    SSD 12 with flatwound and BP power or a BL 12 stock

    FI BL 12" is just for you , make sure you have the electrical to back the amp up that your gonna power it with.

    power supply question

    No capacitor, just make sure you do the Big 3 in 4 guage or bigger wire (most usually do it 1/0AWG) and an XS Power D3100 or Kinetik HC2400 with a voltmeter to watch your voltage and you should be good.
  8. All three are good choices, I voted for Sundown. The SS RLP-12 wood be a good fit as well as a DC Level 3. I say flip a coin if comes down to it.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    I honestly think the Chargers could stop the Colts if they dont play soft and let up, they gotta play 60 minutes of great football. I think whoever wins the NFC Championship game will win the Super Bowl.

    Having a hard time choosing.

    I doubt it is that big of a difference, have you ever tested a 3500D to even know what it is pulling to do a comparison (I would go with 500 watts give or take some). If your not competing then I would get the 3500D but if you are then just buy the second 2000D since you already have one of them.

    Having a hard time choosing.

    Now that is a touch choice, your gonna have to let it boil down to a compromise either 500 watts more power or just one amp with less wiring. Which will you choose?

    Welcome to the IHoP

    I admit I laughed at that one, they give these punters to much grace. I know they dont want anyone injured on purpose but it is football and not flag football. They act like these dudes are better then the quarterback, they cant get touched at all.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    How do you miss 3 kicks in a playoffs game, all you do is kick the damn ball. The thing that gets me about the issue is you hardly see new kickers in the league, but they will pass veteran kickers around the league like rag dolls. When one does bad he is cut and is picked up by another team because there previous kicker was doing bad. So what should that tell you just because he signs with you doesnt mean he is automatically going to shine for you and your team. Suisham fucking blows

    Welcome to the IHoP

    These new members are the worse and arent getting better, why do you cry when someone talks to you like a man. Are we hear to baby you and sugar coat shit like where your parents and tell you everything is going to be ok?

    saz 1500 ?

    As many as i want jaycee,until i find what works for me.Couldnt possibly bother you that much,man thats what this forum is for! Why are you guys getting so upset, nobody is bothered but this is not helping you or the forum. Obviously you cant follow the rules since we just said dont vote for anybody unless it is false or misleading information, which my post wasnt. My post is to help you but you guys get sand in your vaginas and dont even notice when someone is helping you because yall rather cry about someone hurting your feelings. Grow up an read my post and take the valuable information from it. Every answer you need or want is in my post and other post that have been on your so many threads about the same thing. You can make as many topics that you want, but the same exact topic with one less subwoofer and an amp with 500 less watts wont make a big difference and isnt really that far off. That is why you need to find out what your goals are, what your budget is and what you can fit in the space you have available and go from there. Instead of every six hours barely changing it up, it is not helping the forum or you at all. Instead does this go with these or will this power this, you need to start a topic saying I have this much space with this much budgeted for each aspect of the install listed with your goals, the electrical upgrades you made so far and what ever information you can give us to help you make a better decision.

    Death Penalty TL scores

    The real question should be what are gonna be your goals for this year with the DP and whatever information you can give us so we can help you with your install and get you ready for competition. Knowing what others hit is not going to do anything for you since every car and install is different, I would focus on what Im trying to do and how to get there. That will make this topic better as you can see not to many responses and it might stay like that. What are you competing in and so on, lets get these answered first then we can help you with your setup?

    sa-8

    oh... pretty much everyone that ive talked to said to go sealed or 28-32 for rock/ metal Try 30-35hz and you will be ok, regardless of how many videos he shows you it wont determine how it will respond and react in your vehicle. Every system is car and install dependent, you just have to make a compromise that is what car audio is all about.

    saz 1500 ?

    How many of these amp topics are you gonna make, there is no such thing as underpowering a subwoofer at all. A 100 watt amp will make an Icon produce sound, a 500 watt amp will do a better job and 1000 watt amp so on. Figure out if how many subs you want and then find out what amp will go with it. You dont have to overpower a sub, you dont have to give a sub its rms and it is ok to give a sub less than it's rms (its all on budget, personal preference and goals such as daily or competing).
  21. Definitely do appreciate this, excellent read and will help me.

    power

    Not enough information, your gonna need an HO Alternator and 1-2 group 31 batteries.
  23. Can any amp be strapped? I asked about strapping Autotek MM's before on this forum and I was told they could not. Yes you can, using a device called a Maxxlink: Maxxsonics Maxx-Link MLX-100 (mlx100) Equalizers Sound Processors Car Audio Car Audio, Video, & GPS Navigation - Sonic Electronix Forget all about that device, fixed my previous post.
  24. Can any amp be strapped? I asked about strapping Autotek MM's before on this forum and I was told they could not. Not all amps can be strapped together (some need a device), that my friend you need to find out before you run them.

    amp for icons?

    Well you should be good on the HO alternator, yeah I feel your pain my main battery is in my trunk too but since it came with factory 4 gauge wire and Im not upgrading my alt anytime soon I left it along for now (but I did the other two wire). Yeah well at least the run to the second battery will be short as hell, you gotta compromise in car audio.
