Ok people what amp should i get for my alpine type x???

Question

I am not too sure what one i should get, should i get 2 kenwood excelon kac-x1r (1200rms at 2ohms), 2 kicker zx1000.1 (1000rms at 2ohms) or 1 rockford fosgate t20001bd (2000rms at 1ohm)?????

I want to know which one is the clearest and the loudest or flat out just the loudest lol can anyone help?????

Answer 1

i would go with kicker or rockford fosgate  

Answer 2

I would go for alpines pdx 1.000 series and run 2 of them if you want that system to bump with clarity and brute force.  it will work out great if you wire it correctly according to the ohms

1000 watts rms for each sub and 1000 watts coming from each amp.  watch the drain on your electrical system in the car.  you might need to upgrade the big 3 with 2000 watts running through them subs.  mabye a capacitor also

Answer 3

2000 watts RMS @ 1 ohm

That's the least of your worries.....

If your total system power is 1200 watts RMS or more,  you will need to:

1. Upgrade the alternator to a high output alternator

2. Upgrade to a heavy duty deep cycle battery

3. Upgrade the "Big 3" - that is to replace (or add to) the power wire between the battery and alternator, the ground from the battery to the chassis and the ground strap from the engine/tranny to the chassis with at least 2 AWG wire.

Failure to do this will result in the early death of the alternator  as it will eventually fail.

Here is a guide that will calculate what size alternator and power wires you need  http://www.box.net/shared/uchv4dbk88

You will need Microsoft Excel. If you don't have Excel, use this link http://www.box.net/shared/nkkw1dhk4g

A second battery is never a good idea as it's an added strain on the alternator to charge two batteries AND supply power for the car. The ONLY time a second battery is useful is if the audio system is to be used with the car off.

A capacitor is only good so far as the audio system isn't trying to pull too much from the electrical system. A cap doesn't provide more power, it's designed to 'stiffen' the voltage to the amp, nothing else. If the current isn't there, a cap won't help.

The alternator must have at least 20% more amperage power than the entire vehicle and sound system combined for a cap to be of benefit which is ironically the same requirements for an amp to be efficient.
