sound quality subs that pound.

hi, i decided for my current car that my system is fine and since i will be getting a scion tc in like 6-8 months i might as well start looking for a system for it.

ok i was looking at these 3.

either a Jl audio 2 12w7 or a 2 13w7

2 Re audio se12

or 1 Re audio 15" xxx

now this is for a dialy driver the biggest alternator i can find for it is 300 amps so i can give it decent power without having to worry to much if the battery is getting charged.

dang, you never stop thinking of new systems ........

[PlayStation3]

yea i noticed. lol

[PaulD]

have you considered the stereo integrity Mag 12 or 15 D2 ?

[PlayStation3]

i will take a peap at them

You do know that the new XXX has a mounting depth of 13", and needs a huge enclosure. That would be alot in a tc. An SX would probably be loud enough in a coupe. Or something of equal potential.

a 2.5cuft box is only 17x17x15 w/slot fits perfectly in a tc (35cuft cargo area)

i got one 13w7 in an accord and one more at jl getting re-coned, i'll show it when it gets back...

the only way your going to need 300amps is if your pushing 4000 watts
and trying to hold it steady like pushing a test-tone for a couple of seconds at a competition.

to get 2000 steady or dynamic watts out of any capable amp using 12-14v, all you need
is a 2 farad cap and something in the range of 150amps from your alt/battery

75 amps will easily do the trick and get you 1000 watts

i would still get the 300 amp for 3 reasons room to grow. it should in theory last longer because of the heat from not doing it max and because i can either get a 185 amp one for a 300 amp. those are the only 2 available and btw i think i am going to go with the 2 13w7 and possiablity of using 2 alpine pdx1 1000 to power it because of the way the voice coils are. (dvc 1.5 ohm)

that's a kick-ass way of thinking, (future proof)...
but at the same time, (fyi), you can run an alt at rated power for 100,000 miles

but anyway i got the same setup, except the amps...the slash series is where it's at, and for the same price

that's what higher power nets you, you have have better transients
