get 1 MTX Jackhammer or 4 Soundstream SPL 170's

you can run a small town on a 200amp Stinger Alternator. You may not need to upgrade at all. Make a quick phone call to the manufacturer of your amps and ask them what their peak current draw is. For instance, the peak current draw on a JL Slash 1000 v2 is 100amps. That would be with your...

The only thing that I have purchased so far is the JL Clean Sweep. I am most definitely going with Zapco Amps. And I am going to use the W6v2's, but havent decided on size yet. The 13s arent much more expensive than the 12s. However the 13s would need a bigger box which I really dont care...

what is the cone excursion like on the 13w6? Do you really think that this setup could hit in the 140's? What if I put a 1000watt zapco to each 13w6? Would it be ridiculously loud?

This may be a stupid question. If I am going to use 2 of the W6's, is there any benefit of having each one in its on individual enclosure, instead of having one large box with both of them in it?

Would 2 of these subs with a 1000 watt zapco amp work out? Would this setup pound? Would it get stupid loud? Sealed box to JL specs.

What are the pros vs cons of a sealed box? of a ported box? Is Zapco's Mono 1000watt sub amp going to be big enough for 2 JL 12 W6v2's? Has anybody used non HLCD component kits from Image Dynamics?

Would the Zapco DC1100.1 work nicely with 2 JL w6v2 12's or 13's? Would this provide enough power to make the subs bump nicely?

Do most people using 1000 watt sub amps upgrade their alternators? Even when I was using my 600 watt soundstream amp i was chewing up stock alternators. I know it wasnt a wiring problem either. I dont want to get into problems with my new truck (ie lights dimming at red lights etc). Like i...

By the way, I am not NEW to car audio at all. I have been installing my own stereos since I was 16 years old. I have used products from Kicker, Soundstream, Orion, Image Dynamics, Alpine, and stinger in the past, but do not have experience with the newer stuff out today. I havent been able to...

Thanks for the advice guys. I will look into the Fosgate 360, however I have allready purchased the JL Clean Sweep. Its unopened so it could go back.... I am pretty stuck on those JL w6's, but for the mids and highs it looks like I have some research to do. I have always wanted to go with...

Do you have any recommendations for mids and highs? How about the zapco amps? Is there any online sites that show prices for them? MB Quart used to be a big name back in the day. how are they?

I have a very open mind when it comes to this. I loved my old system and it was a hodgpodge of components. I had kicker subs and and amps. Image Dynamic Compression drivers and mids. Ive had good luck in the past with orion and soundstream amps as well. I do not have a problem going non JL...

Hello all. I am new to the forum, but not that new to car audio. I have gone through a variety of systems in my previous cars. However I have been out of the loop for the past 2yrs or so. Im now back in though, and Im looking to do an install in my 2007 Tahoe. When I was younger I just wanted...
