LMAO which will be louder?

but wait i have actual details to give to compare

right now in my trunk (97 accord 4 door) i have my friends 2 JL 10w3v2's and his 500/1 hooked up. wired in series to 4 ohms i beleive. they're sealed in probably .75 cu ft each i'm guessing.

tommorow my eD 12A.22 comes and i have a 2.3 cu ft box, ported, tuned to 25 hz waiting for it. for right now i'll only be sending it 500 watts (either off a 500/1 or a brutus 1500D @ 4 ohms). just curious which one you think will be louder that i've given you a car, and specs for the systems

Why not run it at 1ohm? I had my JL 1000/1 running 1 ohm. The Brutus is a 1ohm amp as well.

my elec system can't really take 1500 watts right now

stock battery/alt

I will tell you this much, one of my brothers friends has two 10W3v2's ported and my 12A sealed smokes them in both SQ and SPL. With only 500W though it will be close, but the A should still have the advantage in SQ.

I have a stock electrical system and I run 2 1500w RMS amps and a 150w Rms amp...

my lights dim, but I cant get an alternator for a reasonable price for my van...

Just wire it to 1 ohm and shush

well i have what i think is an 85 amp alt. i'm already running a soundstream edge 4120. its class A/B so the max current draw is 50 amps (fuses are 2X25). i'm only using 2 channels off that right now. i have his 500/1 @ 4 ohms, and its all digital class d. so there isn't really a huge power strain on my elec system right now. but the max current draw on the brutus is 120 (fuses are 2X60) so at 1500 watts @ 1 ohm, i'm assuming its going to have quite a bit of current draw. i'm assuming 60 amps at the least? or am i wrong. basically, how can my elec system take that?

in a short time i'll be purchasing a yellow top and a 200 amp alt, so i w*on't have to worry about it anymore. but do you think it would be safe for my elec system to wire that thing at 1 ohm/1500 watts? and also would it be safe for the A to get 1500 watts? eD recommends no higher than 1000 in a ported enclosure, but i know you guys are sending more than that in ported enclosures. i suppose i'll wire it both ways and see how it goes. but if anyone wants to give some insight on how they think my elec system is going to do, and how the A is going to do with 1500 watts/1 ohm, it'd be appreciated.
