See there is a flaw in your theory mate.. if i was to use 4 mono amps to run my 8 subs in theory it would be good.. but you see i am running 4 subs in one enclosure and the other 4 in another.. when you start using multiple amps running multiple subs in a common box you need some pretty damn sensitive (expensive) equipment to correctly tune the amps so they are putting out identical signals.. Much easier to use one single high powered amp to run each box of subs.. My amps are 1500wrms.. and 4 subs are 1200wrms worth of voice coils so ample power really.. Cheers, Nik |

Underpowered i know.. Trust me if you saw the batteries you would understand why i am going with 4 of them.. And i am running 2 x 2 Farad capacitors.. one the speaker amp and one on the headunit/ICE.. I am running the caps there for a reason.. Capacitors on sub amps when the batteries are within 30cm is a waste of time and money.. where as by running the caps on the speaker amp and headunit/ICE will stabilise the voltage going into these thus improving their performance and stopping the headunit/ ICE from dimming with the bass.. 1500wrms + 1500wrms + 760wrms = 3760wrms or 3.8kwrms.. Basic maths.. Hope this answered your comments MR GURU.. Cheers, Nik Well as much as I appreciate the sarcasm....u dont yet have the 2nd 1500wRMS amp ... hence with only a single 1500w i was trying to work out where your other 2300w were coming from and thought maybe you were including the woofers in there.....so no not basic maths...just didnt realise u were forecasting what you are hoping to have.... As far as the caps....your kiddin yourself if u think hangin them of your speaker amps will benefit in any way....or help with dimming (if there with and inline sub circuit and close enough to it then yeh may help with the dimming)....only reason while you're gonna get dimming is from the high current draw the subs/subwoofer amplifiers draw so why wouldnt u hang them off there ? ... have you actually heard of anyone doing what you plan to do...stiffening caps in car audio were intended for assisting in keeping the flow of current to your class D amps regulated and adequete....MAINLY for burst periods or high current draw periods like cranking up that system at an SPL day etc....and they need to be as close to the sub amp circuit as possible most say no longer than 18cms. So not having a crack at ya dude but just saying u might waste some money yourself... Regards "MR GURU"

Cheers, Nik and there isnt as such a flaw in his theory......he's said he would run 4 monos.....didnt say 2x per enclosure....which would support your statement. In saying that what you plan to do is fine....but the assosciated costs of running multiple amps capable of provide close to identical signal strength isnt as big as u think...and can even be done with normal amps just requires more advanced tuning. Good luck with the setup mate...take it this is all Jaycar gear then ?

And did u mind elaborating what u planned to run ? and dont feel im just talkin down to u or anything I run 3 large capacity batteries in my own install and am considering adding a 4th altho not needed. Just wondering what sorta current draw you think you system may draw?

i hope for your sake you dont underpower too much, i killed my last sub with that, youd have 7 extras to pay for...

yeh funny how that works hey underpowering can some cases be worse for gear then overpowering ... espescially when u start to push equipment...

Cheers, Nik Hey mate i know i havent been here for that long either but there is no need to have a go at members who have been here ALOT longer and have offered there good advice on any number of occasions to help out fellow fordmodders after all that is the point of this forum.and from what i have seen and read kev knows what he is on about. |

Thanks dude but yeh i wouldn't worry this sorta stuff is bound to happen from time to time and its easy to miss read info....but yeh appreciate the comment and wish all the best for wikwoks install looks good so far

well with turbo kit round the corner  3" stainless tip backed by full 3" system would go down a treat

Hmm.. Well just a few points to clear up..
* I have got an aftermarket exhaust - 2.5" straight through one muffler i just hate all the gay a** oval and dump tips that get around.. But don't worry once the rear bar goes on you won't see my tip at all.. * Batteries i am running are 18ah gel cell batteries with a crank capacity of 330a/10secs.. As for current draw of the system i am estimating around the 300 -350 Amp mark when playing sine wave.. * As for the capacitors.. well testing in my system (as well as other SPL designed cars) has shown that maybe i am correct.. And running caps in spl systems when a battery is in the rear can sometimes lead to a DB loss.. But i am sure you already knew that.. Guess we will just have to wait an see won't we.. * And yes it is all Jaycar gear.. I figured i may as well use my staff purchase... Cheers, Nik |

Do you guys get half price?
I know somebody who knows somebody who says he gets half off after 6 months of employment. How true is that. Jaycar pay must be pretty good if you can afford a sex car like that.
