dont mix subs, either have 3 of the same subs or just use the 2

Not in the morning unless u leave ACC on overnight.. for some reason.
If u want mad DB then go for it, The sound quality with just be poo and you'll have dead-spots in the frequency range, and youll probably end up breaking the smaller sub if you push it way hard.
If your concerned about power, get a GOOD battery, and run big think cables (4 - 0 gauge) and do the 'big 3 upgrade'.
Don't bother buggerin around with capacitors. good batt, good cables, working alternator is all u need really.

iv got the two sony explodes 1200 watts already in with the 650 watt amp , 4 gauge wired all through , the other amp and subs are waiting to be wired in by an audio shop id assume theyd use 4 gauge aswel , but battery wise they also said shouldnt have a problem no need to upgrade at all

Why do you need such a big stereo in a street car? Are you trying to be booked for excessive noise?

That's because you don't know much about car audio... There is no need for a 2nd battery with that equipment.

Yes, you read that right... He's quoting retarded maximum power ratings that mean nothing because he has no idea about car audio too.


Original poster... Put some more effort into your post if you want accurate answers. You need to list the actual products. Saying a "650w amp" is like asking on a car forum about your "250kw car", it means shit without actual details of the amp/car you're referring to.

Hang on mate you read my post wrong...I ment replace the old one...not run a second one?
That's if he is worried about dead battery...I upgraded to deep cycle and it runs all my audio stuff nicely...
And I like to think I know a little bout car audio thank you

[StoneX]

Sorry, I have no idea how I read that as a second battery

[kcpwns]

All good I assumed so haha...no hard feelings...to be honest I was more concerned with the amp rating...before chucking in any subs I'd be looking upgrading the amp...they wouldn't be running at full potential :/
