  1. One that's four times the RMS power of one sub @ 2 ohms.

    Email me for a wiring diagram if you need it.

    Side note:

    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 1 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.datafilehost.com/download.php...

    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.


  2. Your Subs Are 400 Rms A Piece So You Will Need A 1600 Rms Amp. Here A Mono Amp That Will Fully Power Your Subs.Its A Hifonics BXi 1608D & Its 1600 Rms @ 1 Ohm!

    WOW!!! July 11, 2008

    This amp is a beast i got it hooked up to 2 kicker cvr 12's hooked up at 2 ohms and i get hearing loss every time i play it. I also did a hifonics and kicker experiment. i hooked up 4 cvrs 12's on this brutus amp and wow!!!!!!! i heard it from 6 blocks away. just make sure u have 0 gauge wiring and lots of dynamat xtreme.
