Starting a new build soon.... feedback wanted

[Saint211 10+ year member]

So Im doing a new build soon, Ive started purchasing the wiring and stuff. I will be piecing it together over the next couple months.

The plan is to eventually have 2 15's, each with approx 2kwrms, and up to 1krms to the highs/mids... which, may end up being all infinity due to me being able to get their stuff cheap.

This is in a small sedan... eventual 250 A alternator.... will be one HC 1400 and two HC1800 in the back... also looking into powermaster though, but kinetik is much easier for me to get locally.

I've ditched the 4/0 cable idea in favor of multiple runs of 1/0. The 2 500A fuses, and assorted lugs would have ended up costing the same, but has less available accesories

Im gonna go with 3 runs of 1/0 to the battery bank, where I will make some buss bars. Im going to try grounding to the chassis/frame first, if im not happy with the results I will add runs to the front. The 3 runs should provide more than enough juice for the ~ 500-550 PEAK amps the components are fused at... and hopefully cut down the voltage drop too.

The plans are to go with Hifonics BXI2008s for the amps.... each to their own yet undetermined 2 ohm DVC 15" subwoofer.

I can most likely fit 2.5- 3.5 cubes per sub( I could fit a lot more but I want the subs to be optimally placed, and my trunk is not even close to symmetrical) and make it all work, but now I'm not really sure with the added bat bank.... so I had previous notions of what the setup would look like finished, but it will likely change during the build.

Goals:

Hit at least CLOSE to 150

Have a strong enough electrical setup

Have a good enough front stage/highs setup to match the bass(need to do more digging before I make anymorep lans on this though)

150.. is it possible?

Does the provided electrical setup sound good enough for 4.5-5krms?

2 AQ HDC3 15's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

and forget the Hifonics, get AQ 2200's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I'm planning on doing the same and hopefully break the 150db mark.

Yeah I've looked into audioque and sundown... good looking stuff indeed.

But since I already have a bxi2008 chillin I figured I'd go with one more... save a little cash for the all new battery setup... I figure itll be fairly close to 2k a sub as long as I can keep my voltage high... Itll definitely idle at 14.5 or so... or atleast thats as high as my voltmeter will read... but I'm curious to see what itll drop to with heavy play with the whole setup. Thats why I'm trying one amp and sub first.. before I put it all in... im basically going to wire up the whole setup, but only put half in for a little bit to test how things go.

Still open to suggestions on new amps and/or subs though.

good luck on 150 man
