set-up plans, what you think?

I am ordering 3 directed 1100d's. 2 directed 500/2's, and three type r 12's. I got new type r components (my old ones blew), and got type r coax in the back,putting in the clarion 1/2 din center channel and jensen vm9510 indash dvd as well. going to put a 500/2 on both the front and back speakers. going to put one 1100d on each type r 12" at 1 ohm also. each sub will have ~2 cubes tuned to low 30's. going to run 0 gauge or possible two runs of 0 gauge and do big 3 with 0 gauge also. If i could provide enough power to run at 14.4, these amps should give me 3300+ watts rms to my subs, but since i don't have a new alt. i probably wont get near this. All this is going into my 02 honda civic sedan. i hoping to break a 150 on a local shops meter, i don't know what kind it really is though.

i hope you have an upgrade electrical system, or youre going to have a huge drain on your battery. why did you pick the alpine type r components again if you blew the first ones? with all the money you spent you could have gotten a much better front stage

i will put in a optima yellow top probably, and why the compnents?,i want all alpine type r for some reason

i wouldnt run 3 1100d's. you can get just as much power from another single amp. but thats just me. but i would strongly reccommend an alternator and a few batteries or else this is all a waste.

i agree you need a bigger alt. and maybe a second battery or you will not get all the power you are wanting to get

Yeah All of that shit is pretty much useless with out a really good Electrical system. and a yellow top wont help you at all unless you get a new alt. With a civic im betting you have a 70 amp alt...to run all of that you are going to need a 200-250 amp alt.

i want the 5 amps for show purposes,but i could get the 2500d, but not as much power and with running three subs, i can get 1 ohm on each of my amps, and i am going to put in a yellow top, new alt maybe later on.

i am not planning on getting the full 3300 rms out of them,600-800 from each will suffice for now

i got the 75 amp alt. i think

better watch out for dangerous voltage drop. electrical components (hint: amps)dont like that. and the brushes in the stock alternator will cook with the current draw you will have.

the best thing to do is upgrade your electrical system now.

a single Orion 2500 or Viper 2500 or Directed 2500 would be MORE than enough power for those three subs, trust me

1100w to each of them is going to give you hell brother

if 1100watts blows them, they are only $110 bucks a piece. i am also going to set the gains below maximum power. when my alt. dies on me, i will get the 180 ho. alt.
