hey,i was wondering if anybody out there has a high wattage amplifier installed in their xb?i just bought two rockford fosgate T1 12's and i want to put a rockford fosgate T10001bd amp with them and was wanting to know if anybody has close to the same setup?

 

i have an 800 watt MA Audio amp running two 8s and two 6.5s...

nothing close to yours tho ;)

 

thats kinda funny because im about to remove an MA 800 and two MA12's from my box.the reason for my concern is the amp im getting has a 150 fuse and the requirements state that i need a minimum of a 100 amp altenator,2 gauge wiring and a 25 farad capacitor.my MA dont need all that.do you know what size altenator we have?

 

i think ours is a 90 amp...

 

I have a 600 watt RMS 1400 watt MAX JBL Amplifier with a 12" JBL 1600watt sub....what gauge wiring should I run? pls pm me with a response

 

this is about half the stuff i'm installing...minus the cap and crossover..i'm not using the crossover and i have a 6 farad cap.i just bought a t4004 amp,a180 amp alternator and a stinger 1000 battery to go with this.now i need to upgrade the stock speakers. i may reinstall the stock back springs so the weight of the box and all wont make me sag.it ought to level out.i'm going to remove the back section of the rear seat and make an amp rack.i'll upload pics as i go.i have two more t112's but they are dual 2 ohm and this amp isn't matched to them so i wont be using them.

 

MA Audio's site is down right now so this was the only way I could find pics of what I got.


this is the amp that I have right now, I need a second one.

I just have 4gauge running to the amp and it needs more power, it melted my last fuse block b/c it was pulling somuch power it got to hot. I need to run 0 gauge. I have the stock alt, and a Yellow top under the hood.

and here are the subs that I am running.

does anyone even make a 2 gauge? I have only known 10, 8, 4, and then 0.

 

look on ebay..you'll find all the 2 gauge you want!

 

this is some other stuff i tried in my xb.

 

well sure, you can find ANYTHING on E-bay.

I am just saying that I worked at a car stereo install place and worked in both sales and install and never came across 2 gauge in the product lines or installed it, always been 8, 4, or 0. I am going to go with 0 when I get the second amp. It is a pain in the butt to run in the xB, but I will need it.

 

i'm about to find out!

 

you are going to have to run it under the seats, not along the door seal. there are holes in the ribs that the seats are mounted to that you can run them in to the back and you will have to pull the back seat up.

 

thanks for the info!you just saved me a headache.

 

no prob, have 0 in a few xBs so I have learned the hard way. good luck

 

so what are you going to do with your ma audio stuff???

 

probably going to sell it on ebay, unless you are interested.
