Two 1500's Or One 3k And What Extras Do I Need

[CrayonTasteGood]

So next month Ima buy my system and have everything hooked up. I have a guy that I pay to do this for me, So I need to buy everything and then take it to him. With that being said Im not to sure what extras I will need for this system build and I also dont know what will be cheaper and just better in general. So here we go, Right Now I got 2 15'' American Bass XFL's (2ohm idk if it matters) Im either going to buy

2 of these Audiopipe APCL-15001D (apcl15001d) 1500W Consumer Line Series

1 of these Audiopipe APCL-30001D (apcl30001d) 3000W Consumer Line Series

or 1 of these Hifonics BRX3016.1D (brx30161d) 3000W Monoblock Brutus Series

Im also going to buy this XS Power D3400 12-Volt Deep Cycle AGM Power Cell Battery

1.) Are two amps better than one?

2.) If I go with two amps what extra wiring will I need to buy

3.) What type of wiring and hardware will I need for this battery

4.) Would one big amp be better and if so should I go with the hifonics 3k or audiopipe 3k

I appreciate anyone who can help.

Well the xfls are a good choice but u will need power at 2ohms or run 1 bigger amp at .5ohm which i doubt since u have picked audiopoop amps .those amps are crappp scrap that idea and get a decent 3k for the xfls..also u will need more than just a single xs3400 to power a real 3k amp. Possibly a ho alt and additional battery

And there are many many batteries that cost half what xs does..not sure why u picked the cheapest amps to pair with the most expensive batt made

Like nasty said there are great batts for a lot cheaper out there. Also you will need more than just one batt to run that much power as already stated. I would try and pick up a nice 1500 to 2k amp instead and later down the road when you have better electrical and more money buy a second

Lol your opinion and input is very appreciated, And the ho alt will come in the future. But for now just need some bass to hold me over as Im addicted. Anyway are you saying that I cant buy one 3k amp and have it wired to 1ohm? UNLESS its a good enough amp to run at 0.5? Sorry if thats confusing but I truly know nothing about ohms and wiring. And I know about a few other battery companys but from what I found xs seemed to be the best and cheapest option for the amount of power im going to be running. And the xs will be my 2nd battery.

 

[CrayonTasteGood]

Any suggestion in the battery department? If I can find something thats equally as powerful as this battery for cheaper then im all over it.

You cant wire 2 dual 2ohm subs at 1ohm no matter what amp ..they can only be wired at 2ohm or .5ohm and yes it needs to be a solid amp to run at .5 or it will go poof..xs reels ppl in with the numbers they put out saying how many watts the battery can handle..while thats all fine and dandy..but u can go to sams club and get a battery thats twice as strong for 170bucks duracell agm

diehard platinum, duracell agm or some batteries that Boomsday, a member on here sells, are all good batt choices. For the price of one XS power, you can get two biggest sized agm of the other brand.

So what would I need to run at 1ohm? Or better yet if I got 2 1500's could I then run both the subs at 1ohm, or does that rule still apply?

So at $44 I will probably buy 3 of those, but can I put them in my trunk? And would my 130 amp alternator be fine to charge 4 batterys?

Mighty Max 4 Pack 12V 22AH SLA Battery for Diehard Platinum 1150 Jump Start | eBay that looks like a crazy good deal, would this work the same for me and could I hook this up in my trunk? If so I'm getting it

Go to SAMs club or Sears and buy a energizer or Duracell 31g battery for about $190 out the door. Wayyyy better
