Posts: 59 I know you can't capture bass on camera, but if you look at the vibration you can tell that sub setup is rocking the hell outta that car space... thats what i was saying, most small time setups dont hit 140dB, 140dB is a BIG deal... I would be happy to hit that at $1000 spending limit...
As far as
eBAY there is nothing wrong with that persons factory warranty, it may not be from alpine themselves but the money you save you could just buy a new one... but thats not the point, the point is you save $100's of dollars not having to buy from alpine or a store due to stocking fee's etc, you're buying from the factory, the name of the seller is irrelavent since the seller is the factory.
Take note Topic Creator, your system will sound much better than that video due to cameras not picking up bass notes well, I was just showing you it so you could get an idea of what yours will end up like.
I agree with memphis but I also disagree, there is NOTHING wrong with Power Acoustik, for the price you won't find any better... reqaurdless if these subs can exceed their RMS is irrelavent since he will be running them at RMS, thats the point. As far as stressing cars, I've seen many people including myself run 1500RMS through a car and be fine... I think the maximum for a car is 1500-2000RMS but 2000RMS is really really pushing it... , if he gets a capacitor and a battery or upgrades his altenator and does the big 3 he will be fine...
If he had an SUV 2000RMS would be the max I would suggest as well... I don't think the BL's are a bad choice... I think him cheaping out for SSD's or Q's would be a big mestake... That amp will run fine, and if he really wants to put another $100 into an amp he can easily afford the hifonics 1800RMS (which will underpower the 15's but only by about 400RMS tops which isn't anything vital.) Honestly, stick with the build I sent you...
The sub box is important but if you don't know how to build don't bother... Also you want about 6-8 cubic ft box for 2 15's with that power. Honestly, don't cheap out on the amp no.... but I also wouldnt cheap out on the subs. If you want to save time and money sure go with two Q's and get a better amp as suggested, but honestly the BL route seems more fit for SPL.
