TO MANY QUESTIONS

[0\s accord]

ok, is a solid box better for two tens in a trunk or a slotted (hooker) box in a trunk? and is there such a thing as to big of a cap? and the last one, does lineX do the same as dynomat or b QUITE? ty sorry for all the questions

[sina518]

depends on car type of music listened to and power. their is no such thing as too big of a cap, a cap just stores power, not usfull unless you have tons of power in your car. in a sense linex will do the same thing but its heavier and not as effective, prolly cost more as well.

I highly doubt your getting anywhere close to 4k watts... just because it says 1000 watts or 4000 watts on the amp does not mean your getting it all.. alot factors into a amp's performance when using it... subs impedance... heat.... ohms... voltage.... grounds.. lol... unless its a TRUE 4000 watt amp then your not gonna ever see 4000 whats.. your probably getting 1/3 of that .. if that :D

they are the power acoustik sl-2000 class d mono block amps and the speakers are power acoustik mofo 10's


its advertised at 1600wrms at 1 ohm.

Most likely its rated at 14.4v with a 100hz tone also. Expect to get about 1k max out of the amp with music and I wouldnt be suprised to see that drop to about 800.

wow really? so what are good amps that do push out 4k speaker are (said to hold) 2400 ea ? and would they be best in a solid or slotted box?

[sina518]

what are your speakers again, dude you dont need a 4 thousand watt amp. but to give you an idea

in order to have that much power in your car and for it to run efficiently you have to upgrade your electrical system, meaning good power wire not the cheap stuff, a bigger alternator, a more than one battery. its a money pit unless you are going to compete and win money. which in that case i would tell you to sell the accord buy an astro van and wall it off with as many fifteens as you can fit. use what you have if it works, if it blows then go and buy some new nice stuff.

[sina518]

just to give you an idea of nice stuff, memphis, jl, alpine, rockford, kicker, RE, arc, focal, image dynamics and the list goes on.

^^^Don't forget about Jensen/Dual, MA Audio, Sony, Pyle, Boss, ect...lol haha.

Get the biggest cap you can afford, I'm sure whatever company you buy from will appreciate it. You can put makeup on a pig, but after that it's still a pig. Meaning: Why not spend the money on getting the charging system up to par? You can slap a 5000 farad cap on the car and it's not gonna fix a charging system that isn't up to par, where do you think the power comes from that the cap stores?

caps are over rated.. just a cover up for more problems to come ..... do the big three.. red topS... and the right wire.. alternator..a nd you dont need a cap... :D

your subs cant handle 2600 watts, they are advertised as 1k watts rms. In reality I wouldnt give them more than 800wrms so the amps you mentioned would work for them if the subs are dual 2 ohm. If they are dual 4 ohm then the amps wont be enough power.

[0\s accord]

they are dual 2 ohm subs . ok what box would be better for my car............

[BanginJimmy]

whatever box you like the sound of more. Both types have their advantages and disadvantages.

[sina518]

in your accord, if you do ported it will be louder and rattle more, if you do sealed it will sound cleaner but not as loud as ported unless u fold your rear seats down

[0\s accord]

k ty didnt want to go through the hole arguing about what the amps push and what the subs hold but ty

[sina518]

whats ty

[Dracc]

thank you
