New System Electrical upgrade Question

Recommended Posts

Ok guys new to the forums i'm looking for some advice on my upcoming electrical situation. I'm going to be ordering the new FI Q 18" with the cooling or bp option when it comes out. I have decided to go with the Sundown Sae-1200d also. The q will be in a 6-10 cf ported box. The car I'm putting the system into is a 2009 Ford Escape. So far everything in the car is stock electrical wise. I have ordered a knukonceptz 1/0 gauge amp kit and around 20 feet more of 1/0 gauge to do the big three. So after the big three and 1/0 gauge wiring i'm curious as to what you guys think i should do electrically with 1200 watts of power, to get the best out of my system. My budget is only around $150-200 for any more electrical upgrades so i do realize that I won' be able to do much more. So thanks for the advice in advance guys,

Nick

as you said you are going to do the big 3 so thats a plus, get a voltage meter and keep an eye on that. As for any other electrical upgrades i would wait until everything is installed and then determine if you need an extra battery

Get a meter and watch the voltage. If it drops then look into getting another battery but you should be fine with just the Big 3. No one will be able to tell for sure but a meter is the only way to find out.

The SAE-1200 will be enough power for your BL since it is a very underrated amplifier, going from 1200 to 1500 watts is not an upgrade and just a waste of cash but if you have it (those 300 or so watts wont be noticeable to the ear at all).

Welcome .... trink40.gif

If you plan on upgrading your amp look into adding an additional battery.

As Jaycee stated above if the SAE-1200D v.2 is in your budget then keep it! A great little powerhouse. Later on look into the SAZ-2500D when they're released for your upgrade.
