<<<SPL Sub?>>>

Silver Member Username: Boston_splHighland, CA United States Post Number: 129 Registered: Nov-08 | Alright, I'm looking 4 a good SPL sub 2 put in a '97 Cadillac DeVille. (Want to retain somewhat decent SQ, but geared more toward SPL, not SQL, I'm willing to use as much trunk space as necessary) and I think I'm between; RE Audio SX18 AQ HDC318 Fi BL18 Question is, which is best 4 the money? As you can see I'm tryin' to keep it under $400 - $450 Suggestions not on this list are welcomed. Thanks. |

Silver Member Username: Boston_splHighland, CA United States Post Number: 132 Registered: Nov-08 | I'm currently using a Crossfire VR1000D I bought like 7yrs. ago (1000w @ 1ohm) that I'll be using at first but shortly thereafter I'm thinking of upgrading to an AQ2200D (which will be separate from the $400 for the sub). Also, should the stock 140A alt. be able to handle the potential output of a AQ2200D? (I realize I'll likely get serious light dimming at high volumes & I'll eventually upgrade, just wondering if it'll be alright at first or if when I get that amp I should plan on getting an alt. too). |

Silver Member Username: Boston_splHighland, CA United States Post Number: 133 Registered: Nov-08 | Gotcha. I'll get that alt. just 2 be safe. What amperage alt. should I be looking at, if say I run an AQ2200D with an AQ HDC318? I'd like some headroom with the alt. too. |

Silver Member Username: Kingandsons07TEAM NEBRASKA Lincoln,NE Post Number: 997 Registered: Aug-08 | 200-250 amp alt look at Ohio Gen and DB they have nothing but good rep! upgread your hood batt and add a batcap in the back maybe, run of 1/0 power wire, and Big 3 and you will be good |

Gold Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois Braaap MX Post Number: 2815 Registered: May-07 | "anything over 1,500 needs an HO alt! " I disagree with the word NEED, but a H.O. alt would be ideal with an upgraded battery under the hood for daily driving. was it nick v who ran a 3250 with stock ~90a alt with 2 batts daily? "upgrade your hood batt" is that like a hood rat with wings like a bat? "and add a batcap in the back maybe" why a batcap? would likely be useless with a h.o alt and good battery up front. |

Minus a conservative amount for normal electrical demand and you'll get in the ball park of the alt you'll need for your system. Never hurts to go bigger than needed so don't pinch your pennies there. Buying an alt is like buying real estate. Buy as much as you can afford for future growth/expansion.  |

Silver Member Username: Boston_splHighland, CA United States Post Number: 137 Registered: Nov-08 | I've been looking at a few different alternator web sites, and haven't really found one that sells an alt. for a '97 DeVille. Does that mean anything, or can most reputable places make me one regardless of whether or not the vehicle is listed on their site? |
|
Gold Member Username: Kingandsons07TEAM NEBRASKA Lincoln,NE Post Number: 1003 Registered: Aug-08 | call them Oho Gen 13308756677 and what pic lol |

Silver Member Username: Boston_splHighland, CA United States Post Number: 138 Registered: Nov-08 | Cool. Will do. Is a 300a alt. going overboard, in case I wanna add an additional amp in the future, or will that cost mega bucks (over $400-$500)? |

Platinum Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 10735 Registered: Jul-06 | 300 amp alternator would be great but you better watch the idle amperage on that... if they don't tell you that means it ain't good... |
