I'm looking at buying a Sundown ZV5 15 but I'm having trouble finding an amplifier to go with it. I've seen videos ect of people feeding them a fair thousand watts more than their RMS rating. Im fairly new to car audio as I was more into home audio. But I have a few questions. If anyone can recommend another subwoofer that they feel may be better around the same price mark or lower, that would be nice //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
I looked on Sundown's website at is says it must be installed to a small ported enclosure due to the mechanical motor, but could someone explain why to me? This one is quite important!
What's the best way to calculate amperage required for an amplifier as the amp draw is different for every amp. I looked at 2000Watt amp dyno test on youtube and it was 2100 watts @ 1ohm, I was thinking of just buying a 350a alternator and hoping it doesn't dim my headlights.
Can anyone also recomend an amplfiier to go with the ZV15, I don't really wish to spend TOO much money on an amplifier, I found an Audiopipe APMI-2000 which are less than 200USD and the dyno tests are around 2100watts.
Also would it be easier just to throw another battery and alternator into the boot rather than wire it all through?
Also does anyone know where I can find decent alternators in the UK? Preferably universal ones so I can change it for when I buy a new car in the future.
There were some more questions but my mind has just gone blank but I'll probably post them in the replies.
Thank-you!
