Hifonics BXI1210D and 2 12" pioneer ts-308D4

[thizzkid 0]

hi guys this is my set-up,

I purchased a new hifonics BXI1210D from vminovations to connect to my set of pioneer ts308D4 at 1 ohm in a dual ported box, should i be alright? any tips in makin my install better?

Any good ideas on setting the gain or any other settings?

current set up on my Ford 1995 Explorer 4 dr

-kenwood mpc205 HU with 2volts at the sub preout

-2 12" 308D4 pioneer 400rms each, final impedance is 1 ohm

-Ported box at 1.65-1.70 cu per chamber (rough estimate)

-4 gauge wiring from ebay

-1000 cold cranking amp everstart battery from walmart

-partial big 3, 4 gauge from + battery to + on alternator

-80 amp fuse 12 inches from battery

-level 1/2 up, LPF 1/3 up, SUBsonic filter 1/2 up

-stock alternator

-stock speakers

my HU maxes out at 35, and when i turn my volume up to like 25, with my headlamps start to dim, when the bass drops, so I think i should complete the BIG 3 and hopefully this will go away right?

if not i want to get a 3-6 farad capacitor, I hear alot of people talkin down on capacitors, saying that it will cause more stress on my electrical system, but i hear alot of people saying that it cures light dimming problem, so whats the issue behind this guys?

thanks for any feedback in advance guys

If you want to cure light dimming options then you need more power to make power and capacitors wont do that since they only store power. Finish the Big 3 and see how that treats you and if you are still having dimming issues then a secondary battery may need to be added to your system.

Is the bass eq on that amplifier the same as "Gain"?

The Level on the amp is the "Gain", the Bass EQ is the "Bass Boost".

ya i wouldn't be using caps they cost almost as much as a battery does and with a battery you cna blow 100's of caps away!

here is an interesting read about caps vs batts

Please keep us posted how the Big 3 ended up working for you. I highly recommend that to friends before they start spending money on caps and extra batteries.
