[QUOTE="drkodin, post: 100541, member: 545032"] answering the pm... you will, beyond a doubt, need a deep cycle batt. also, to run that setup to its fullest potential you will need a new alt, probably one around 150amps or higher(at idle). all wiring is already at 4awg (yeah bmw) so no worries there. there will be serious dimming if you bump it hard, but i think you will be ok for the time being. i run only 500W to my subs and i am pretty happy with the output. so i think if you want to add a 1Farad cap (rule is 1farad per 1000W but you dont have the electrical system to do a 2 farad) then it will help with big bass hits. you can install it all and run it no problem, but you just can't max everything out until you get a new alt. i think you will be happy. if you get the setup you talked about, then you have all the right components for an amazing system. however, you can't use it all due to power issues. personally i think this is the best posistion to be in. most of us like to upgrade to bigger and louder things. all you will need to do to upgrade is buy a new alt, rather than a whole new setup. i think the W7 will be better in a SQL setup than the brahma, but that is forgetting about the cost. the real question is, is it $400 per sub better? for a man on a budget, i think not. hope this helped.
