quad150db

Talked with the dealer and the alternator for my car is rated at 145 amps couldnt get any more details then that and honestly not sure what other details I would be looking for.

Its doubtful I will change the alternator.. I simply change cars to often its a 2011 and prob will keep it another year at the most. I have no problem swapping the battery and adding in an extra battery if that isn't enough then I will reevaluate the new alternator. As I said I do not listen at full tilt often at all.. Usually fairly moderate volumes however I do have those at a car show moments where things get loud but never for more then a few mins at a time. @S.DeYoung That is what I am trying to decide if others that are more fimilar with the line feel the cost upgrade to the 1500D over the 1200D is worth it. Being that they are different lines of amp the SAX vs SAZ I didn't know if there were more differences other then just output and footprint.

Anyone have an opinion on the 1200D vs the 1500D ? Both seem like that would put out enough power for what I need the 1500D would give me some extra headroom though..?

@jshort... that is what I was saying that I originally meant one amp and one sub .. The idea of strapped never even came to mind until mentioned by @Notorious from FWI I agree strapped for my situation wouldn't be beneficial..

@jcshort that was my original idea when I mentioned two amps I have never run a strapped setup before so really didn't think about it till mentioned here..

As much as I knew .50 was prob going to be kinda rough I was hoping for a simple solution.. I will start looking into strapped 1500's Appreciate the information and any further advice ... @Bigjon no its 2 dual 2ohm 12s sorry if it came off as confusing.

Have a pretty old Car audio background however have been out of it for while. I have been using my legacy equipment for years and has served me very well however its time for something new and very interested in Sundown. I already purchased the Subs a pair of RE MX12's that I want to run ( got a really good deal from a friend who was parting out) and need an amp to power them. They are Dual 2 ohm Subs so trying to decide if I should go with 2 1500's or If I can get away with either a single 2500d or 3500d I would really like to use a single sub amp for both space and system Simplification reasons. I know running Either amp will be at @.50 which is under its rated capability. Most of the time the volume will be played fairly moderately ( former SQ competitor ) but really like to get a bit loud sometimes.. As far as electrical its going in a 2011 Acura TL Sh-Awd not sure what the alternator is stock but plan on leaving it and upgrading the battery with possible second battery install also if needed.. I appreciate any help or advice out there from those fimilar with Sundowns line.. Thank you, Brad
