Silver Member Username: CozceSt. Louis ILLsideU.S.A. Post Number: 395 Registered: Mar-08 | Based on what I've read (which is a lot). The Alpha v.2 |
|
Gold Member Username: JtownTexas Post Number: 3322 Registered: Mar-07 | two different subwoofers, the alpha will have more of a full sound, and hit the low lows a lot better. the hdc3 is more of a "peakier" subwoofer |

Gold Member Username: Hittin1Lake Charles, La. United States Post Number: 1755 Registered: May-07 | another note on the Alpha... It hits the higher Fq's VERY nicely... My 18's(tuned to 35 hz) hit the highs way better than my solo X's (tuned to 45 hz.). And still murders the lows.. |

New member Username: Stl_stylePost Number: 10 Registered: Nov-08 | I have a Dodge Charger R/T; should I go with 2 15's or 3 12's, Alpha V2 that is? I'm looking for great SQ of course, but also want the ability to shake the panels with Loud Low Freq, when I need to. I'm currently running 2 12W7, and frankly, I'm not impressed. |
|
Gold Member Username: BonhamdPost Number: 1518 Registered: Nov-07 | 2 15s ported are hard to fit in a trunk 3 12s ported would be hard to fit as well and would give you a funny ohm load what dont you like about the W7s? ported or sealed? what amp? do you have any electrical upgrades? |
|
Silver Member Username: CozceSt. Louis ILLsideU.S.A. Post Number: 398 Registered: Mar-08 | How much you looking to spend on an amp bud? Yeah, I'm over here in Fairview Heights, right around Belleville and East Saint. PS: 2 15's have more cone area than 3 12's and should be easier to get "loud". |
|
Bronze Member Username: Stl_stylePost Number: 12 Registered: Nov-08 | I just purchased to RD 1750.1 and looking to add 3 Alpha V.2 Hey Cozce you sure 2 15's have more cone are than 3 12's If you add the circumference I believe the 3 12's have more cone area. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Stl_stylePost Number: 13 Registered: Nov-08 | Daniel, I had a ZX1500.1 running the W7's and a 5 farad powercap, no electrical upgrades. the ZX was only 2 ohm stable and the W7's are 3 ohms a piece so when I wired them @ 1.5 it sent the amp in protective mode. The only other way I knew how to wire them was in series which put me @ 6 ohms and the W7's hit pretty hard, but was not setting any world records lol. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Stl_stylePost Number: 14 Registered: Nov-08 | Cozce I had about 1,200. I'm interested to know what amp you would recomend? What's your opinnion on the RD Amps? |
|
Gold Member Username: BonhamdPost Number: 1519 Registered: Nov-07 | that seems odd - after box rise it seems you would be above 2 ohms the RD 1750 is a nice amp, i just put in my 3250 last weekend the 1750 probably isnt enough for 3 12s - i would talk to scott s on the forum as he has 2 alphas off a fresh recone for sale the 2 15s would have slightly more cone area - but it is hard to fit 2 15s ported in a trunk area= pi x radius squared to figure the 12s would be - 6x6x3.14=113 113x3=339 2 15s would be - 7.5x7.5x3.14=176.6 176.6x2=353.2 the 15s would have slightly more cone area but difficult to fit with the correct box size and port area 2 alpha 12s wired down to .5 ohms would be loud |
|
Gold Member Username: BonhamdPost Number: 1520 Registered: Nov-07 | you just have to have the electrical to back it up |
|
Bronze Member Username: Stl_stylePost Number: 15 Registered: Nov-08 | How do you like the 3250? I was going to run 2 1750's on the 3 alpha's. So I should go with 2 15's instead? I have a 160 amp altenator How many batteries do you think I would need to run both 1750's? |
|
Gold Member Username: BonhamdPost Number: 1522 Registered: Nov-07 | i really like the 3250, just cant turn it up all the way yet because i still have to put some batteries in the trunk either way its going to be tough to fit 3 12s or 2 15s in a trunk in the proper enclosure - along with room for your extra batteries and amps im not very good with battery selection...look in to kinetik, oddysee, powermaster, optima get the biggest you can fit up front and a big one for the trunk - that would be a good start, then just watch your voltage and add more batteries if need be i would go with 2 12s if i were you though |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 9015 Registered: Jul-06 | Both companies make very good amps and subs |
|
Gold Member Username: Talon01Team Revolution , Pa Usa Post Number: 1816 Registered: Jun-07 | both companys make good products. the alpha would be a better choice for low end. yes i have some alpha's yet i could also sell him a 3250. that would be a good combo. you will need some elec. upgrades to run that much power daily. |

Bronze Member Username: Stl_stylePost Number: 16 Registered: Nov-08 | Scott, how much for the 2 alpha's and the 3250? |

Gold Member Username: Skibum12189Cleveland Post Number: 3018 Registered: Mar-06 | does anyone know what ohm load you get wiring 2 single 3 ohm subs together? I assume it's a little goofy. granted, you're getting around 16-1700rms at 2 ohms with the kicker because that's a strong amp, but if you're running at 4 ohms or somthing, then each sub is only getting 400 rms. but idk what ohm load you're seeing. my buddy had a 500/1 on a 12w7 HO box in his rsx and it killllllllled. granted it was a tiny rsx but it slammed close to as hard if not harder than my tc3k 15 on 1700 rms |

Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 10971 Registered: Jun-04 | "does anyone know what ohm load you get wiring 2 single 3 ohm subs together?" 1.5 ohms or 6 ohms |
|
Bronze Member Username: Stl_stylePost Number: 17 Registered: Nov-08 | Cal, I think I just wasn't supplying the Kicker with enough power. I was afraid of keeping it wired at 1.5 ohms because of some messages I read in different forums, saying "it wouldn't last long" + it was going into protect. I sold it 2 days ago for 300.00 wish I had talked to you first. Should have bought a battery d@mn! Is the RD 1750.1 Stronger than the Kicker ZX 1500.1? |

Bronze Member Username: Stl_stylePost Number: 18 Registered: Nov-08 | Sean when I wired them in series I believe it was 6 ohms. When I wired them together ++ -- I suspect it was 1.5 right? New at this stuff Bra. |

Silver Member Username: KingtutusLincoln, Nebraska U.s.a Post Number: 492 Registered: Dec-07 | 1750.1 is putting out 1700+ watts @1 ohm. unless u got the new 1750.1 witch is putting out 2100+ watts @ 1 ohm. also look in to the sonance they can be put in a sealed in box and still be loud. i about to be running 2 18" sonance on 2 1750 @ 2 ohms and they get low. sonance ftw |
|
Bronze Member Username: Stl_stylePost Number: 19 Registered: Nov-08 | KT they have a new 1750.1 that is putting out 2100 @ 1 ohm? It's not on their website. how did you find out about it? I just got both 1750's today. |
