Questions on properly powering a 18" BTL

[TooLoud4You 0]

Hi I have been looking around at this Forum and now I find myself checking it each time im online.

I've been looking at the Fi subs(very impressed btw) and im now very interested in a fully loaded 18" BTL.

Now if i were to run a Hifonics BXi 2607D would I need to get the dual2ohm BTL? and wire it in parallel?

Also what upgrades would I be looking at in my electrical system? (new alt, a few batterys)

I plan on taking out a backseat in my Ford Fusion for the BTL.

Any input would be greatly appreciated

Thanks and merry "late" Chrismas!

Yes, a dual 2 ohm BTL with that amp would be a nice setup.

With that amp, you could get away with a couple of nice batteries. Follow that with a HO alt and you should be good.

I ran 4000+ watts on (2) optimas under the hood and the stock alt for a long time. . .

Brian, Is that your new setup in your avatar?! How ya been? So that Lanzar's still runnin for ya? Some people have all the luck...the rest of us live through you

That Lanzar is long gone. I saw it for sale on caraudio.com not long ago. . .

I almost bought (4) Lanzar OPTI6000D's, but decided to run (4) IA 40.1's. With my setup, I am not sure which one would have been better, but the 40.1's were less $$$, and I know they are VERY reliable, so I went with them. I had (8) US Amps MD3D's for about a year, but sold them to buy the 40.1's.

Yes, that is my wall with (4) Loaded Fi BTL 15's.
