Gold Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 8340 Registered: Dec-03 | for $200 you could pick up a hifonics brutus 1500 amp I believe. that'd be all you need for those subs the amp is 1 ohm stable as well |
Bronze Member Username: SoltexPost Number: 11 Registered: Jul-05 | OK thanks. I will go with that. Also what kind of capacitor would i need any good ones you recommend, and would 8gaug AMP wiring kit work. |
Gold Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 8369 Registered: Dec-03 | you'll need at least 4AWG, and capacitors aren't going to do anything for you. |
Silver Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 510 Registered: Apr-05 | No, you need a 4-gauge kit atleast, for sure. A cap won't do much for you, don't waste your money. With a system pulling that much power, you are possibly going to need a High Output Alternator. |
Bronze Member Username: SoltexPost Number: 12 Registered: Jul-05 | Ohhh damm screw that. I dont wana spend any more money. Well tell me a amp that wont need a goddamm alternater. Very low on budget. Just want a decent sound system. Dont wana be changing no alternater and stuff. I bought these subs for 50 bucks and thought i could put a good system. |
Silver Member Username: Iowahawks19Post Number: 311 Registered: Jun-05 | just get that hifonics, it's your best possible bet without stiking lucky on a nice used amp... set it all up and see how it goes, a cap isn't gonna do anything like both isaac and glass said, and if you need a new alternator down the road, so be it |
Bronze Member Username: SoltexPost Number: 13 Registered: Jul-05 | So your saying that i wont need a capacitor. I drive a 1995 Montero Sports. I mean i can buy a lower wattage amp. It would still power the subs. |
Silver Member Username: JaackdethUnited States Post Number: 234 Registered: Sep-04 | INAM, I have a Hifonics brutus 1500 I am selling on ebay next week, if you want it I'm selling in without the bass cord, I have the bass remote for it, but the wire got misplaced. The amp itself works just fine, and I'm not asking alot for it. Probally around $140 without shipping, you will not find one for that I don't think! You can email me at jaackdeth@yahoo.com if interested. |
Bronze Member Username: SoltexPost Number: 14 Registered: Jul-05 | Why are you selling the amp, something wrong with it. Also did your car need another alternater. Or did it just work fine. |
