Hifonics BXI2008D on 4 Gauge ???
|
Bronze Member Username: Type94Kitchener , Ontario Canada Post Number: 68 Registered: May-08 | So i just bought a Hifonics BXI2008D amp and i need to know if my 4 gauge stinger wiring will do good . I have a 1999 E39 120 Amp Alternator and im about to add a new battery soon. This guy at the car audio said that it wont be a problem for my electrical because my alternator is giving 14.4 volts , that time i had a Crunch GP2500D at 1250 RMS. He showed me using the volt meter and back then i had a old battery. Now i want to know that im using this amp for 2 Kicker L7 12's and im going to be wiring them down to 1 ohm . Custom Ported Enclosure i dont know what frequency i should get it tuned to and the guy is charging me 400$ for the box that's the best deal i could find around my area. Now i asked him if he can tune the box to 36 hertz and he said where did u get that number from ??? So i dont know what to tell him or how man hertz should he tune it to. By the way is this setup good ? and what about the fuse's on the amp there aren't any ??? My trunk is not that big by the way the car looks big but the trunk is not that big. I also got a hole cut in the middle because of the Heatsink and its abot 1 feet Long and 6" Wide , thats the most i could do. lol Any help will be appreciated ! |

Kicker's specs indicate 42 or so. If you went closer to their recommendation I think you'd have a lot of boomyness (if that's a word) in the 40's, but you would roll off quick in the 30's. If you want to be loud use their design. If you're willing to sacrifice a little SPL for more consistency across the sub spectrum 36 is probably about right. |

Bronze Member Username: Type94Kitchener , Ontario Canada Post Number: 69 Registered: May-08 | Yea u guys are right , i was saying the same thing in my head about the wires. Another thing is that will my amp be good on my stock 120 amp alt ? And what about the fuses on this Hifonics amp ? I asked this one guy he said his 0 gauge wire is 8 Bucks a foot and i dont need a power kit because my battery is in the trunk, is he right ??? |

Or you can get 0 gauge here 1.75/ft http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KLMX0BL If the battery is in back you just need enough wire to run power and ground from battery to amp. But you still need RCAs and remote wire. |

Bronze Member Username: Type94Kitchener , Ontario Canada Post Number: 70 Registered: May-08 | See the problem is i need the wires before Friday night. Now if u tell me how much they really cost then i can negotiate with him. If not then ill call and ask some other places. And i was thinking if i can use the rca's and remote from my old 4 G wiring ? |

Gold Member Username: N2audioLawrence, Ks USA Post Number: 1684 Registered: Mar-04 | that $1.75 stuff is actually cheating a little bit because it's made up mostly of Aluminum which makes it quite a bit cheaper than the standard copper stuff. To compare copper to copper Knu is $2.99 for clear PVC or $3.40 if you want the black, blue, or red Fleks cable. |

Mad crazy jumping out the window prices but my last length of 2ga was given away recently. Few bucks over shipping really. I'm all out of 2ga. |
