I have two 12″ Alpine type X speakers..What is the best setup to have?
I want to know if I should get the ‘2′ ALPINE PDX 1.1000 MONO AMPS WHICH ARE EQUAL IN RMS POWER @ 1000W PER SPEAKER. Or find a 2 channel amp that pushes their peak power @ 6000W ALL TOGETHER (TOTAL) for both speakers. If so, then which amp would you recommend. In addition, what kind of ported box would be the best for my setup.
Match the RMS, not peak.
Some things you may not be aware of….
If your total system power is a 1500 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 may result in an early death to the alternator.
Here is a guide that will calculate what size alternator and power wires you need as well how to set the gain http://www.datafilehost.com/download.php?file=6d26c621
You’ll need Microsft Excel to use it. 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 just an added strain on the alternator unless you plan on running the system with the engine off.
A cap 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.
