Well right now I'm rocking with (3) 8" Kicker L5 in a ported box. Its being powered by 1 audiobahn A8000T but I have 2 of those amps but only one is being used right now. Now I'm not a complete noob I kno about Fi,DD,MMatts,audio que etc etc. But I want two 12" or 3 12" subs to be powered by those 2 amps I listed above I'm not upgrading my electrical system so save the spiel (sp) I kno if it blows then ill get a HO alt but yea depending on how much I get for those kickers on ebay I'm saying around 200 I'm willing 2 spend up to 500 dollars for the 12" subs two or three with a box. Thts if I get the 200 for my kickers on ebay. What do you guys reccomend I was kinda looking for something more mainstream but not type r's I want something I can get a deal on ebay or something. My car is a 05 toyota camry I want a SQL setup get back to me guys ill post my tv question in another post because this one is getting to long. |

You're going to blow sh1t up running 1.6K RMS on a stock charging system.Get an alt now and worry about subs later.Be smart and save yourself money in the long run,get a high output alternator. |

I didit b4 no problems I have a cap I kno they don't do much but its better than nothing the reason I'm acting like the alt doesn't matter is bcuz I have a bumper to bumper wanrranty everything is covered so when if it blows then ill get that... plus he wanted like 600 for 1 plus another 500 for install.} |

I bet they won't cover your alternator.You can install an alternator yourself so...don't worry about that 500 bucks Dwight.600 dollars does sound a bit high,who quoted you at that price? |

Umm Dwight even tho that amp is decent i dunno if it really puts out 800rms like it says. Audiobahn is known for failure,Im not tryin to be a d*ck Im jus statin the facts. I wouldnt use anything by Audiobahn if it was given to me. Just my opinion. |

Well if you want SQL id ditch your L5s and maybe look into getting a new HDC3 or maybe a Fi BL or Q. For the HDC3 you should prolly give it about 2k rms so look into the new AQ amps or if your on a budget Hifonics. For the BL or Q you will need about 1k and theres alot of good amps that put out 1k for a good price. Hifonics,Kicker,Orion,PPi,etc. |

}I don't really want a sub that requires more than 800-1K RMS because then I'm gona have to spend a fortune on amps. So that HDC3 is out and the Q is like straight sq sub right? I'm look at the BL specs I don't know wether to get flatwind or copper coil tho I'm still kinda in the noob region a lil. Hey thanx for the suggestions finnally some1 helps w/o downing what I have now. |

The Q is more SQ and the BL is more SPL/SQL. I would go with the BL if I were you. Dont get any options and just get a decent 1000wrms amp for it and build a ported box for it and you'll love it. Oh and yea theres alot of d*cks on here just ignore em,everyone was a noob at one time,I still consider myself a noob. |

I think the differant coil options will just give the sub more power handling,not positive on that tho. And cooling would be a good idea but if your just giving it 1000wrms its not a must. |

Well looks like 2 12" BLs it is I have no clue which amp to get that aint gona run me a fortune bcuz I've been reading tht hifonics sucks. Do those BL's need a big box you said go ported right or sealed? And 1 more thing if I'm giving 1K to each sub should I get a 2000 watt amp or 2 1000 watt amps? |

Hifonics amps dont suck but yea theres better out there for sure. I just mentioned Hifonics if you were on a budget. And I would get 1 amp that does like 1800-2000wrms @ 1ohm and make sure and get the dual 1ohm subs. But you know running that much power you'll have to upgrade your alt which i thought you said you didnt wanna do. Maybe just get 1 15" instead of 2 12s |

Nah ill upgrade once I find out the dude on ebays name. But hey I find a 2000K hifonics on ebay for 300 bucks I'm going 2 make a seperate post about it. Its doing 2000 @ 1 ohm but would I want to get dual 2 ohm subs so they can be wired down to run @ 1ohm. And what makes 1 amp better than another if its putting out what it claims too? |

Oh and yea Id for sure go ported. I think they require 1.8-2.5 cubic feet each,ported, so a box 3.5-5 cubic feet will be good. |

Iraggi makes alts on ebay for a good price. Hifonics would be a good budget amp but like i said theres better out there but it will cost more. If you get one amp that does 2000wrms @ 1ohm you will need to get 2 dual 1ohm subs so they can be wired to 1ohm. If you get 2 amps then you will either need to get 2 dual 2ohm subs and 2 amps that put out 1000wrms @ 1ohm each,or 2 dual 1ohm subs and 2 amps that put out 1000wrms each @ 2ohms. amps are just more complicated to install,you will need 2 runs of wire from your bat. or a dist. block and you will have to set the gains on each amp exact,so IMO its better to just get 1 amp that will do 2000wrms @ 1ohm. Plus one amp will prolly be cheaper than 2. |
