Greetings,
I'm putting together a system for my daily commuter. I'm looking for SPL without sacrificing SQ to get it. I'm not wanting a single note queen, but I like to feel it.
Right now I am limited by my alternator choices for this vehicle (without spending tons of money on a custom alt). The factory alt was 90 amps and I now have a 165 amp unit.
The plan:
Focal Access 165 A3 for the front stage powered by ???
Two DC Audio LVL4 12's sealed in 1.5 ft^3 each at 1 ohm powered by Soundstream RUB1.1600D
Fairly simple, really. Looking for opinions on the plan. Other amps I've considered:
Audiopipe 15001D
Soundstream REF1.1000
AudioQ AQ1200D
AFAIK, nobody in my area runs quality shit. Power Acoustik and CVRs for example. I see guys with 5000 watts (advertised) and four cheap 12's running on 90 amp alts and the factory battery. I know that you all don't know what my abilities are as far as installation, box building, etc., but I'm looking for opinions on:
What can I expect from the components I've selected?
Will these compnonets work together or are there better choices for my goals?
Am I wasting money on anything (is there better quality for similar prices)?
Wired properly, will I have any problems on a 165 amp alt?
