Amp and Power cap
|
New member Username: Coolguy101Minot, ND Chinka Post Number: 1 Registered: Feb-08 | Alright I got one 12 inch 1600 watt sub and two 2600 watt subs and I was just wondering first off, should I get a power cap, and if so how many farads you think. Then second off, how many watt amp do you think I should get.. I was looking at a 6000 watt amp its just a little frickin spendy. Oh and then I was looking at crossovers and decided that I didnt really need one because I dont have tweeters or middles so yeah. Any help? |

Replace your existing starting battery with a Kinetik HC1400 Power Cell or larger for best fit in your exisiting battery holder. Step 2. Install the following Kinetik HC Power Cells near your amplifier installation: MODEL QTY HC1800 2 http://www.kinetikaudio.com/calc.asp first thing you need to get is a 300 amp alt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i would get one from http://www.excessiveamperage.com/ Nate is the owner best alt for the money!! here is the link to sundown www.sundownaudio.com now have you got the sub's yet? |
