Help with my Sub Setup PLEASE!!!
|
New member Username: AudiosaabPost Number: 1 Registered: Nov-07 | Hey guys, i'm here to ask a quick question for whoever is willing to help...Im currently selling my current subwoofers and purchasing a sealed fiberglass enclosure from tccustomsaudio.com to hold 2 12" Alpine Type R Subwoofers. I was wondering what type of amp i should use to pump these subwoofers to full capacity without them blowing out, what capacitor would be good to get if im looking to buy one, and if anyone has used tccustomsaudio.com before and if they r trustworthy....also should i get a ported box? or sealed.... please help, any would be appreciated thanks!  |

Haven't used that site. Amp, you will need a 1000 watt RMS amp, make a thread in the amp section if you need to know which ones are good. |

Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 6573 Registered: Nov-04 | You can run 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 subs off of one amp as long as you meet the ohm requirement. Look at MTX/Xtant/RF/Kicker/PPI/Orion class D amps. If you're wanting to install a cap, use 1F for every 1000w of peak power. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 3680 Registered: Jul-06 | The lights usually will dim a little when the bass hits. But if your voltage is dropping, the only way to fix that is an HO alternator. And before you ask, no a battery will not fix it either. HO alt if you getting voltage drop. No 2 ways about it. |
