    zx2500 amp draw

    You fail to understand basic electrical draw. If you have an alternator that is supposed to put out 220 amps at full tilt, that doesn't mean that it will put that out all the time. It will only put out that amount when something is drawing that amount. In other words, if your beating around and its a reletively quiet part of a song and all of sudden the song gets loud.. you see a massive voltage drop as the alternators try to spool up all of a sudden to supply the amps with current. Your batteries act as a buffer so that doesn't happen. And when you're running that much power, you need a large battery bank.

    Stand by for the final build on the SRT-4

    You of all people know that you very well could have passed that up.

    does fi make 8s????

    I like how you're basing your final decision off of "I think". Very brave of you.

    Yay new system time!

    What's wrong with the Behr? I've heard of alot of car audio guys using them. So? Just because they're using them doesn't mean they sound good.

    No batteries? I was waiting for some of those.

    zx2500 amp draw

    You can figure this out with some basic math and reasoning skills. Take the car's voltage on a good day, we'll use 14.4v as an example. Now take the rated power output at 2 ohms (2500 watts). Divide the wattage by the voltage. You should get around 173 as your number. Now this assumes that the amp is 100% efficient at that power level. You should assume about 70-80% efficiency on a good day. Figure each one draws around that 173 number though.

    HOLY CRAP.

    I'd guess they're just the output ones. The big one looks like its for the power supply. Most of the Pro Crowns have them that size.

    Recomend some $200 components please...

    The 720's are pretty sweet speakers. Be a hard passive set to beat.

    Many new items being added to cart!

    Eclipse in the future please?

    Arc Audio

    The Arc should kill the Zapco head to head.

    Fi BL, SSA Icon, or DD 9500??

    You're kidding right? Have you any idea of all of the variables that that equation has in it?

    not able to up load pics...?

    Don't bother loading them to the site, load them to imageshack.us or photobucket. Then use the supplied "forum" code that they give you to post them here.

    saz 3000

    2 SAZ-3000D's on one 220a alt and one battery? That's a big no-no.

    2 Tempests

    I assume ported? What is your resonant frequency? What space do you have to work with? What kind of power will be going to them? And in addition to that.. what electrical upgrades have you done? You're leaving out vital information here.

    Yay new system time!

    Not too much typing.. just not enough Paragraphs. The only flaws I see are the stock HU and the Behringer. Both will be detrimental to any type of sound quality, whatsoever. I'm sure someone else will pipe up about the speakers, but if you already have them.. you might as well use them I'd stick with a sealed 10, but I wouldn't use the Q. Sundown still has the SD1v2 preorder open til the 14th of this month. I'd jump on that if I were you.

    Fi BL, SSA Icon, or DD 9500??

    3 cubes and 1500watts? Sounds like a 15" ICON would almost be perfect if you port to 33hz. If you could fit another .5cuft in the box, that would be ideal.

    Question about powered sub.

    it's a full range output most likely for hooking up satellite speakers or to do a 2.1 setup.

    Iasca SQ rules questions

    If there isn't a rule.. chances are they don't care.
  21. johnecon2001

    Sealed or Ported

    Doesn't sound like you care too much about sounding amazing with the setup.. therefore I vote for 1 15" BL ported.
  22. johnecon2001

    does fi make 8s????

    What subs are you asking about exactly? Fi makes quite a few different ones.
  23. johnecon2001

    HOLY CRAP.

    One of the JBL/Crown amps? It looks real similar to the pro audio Crowns I've used.

    Arc Audio

    $200 seems low for that amp actually. Jump on it.
  25. johnecon2001

    Can it be done for under a hundred??

    I'm gonna go with... what else was on his list ?
