Don't forget a good deep cycle dry cell batt under the hood plus the "big 3". http://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp~TID~73496~PN~1 |

Gold Member Username: Hittin1Lake Charles, La. United States Post Number: 1778 Registered: May-07 | much better than stock... depending on amp will will klikely have a lil voltage drop, but you can easily get but with a 160 amp. look into aq2200 amp. or see if Steve miller still has a rd1750.1 left that he will give you a good deal on... both would slam those subs. if you get the rd 1750.1 consider running it @ .5 ohm.. Would need D2 v.c's If you go with the AQ2200 get d4 v.c.'s audioque.com Dont forget about the "big 3" and a good audio series batt. Hope this helps |

Gold Member Username: Hittin1Lake Charles, La. United States Post Number: 1782 Registered: May-07 | you would only need an isolator if you are running multiple batt's and plan on playong your system a lot w/ engine cut off. IMO u wont need it. |

Gold Member Username: BonhamdPost Number: 1521 Registered: Nov-07 | kinetik batteries are great but a few other batts to look in to would be powermaster optima oddysee and a few more im sure the one thing about the W7s is that they come in a wierd VC configuration you could wire 2 dual 1.5 VCs down to .375 or wire them at 1.5 i think that a kicker zx2500 would be a good choice for 13 W7s i put in a mechman alty last weekend and its great - i still have to post some pics and what not after i clean up some wiring talk to matt young at mechman - he will give you some good options on alternators and batteries |
