Final Decision
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 6564 Registered: Jul-06 | ive decided i want an RL-p....final decision basically unless something huge comes into mind within the next 2 weeks or so....couple questions for you guys.... A) 12" sealed, 12" ported, 15" sealed, 15" ported? which would you do for this sub and why? if i do port it, im gonna tune it pretty low, about 28hz or so. B)Amp suggestions.....need them this is a quick list i threw together....sub recommends 500-1k for daily Rockford Fosgate T5001BD http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=5675 JBL BPX500.1 http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=3121 Kicker 04SX650.1 http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=288 Kicker zx750.1 http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=3788 Mmats D1100.1 http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=4425 Memphis 16-MCD500 (underrated??) http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=2615 Crossfire VR600D http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=177 as you can tell, im looking for anywhere from 600-900rms.... PS, im sure some of you are sitting there thinking to yourself, i thought yanks was gonna do a spl system with 2k or 4k....that plan fell through when i found out that no one makes alts for scion tcs and if they do its about $700 for a 250A alt so i threw those plans out the window....hoping ill get a new car in the summer but thats for a different day and time lol PPS, the reason for the decision is also based on the fact that SS has superb customer service so far with me..... |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 6567 Registered: Jul-06 | thanks....i had a feeling the 15" ported would be the common vote lol |

Gold Member Username: Skibum12189Cleveland Post Number: 1910 Registered: Mar-06 | i'd go two rl-i 10's on a nine.1 but that's because i like sq! sorry to not help.... 15" ported if you're going for a little more spl than the ssd... but in all seriousness yanks...you can run alot of power on a stock alt if you have really nice efficient amps....what's the output on your alternator?? if it's like 125-150, you could run a zx1500 and a zx350.2 no problem....for the record, thats like 1700 rms of bass alone... |

Gold Member Username: AdddisorderPalm Beach, Florida Post Number: 5357 Registered: Jan-06 | 150amps from the sub amp, + about 50 for the car 200 amps on a 125 amp alt you do the math, but he drives a small import, he has small case alt that is proably putting out 80a max. |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 6571 Registered: Jul-06 | eh, i dunno cal. i dont wanna push anything. i think ill be perfectly happy with ~800rms....mainly looking for badass lows my alt is 100A or 105A |

Silver Member Username: JtownATX, Texas Post Number: 554 Registered: Mar-07 | don't you absolutely need an extra batt for those mmats? |
|
Gold Member Username: AdddisorderPalm Beach, Florida Post Number: 5358 Registered: Jan-06 | wow it is 100 not bad but not alot for 1.5k or whatever |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 6572 Registered: Jul-06 | "don't you absolutely need an extra batt for those mmats?" explain.... |

Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sMoney man, blowin Post Number: 2972 Registered: Feb-06 | rl-p ftl... i mean it's not fantastic spl and the sq is good, but there are drivers that get louder and sounds better i think he means that mmats are very power hungry amps... they have ALOT of current draw. i would think you would be okay... |

Silver Member Username: Kyle_lowePost Number: 519 Registered: Apr-06 | get a nine.1 it is cheaper than some of those amps listed above 900 at 2ohms or if ya like that sub can handle the nine.1 at 1 ohm |
|
Silver Member Username: JtownATX, Texas Post Number: 555 Registered: Mar-07 | I was under the impression that one needed an extra batt besides the one under the hood to power those mmats amps. |
|
Gold Member Username: Skibum12189Cleveland Post Number: 1912 Registered: Mar-06 | yea 100 is a little low....i had a zx1500 and a zx350 on my stock 124 and my voltage never dropped below 12 ever even while bumpin hard as hell... |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 6574 Registered: Jul-06 | well.....brad may have got to me....different route maybe damn this decision |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 3520 Registered: Jul-06 | In my experience with ~100 amp alts, 1000 watts is going to be about the max |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 6576 Registered: Jul-06 | thats what im thinking MS....i dont wanna try and stretch things....besides i think 1k will be perfectly fine for me daily.... |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 6577 Registered: Jul-06 | heres a question, lets say i have $5k in my savings accout....and not much in my checking account....can i transfer over say $500 to my checking account without my parents finding out? besides showing up on the monthly statement, which they give me instead of opening it up themselves....they dont have to sign off or anything like that right? since im 18 now? |

Gold Member Username: Loc_outSanta Ana, Ca Resonant Eng... Post Number: 1306 Registered: Feb-05 | Yanks i just bought a mmats amp not to long ago. No you dont need an extra batt and those amps are not power hungry. I would have to say it draws less current than my old PPI amp. I have a stock alt and i have no problem. Ask Chad i think my sub gets loud. They are really small amps. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 3524 Registered: Jul-06 | Look at your bank statement. If your parents names are on it, only they can withdraw money even though your 18 now. You have to get a new account under your name and get them to transfer the money. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 6579 Registered: Jul-06 | just went to the bank to transfer $1k....lady says i must have my parents with me to do it....so im screwed....gotta convince my parents to let me spend some of my graduation money now  |
