Xstatic BatCap Model 2000 - 2000 Amp Battery! | eBay

yes it should but u never want to put ur amp gain all the way up, thats how u get distortion, that swhy u always get a lil bigger amp then what the sub recommends imho

expensive battery :S

and hmm so if i bought a 2000 watt amp i could set it to 1000? how would i know its 1000 :S i don't have any meters etc

find someone with a ddm and then have them set the gain for you. Probably can be done at a car audio shop.

in theory but you wont find a 2000 watt amp in your current budget

this is an amazing 2k amp on budget, but id just run it at 2ohm and if u upgrade later to 1ohm setup u will need alternator also

and you will have to go to 0 guage on install

i wouldnt really worry 2 much, with imp rise and id never go over 3/4 on the gain of the amp and never use bass boost lol. u need an osci to be really accurate 2 find distortion. power doesnt kill subs, heat does and its usually from dirty power

3/4 of 1500 = 1125 watts, sounds good enough to me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

should i get the quart 1500? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

gain position does not directly relate to power output, my gain is at 1/4 and it does well over rated power.

 

[murph 10+ year member]

gain position has to do with headunit pre-out voltage...

 

[Tek18 10+ year member]

i will settle for 1500 and turn the amp down. Any suggestions? Quart 1500

i know that but he is not going to have a high output voltage system. the purpose of gain is to match it to the head unit, thats understood

what subs? 300rms will not blow subs rated at 600each. I used to run 1700rms to a type r 10''

getting a single FI SSD 15" , says its rated 1000 RMS , but i hear 1200 is where you should settle on it.
