1500 RMS too much?

[SPL140.2 5,000+ posts]

their not THAT overrated like audiobahn tho
that bx1500 will prob make 1300rms actual watts ease and 1500rms with a good electrical system

I agree with monjo. I only have a 83 amp alternator and I had 2 of them off of it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Itll pound the xxx //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

make the best of it. when you get some more $$ move up in your sub class (DVC's) and just get 1 more BX1500 and run them bridged to 1 sub each. ( It sucks when you buy somthing and it's not what you thought it was)

To the original poster, 4 gauge is just fine.

ive read the bx1500d runs at 1380 watts rms at one ohm, and im in the same boat as you, i have a stock 1989 t-bird alt that runs at who knows what, the lights dim a bunch with an audiobahn 800 watt rms amp, and 4 gauge wire, im gonna get some 1/0 wire soon, maybe order some this week, im only going to put the gain up like a lil over half, its gonna run one 05 type r for now

Actually... most of the wires under my hood look about the same size as my 4gauge wire... Except for the battery ground which is like 8. Thanks for all the help people, I'll be upgrading soon.

I dont know what you are talking about saying the kicker kx 1200.1 is not a good amp. Thats just unbelievable, a Kicker Kx 1200.1 is about $800 new, not $300, its not some cheap *** amp. I wouldnt even rank it in the same category as Hifonics.

And there is NO way you were running 3000 watts on a stock alt, even if the stock alt was 150amps. Let alone 83? With 3000watts you are looking at around 200-250 amps at full RMS, let alone any other electrical function fro...you know what I give up...im dissapointed :-/

when I say you, I am referring to a couple different people who probably know who they are, I dont remember Login Names.
