trading my truck for a buick roadmaster!
sundownclown replied to sundownclown's topic in Direct Sound Solutions
had my box builder checked my trunk out and i wont be able to fit the 15's plus 2 amps and battery so... im going to be switching back to the 12's im sure it will still hit hard!! man only a lil over a month left!! im counting these days so many people are dying to hear them.. xmas in october! hey question how much does it cost to have a alternator installed? im a noob when it comes to car anything really but if its not to hard i mite give it a try.. im hoping its easy or not to much $$ cause im running out of $$$ i still need to get a box built.. get another bettery for under hood.. and get a deck.. o and i need battery terminals and i think thats about it for now.. still waiting on my sky high 1/0 ofc amp kit and big 3 kit.. i ordered it but they are out for a few more weeks but no rush really still have till oct till i can start.. for the back i have a blockshakers battery i was thinking of getting a red top battery for under my hood.. i only have about 200$ to spend on a under hood battery so yesturday i went to this place called werks auto sound near me.. i think its the best shop in my state for sure the owner nick is super cool dude too.. i guess u can say it was my first demo!! hahaha!! cause i never really heard many systems in my life.. i mean yea i heard a few over the years but it sounded great! think he had 2 DC XL 15's on a DC 2k and a DC 4 channel on some CT sounds tweets and mids.. he said i could come by the shop when ever which was super cool! i would love to learn some things -

What's the best 3,000-3,500 watt mono block class d amp i can get?
sundownclown posted a topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
aight so i will be getting two 12 DSS Ethos in oct.. they are 1,800 watts RMS.. there is two so could i get a 3,000 watt amp for them or will i need to get a 3,500 watt amp?? also i only have about 650$ to spend on a amp which sucks.. any thoughts on what i should do? i kno i will be needing to get a second battery and a better battery for under the hood.. i never really had much of a system.. i only have two 10's now and a Hifonics BE1700.1 for the 10's and a alpine 4 channel for my door spearkers.. this will be my first time upgrading my electrical.. will i need to get a better alternator or can i just rock the 2 better batterys.. my new build will be the two 12 Ethos.. a 3,000-3,500 watt amp for the Ethos and the alpine 4 channel amp and 4 5x7's.. i hope i can slide with just the two batterys cause dont think i can afford a nice alternator.. -
