whats your budget?

What kind of vehicle do you have and what size is the stock alt?

 

[chrisf3421 10+ year member]

Its an 08 f150. and my budget for now with just the subs and the amp is like 1200-1500?

 

[Jh8909 10+ year member]

thats a decent budget to start out with. and the stock alt should be fine for now. especially on 1000 watts or so. if you do the big 3 up front and everything you will be fine. an a decent second batt. is this your first system ever?

 

[chrisf3421 10+ year member]

yeah it is. so id be fine getting the sundown amp i wanted with the two btls?

 

[Jh8909 10+ year member]

yeah for now I guess that would be fine. I have never ran them before so maybe someone else can give some insight on how they sound with low power. but one thing if this is your first system, don't go cheap on wire and never let anybody talk you into getting a capacitor

[Jh8909 10+ year member]
