Well 1, he is using a 500 watt amp which is half the power handling of that sub, and 2, its called a gain knob. You don't have to have it up much. A more efficient box allows him to be able to turn it up when he wants or turn it down.

It depends what you want to do with the products.

I guess you will be watching blueray too right? I don't know if its a user error or not but this doesn't sound good, http://reviews.cnet.com/av-receivers/harman-kardon-avr-247/4864-6466_7-32445662-1.html?ord=creationDate+desc&tag=txt;uo

I think it may the cheapest route, cost-wise, for you to go.

How big is the room? I think that with it being place against a wall, you will get more bass output. If you have a smaller built sub and box try putting it under the table and switch directions and then getting an spl meter (radio shack meter, that is all you need for this and it is about 20 dollars I think) if you want more output for the power. Test and see with the meter at your sitting area which orientation is the loudest. Also, what game system, media device, peripheral devices, etc? Comeon details man. lol. That sub and that tuning with that size box is going to be beast especially if that room is as small as I think it looks like. O and I checked your numbers under the table and it looks like you have about 17 cubes to work with before sub, port, and bracing displacement. info on your port size?

What the hell are you talking about, every site that I look up an Hifonics amp is says it does the 2000 x 1 @ 1ohm for the Brutus 2010: Hifonics Amp Yeah man stop making this so hard, just find an amp that does what you want it do at 2 ohms and fits into your budget. If your stuck on Hifonics amps then check out the BXI-2010 or 2610, those will fit your needs. You need to do your Big 3 Wiring if you havent done so and get you a secondary battery for you amp. ARG sorry... but at this link http://vminnovations.com/product_1272/HIFONICS_BRUTUS_BXi2010D_2000W_Mono_Amplifier.html they rate the amp at those ratings.. Yes i will do my big 3 upgrade here in the spring I dont see a real reason to do so yet As winter is coming and i wont be bumping when their is ice on my Truck. Sorry for making it diffacult Im just trying to figure it out so I know exactly what i am doing so i can do it right the 2nd time and not Shoot for a 3rd. call or email the company about the ad. They will let you know for sure. Don't be afraid of this company because of one misprint. I have bought from them many times from cell phones to amps. ap1500d. I did however, buy through their ebay store but it would be stupid to have weaker customer service on their main site. With you needing a 2 ohm load, it may be better to look at some kicker or rockford amps on ebay or something because most of them will output max RMS power at 2 ohms instead of 1 ohm, if 2 ohms is what you need. I skipped through some posts .

There is a canadian car audio forum too but I forgot what it was and guys on there know about the internet companies like Fi.

Nice sarcasm. Shows how much people know about the stuff they are going to buy. hehe. Also, things made in china don't necessarily mean that they are junk or cheap. It depends on the company that oversees the products they get from the build houses.

your battery is still connected to the alt so your amp is still going to pull current from the battery too. Why do you want to do this? Don't get a cap.

1 per or get a single bigger amp.

Dude, that was really a dick comment but it was kinda funny.

fixed. hehe. If you ask Shizzzon, he will tell you how much of a real dick I am around these part of KY.

Don't forget they probably have orders before you too. Give them some time. Its made per order.

Which version? I have the specs for the 2.2 version: Parameters * Power handling: 1000 watts RMS * Sensitivity: 84db (2.83 volts) - coils wired in series (4 Ohm nominal impedance) * Impedance: 2 + 2 Ohm (DVC) Dimensions * Outside Diameter: 26.4cm (10 3/8") * Mounting diameter: 23.2cm (9 1/8") * Depth: 14cm (5 1/2") T/S Parameters * Fs: 27.8 hz * Re: 3.7 ohms * Qes: 0.46 * Qms: 6.44 * Qts: 0.43 * Mms: 234.1 grams * Rms: 6.34 kg/s * Cms: 0.14 mm/N * Vas: 13.9 litres * Sd: 265.9 cm2 * Xmax: 20 mm (one way linear) * Cone Diameter: cm Recommended Box Sizes * Sealed: car installations - 17 litres (0.6 cu. ft.); home installations - 19.8 litres (0.7 cu. ft.) * Ported: car installations - 22.7 litres (0.8 cu. ft.) 36hz tuning; home installations - 28.3 litres (1 cu. ft.) 32hz tuning

bitch you have no powers to close this.

Meh, sometimes he's an ass but he's helpful a lot of the time. And I think its just something about being behind the keyboards. I sometimes see my posts almost like I was set out to make someone feel like shit. But its just sometimes people set themselves up for it. And the biggest thing about the INTERNET is.... seriousness. not. Don't take anything to heart from anyone. I bet you ///M5 is a sweet guy in real life.

Dude, I know. I know its the BLs because I checked the youtubes lol. And OP - what kind of mic are you metering your setup because from what I see in the videos, it doesn't look to be a TermLab.

Wow, I'd like to know that info too. edit - found some info. BMW hatch FI 10'S WONT SAY WHAT THEY ARE THERE SPECIAL" 2 AUDIO QUE 2200'S 2 KENETIK 2400'S 1 DC ALT 185 @ IDLE" 1 MLA MOD CHARGING @ 15.8 VLTS UHH HUH!!! Lucky ass. I cannot wait to get my DC Power alternator back when its done powder coating. I want to say these are BLs?

AP also has the ap1800d amp too. Just make sure that the ads say 1800 rms at 1 ohm or you may be getting an amp that is not the ap1800d or 1500 rms at 1ohm for the ap1500d. The ap 1500d is 150 shipped and the ap 1800d, I have seen for 190 shipped. I have an AP 30001D and a 1500D. I couldn't be happier with either. I have also had the bxi 1206d and the bxi 1606d from hifonics. They were good amps as well. Didn't mess up on me. I just had to sell them because of a different direction I was going. And 200 watts is not going to be noticeable from 2000 to 1800 watts. Price is different though. However I have not seen much talk about the ap 1800 watt amp. The 1500 and the 3000 have been tested and showed great numbers.

Shit, I even said it first lol. F you Sean.

Really, you think its the same thing because they tell you that its rated for 220 amps? And at what rpm is that rated at? and what is idle rating? Their idle rpm is probably 1k rpm too. A well built high output alternator is expensive. Call or email mechman or DC Power Alternator.

damn. In on this great looking build.

If this is the audiopipe ap30001d model then you are not getting around 900 watts to that sub. At 2 ohms, its 3000 watts at 14.4 volts for that amp. And if this is your sub, http://www.crutchfield.com/S-cPAoE4CgbIO/p_2067C15VR4/Kicker-CompVR-07CVR154.html, then its way too much for the sub, rated at 500 watts rms. No wonder the sub doesn't like "900 watts".

Depending on your car's engine, DC Power can get idle amperages above 200 amps with a single alt. Think of the duals.

a d3100 is good enough in the trunk with a 200 amp alt.
