E=MC sq'd.

 

+/-3dB

 

only when the ambient temperature is 83 degrees fahrenheit

 

so does this mean less power from the Amp is needed with 2 subs, therefore less power is drawn from the 12v DC car battery? just kind of guessing on the logic here as I also have the same question as the subject of this thread, whether to get one 12" or two 10" subs? and the above seem to be making a good point, but I'm a complete novice.

 

Tricky question ... it is kind of based on the amp's topology, the resistance fo the subs, and how you wire them.

 

Supposedly JL amps will produce the same amount of power regardless of the input voltage (of course it has to be 11.5-14.4). So technically you oculd run a voltage regulator to limit voltage input to the amp to keep more in the battery though God knows why you would.

So I guess I shouldn't worry so much about the battery if I'm just going to put say one 10" driver.....ah...I have a long way to learn.......

 

Not at all ... I ran ~2,000W of real power off the stock battery and alternator for 50,000 miles (a tad over 3 years) without a hiccup

 

Thanks Batman.

 

Not a problem

 

150 to 210 amps of power?



Wonder if they make a mean green alternator for the Z?

 

Yes Paul. One Crown/JBL BPX1100.1 and a PX300.4

Did I ever use all of the power ... well ... probably not, but the headroom was there. I'm not an SPL freak .. so it only got loud when I was out of the car for demo-ing it. The Pioneer subs couldn't handle all of the power anyways.

The only time I caution people about hi-power amp in the Z is when they run that Audiobahn stuff.

 

i have 3 10w6v2's running 1200 watts and the stock battery is holding up just fine
