Bronze Member Username: BigbenPost Number: 22 Registered: Oct-06 | what if i have 2 subs what does it mean if it says 1500 WRMS x 1 at 2 ohms. does that mean that it will push 1500 wrms to both subs or will it only be half cuz its 2 subs? thanks to anyone that can help. |

Bronze Member Username: BigbenPost Number: 24 Registered: Oct-06 | i dunno around like 1,000 give or take. the subs are like 500 tho so i only have like 500 or so for an amp,.what would be a good choice for an amp that i wont have to buy like a new battery for and stuff. i dont have money to spend on that. |

Silver Member Username: Tdawg30Ohio USA Post Number: 321 Registered: Jun-06 | well if I were you I would get some audioques or some fi's, www.ficaraudio.com www.audioque.com and i would look at the SD2 or SD2.5 for the AQ and the FI, would look at the X and maybe the next step up, but if you get the SD2 or FI X, it would be easier to power, sound better, and be cheaper for an amp and subs. |

Silver Member Username: Tdawg30Ohio USA Post Number: 322 Registered: Jun-06 | or you could be prolly the only person in your town with a fi SSD 18" subwoofer. its only 250 or so with shipping and handles 800watts rms which wouldnt be bad for your electrical system. |

Bronze Member Username: BigbenPost Number: 29 Registered: Oct-06 | so if i bought a 18" Fi then would i still need all that stuff so my battery doesnt die?? |

Silver Member Username: Killer44Ontario Canada Post Number: 685 Registered: Dec-04 | you could prob get away with running it off ur stock alt if you are not always blasting the volume and it depends on what size ur stock alt it...like Trevor said its only 800rms so u might be fine with a stock alt, theres onyl one way to truly find out hook it up and if the lights dim turn it down till u get a h/o alt and new bat/big 3.... |

Bronze Member Username: BigbenPost Number: 31 Registered: Oct-06 | do you think that it would be as loud as other subs?? i know its a 18 but there are other subs that have more wattage?? i dont really know alot about this so thanks for you comments. |

Silver Member Username: Killer44Ontario Canada Post Number: 687 Registered: Dec-04 | sure power means alot in how loud a sub will get but with the right enclosure and set up you can take the 800rms and make it seem like much more power, im no expert the other guys on here will help u out with box desining and postioning but jsut alittle story i have a 1994 ford probe(no longer drive it) but it had one 12(mmats 250 rms) being fed by 180rms(peice of cr@p PA amp) in a bandpass box(i know eveyone hates bandpass lol) and the thing pounded louder then then my buddies 3 audiobahn alum12q with an old school rockford amp pushing 1600rms @ .5 ohms jsut alittle story on how install/box and even the car matter...hope that helps... |

Bronze Member Username: BigbenPost Number: 32 Registered: Oct-06 | thanks alot...i have a friend that has 2 15 inch L5s and he only have like 550 watts to each sub and his bangs hard as hell... also my other friend had 2 15 inch jl audio w3 and it was pushed by a 100 watt amp. it was amazing then someone stole it cuz his dumbass never got a car alam and left his door unlocked during spring break. haha but i never heard anything as loud as hist tho |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 2776 Registered: Dec-05 | you can get a 160A alt and is not that expensive, 250-300$ range |

Gold Member Username: James1115Ct Post Number: 6688 Registered: Dec-04 | if your going to get a 160 you might as well prepare for upgrades in the future and spring for the 200 if they make it. It wont be a huge difference in price and is well worth it. |
