) i was planning to buy either HiFonics BX 1000D / 1500D for it. which one will not pose a problem to me without an Alt upgrade ? both are overrated, correct ? i read somewhere that when measured the 1000D gives only 700w at 1ohm.. so should i look into the 1500D 'cause it wont be much of an upgrade then! 2) if the kicker kx600.1 can run at 1ohm i can buy it from my friend. can it run at 1ohm? i know its 2ohm stable but so is jbl 600.1 n it runs at 1ohm withouth a glitch. i dont mind dimming lights as they anyways do ! and i dont listen cranked up all the time. 3) will only a 1F Capacitor do ? i cant really spend much. i read on this site what Glass has said on this issue. but will this suffice ? considering i get everything internationally shipped, it becomes too expensive. |

Remind me not to be on the road when you drive. 3) will only a 1F Capacitor do ? i cant really spend much. i read on this site what Glass has said on this issue. but will this suffice ? considering i get everything internationally shipped, it becomes too expensive. ok, if you don't believe me, here are more links you can read up on for capacitor and charging system info: http://www.wickedcases.com/caraudio/capacitors.html http://www.wickedcases.com/caraudio/charging.html http://www.bcae1.com/capacitr.htm http://www.bcae1.com/chargin2.htm http://www.bcae1.com/charging.htm http://www.wickedcases.com/caraudio/batteries.html only 3 of those I wrote. |

Bronze Member Username: Bassfreak596Post Number: 64 Registered: Oct-04 | i bet Glass, dont you even get the slightest idea that i am trying to test you, man! you are way way up there. i m just beginning to understand what is to be understood. yeah i know the site bcae1 since a long time. i refer to it for the box building and have looked up to understand how the sub actually functions and all. But its all superficial and i really dont understand when it comes to the technicalities because i m basically a medical student (doing dentistry), bit by this bug a few years ago ! i own a range of gadgets and can turn the pc inside out.. but surely for somethings i need to ask people like you. 1) BX1000D for 1 12"brahma, is it good ? i dont think i ll ever have the space in my car trunk for two of them. dont ask me about my listening habits, as long as it is worthy of pushing a brahma but at the same time not smoking it up ! i need it to be good and not Xtreme !! 2) havent read your links yet but i bet they ll be worth a dekko. few months down the line i ll go for an Alt upgrade and all the necessary things. rome, ofcourse wasnt build in a day ! thanks Glass. |

Gold Member Username: GlasswolfNorthWest, Michigan USA Post Number: 7123 Registered: Dec-03 | I understand. Sometimes people hear a lot of misinformation too, and don't know who to listen to, so I try to provide cited data to back up stuff people have a hard time with. This is one of those topics that frequently has a lot of heated debate over the right way to do things. that'll be fine for a brahma. that sub can use as little as 500 watts RMS to reach full output depending on the box type. if you want a lot of output with good SQ from a single twelve like that, go with a vented enclosure. it's a bit larger than a sealed box, but smaller than two sealed twelves, and the output will be much more suited to what you're after. |
