Autotek MM4000.1 would be the best overall bet for the subs... and like previously stated, ditch the cap and upgrade to a better alt and secondary battery.
I'm sure they were just tryin to get an additional sale out of you by selling you the cap... You wanna run a cap on a system that is sitting right on the boarder of power usage... fine, but they really aren't doing you any good if you're still overworking your stock alt.

o and about your electrical system. whoever told you u needed a cap was wrong and wanted to sell you shit. second with a high power amplifier you need to give it proper current and voltage to get proper output. for a 4000.1 i would run a min of 200 amp alt and a secondary battery.

Terry is correct my mistake. they were orginally supposed to be dual 1. since you have dual 2s you need an amp that does 2000-5000 at 2 ohm or .5. i would look at the autotek MM4000.1 because its a dual mono block and u can run each side at 1 ohm and get gobs of power from it. this is my reccomendation. i run 2 of them in my buick. and i absolutly love them. i cant think of any other amp that would fit the situation as well.

those subs are dual 2 ohm btw.....if it were me id do 2 hifonics brutus bxi2006 on them or an autotek mm4000the hifonics are going to be a better amp for your budget...those amps i sell at my shop for around 500 each, but you all know how i am, if a guy was buying 2 id cut him a deal......

what vehicle is this going into? I hope you have a good new Battery and a strong ALT

i changed my originals to the tsunami big 3 about 5 months ago.

well if u run an amp or 2 that are pushing out 2kw a piece you are going to put a lot of strain on ur ALT. You should really invest in the BIG 3

why is the cap going to do nothing but hurt me? i had the old hifonics brutus 12" and they recomended me a cap! my budget for an amp is around $1000. what exactlly about my electrical system?

by Bwcad1 » Wed May 23, 2007 8:30 am

caps gonna do nothing but hurt you. i need a basic budget. what does your electrical system look like?

i looked real hard on the net for them and found them on this one sight for 367.50 with out tax and shipping. my budget probablly wouldnt be anything to extreme. the hifonics amps are pretty pricey to if iwanted one to run these subs. but i was jsut wondering what would be the best bang for my buck for an amp that would run them well cause i already have a cap.
