[QUOTE="MisterGrubbs, post: 6444118, member: 561929"] Meh, AQ amp isnt bad, pricing considered. I dont suggest you running it at .67 daily with minimal knowledge of what you're doing, much less with suggesting to run capacitors with no batteries nor alternator upgrades. If you want to run a larger amp or multiple decently sized amplifiers, YOU NEED an alternator and batteries to both supply and hold the voltage required for the amplifier(s) to produce the power. Point blank, simple, the end. Now. You wanted to do 12 10's sealed in 1^ft per woofer, right? That's, roughly, 12^ft. 8 15" woofers in 1.5^ft per chamber is well, 12^ft, roughly. Same airspace requirements. If you read up on those 15" woofers and find out, in fact, they enjoy a sealed enclosure around 1.5^ft per woofer, sounds like a great freaking idea to me. 8 of them on two AQ3500D's or similar amplifiers would make you smile, I'm sure. YOU NEED to upgrade your electrical first. Capacitors are essentially useless for what you want/need. Batteries and an alternator is what you want if you want to beat on it(once again, point blank). The Type S's are *decent* woofers, but the other woofers mentioned in this thread(The RSD's and from personal experience, the HFI is on que with it honestly) would make you just as happy reasonably cheaper [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] If you want to stick a *tad* closer to the 1k budget hey, buy 12 of the Hifonics 12's(be about 400 bucks shipped for all of them) and put the twelve of them on an AQ3500D.
