Help! car audio question
I'm just getting into setting up some audio in my car. I don't know a whole lot just yet, but i'm learning. I already have a Pioneer deck. MOSFET 50X4. I was looking at a......Visonik Amplifier
500 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms 700 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms 1300 watts RMS x 1 bridged output at 4 ohms stereo or bridged mono output 4-ohm stable in bridged mode Tri-Way capable requires 4-gauge power and ground leads plus a 150-amp fuse and fuse holder — wiring and hardware not included with amplifier variable 35-250 Hz low-pass and high-pass crossovers, 12 dB/octave variable bass boost (0-12 dB) variable phase control (0° to 180°) preamp- and speaker-level inputs preamp outputs cooling fan wired remote control 19-1/2"W x 3-3/16"H x 11-11/16"D 2-year warranty Then I am thing about buying 2 12's off a friend. They are Audiobahn Subs. On the font of the box they are in says 800w. The question that is bothering me is, Getting the amp and the subs the right thing? Any help will be thanked.

How much is the amp? It looks like a Class A/B amp. Which is more of a strain on our electrical system than a Class D amp.
The specs look alright, just make sure your sub will be compatible impedance wise to get the most out of the amp. (basically that leaves you with getting either 2 svc 2ohm subs or 2 dvc 4 ohm subs) Also look at Ultamate Digitalis 1300... It is a good amp also that is very inexpensive.

those fuses only blow when twice the rated current goes through them... I dunno my MTX 500D had a 75 amp fuse and could put out near 1K in power (got it rated at some 900 watts)... And my 225R puts out 800 watts of power at 15V @ 1 Ohm, all on 2 30 amp fuses...
The fact that the name is Visonik (Which I could have sworn was a susidiary of Audiobahn) is the part that is causing concern. No one say's anything about the BD1500's 150 amp fuse requirement.

But yup. If you look at MTX's lineup this year they actually name the amps more accurately. the 6500 is now the 801. The name of the amps mirrors the power output... Orion (now DEI) has dropped the HCCA line... I personally think that was a mistake but what do I know...

I would worry more about your alternator and your battery than i would your subs... the subs are cheaper to replace than the alt and or battery is.
