i'm thinking two 12's or idk... I want some deep bass, but i don't think the 10s put out as well as I thought. I would really like to be able to crank it up loud enough to possibly get some hair movement. Can I do that with some HDC3? 1 18? 2 15s? 2 12s?

ah, alright. And should I just get a prefab, or do anything in particular if I make a custom?

What Wattage amp does he have? Is 120 amps considered weak?

And would I need to get a ported or sealed box for that? THat's actually exactly what i'm looking at right now. But, for an AQ 2200 would I need another battery etc? How would I get my electrical up to par?

Hey guys, I'm looking for some guidance as to what I should do for my car. I've got a Mark4 Jetta. Basically a sedan type car, with fold down seats. 120AMP alternator... My first system was an AQ 1200 amp, with 2 10" 450RMS Soundstream Rubicons... I was pretty disappointed with this setup...

Buh, bump. I want to upgrade my system, but I need to get the electrical settled out first I think..

Well, trying to charge a second battery with a possible last-crutch alternator isn't a good idea. Since the system wasn't dropping once I got the new battery, it's leading me to believe the issue lies within the alternator. I've checked all of the connections multiple times, and ensured that the...

I'm only running an AQ1200 amp, with two 450rms subs. I have an 120amp alternator, along with Big three. Is that not enough?

Still... I went from a ****** autocraft to a red top; It should at least be equal to the autocrap. The battery held its charge fine for a week or so.

I thought red tops charge fast, and yellows are better for secondary batteries. But either way.. The battery was doing great for like a week

Hey guys, I'm having an issue with my electrical system. I'll start from the beginning. 83k - 2003 VW Jetta - 120A alt Had an Autocraft silver to begin with, about 2 yrs old. Installed 2 450RMS subs, and an AQ1200D amp. Everything seemed to work fine for a while, until I started thinking...

Well, it's a $250 amp. So what can I do which is least expensive, but will give some decent results? I'm thinking about getting some Audioque SDC2.5 12s instead of these Rubicons, but I don't think that will "solve" my problem. The amp is clipping so much because it can't pull enough power, right?

lol, so do I NEED another battery with only 900RMS? or do I just need the big three?

Oh, and i'm only pushing like 900 RMS lol. The subs only push out 450 RMS 1000w peak each. Do I really need a battery in the back?
