Vibe Bass 5 amp (3000watts) x1
12" Space II (3000watts) x2 In a dual AC enclosure
Standard components, Looking for inifinity/rainbows/focals when i finish with my running gear setup!

Ideally looking to upgrade my alternator and maybe think about running another battery (Already have an uprated one)
So i can purchase and run Another Bass5 amp so the subs are running at their full potential!

At full gains certain alarms start to sound  :evil: I look like a thingy but bugger me is it funny!

I am assuming the alarms that do go off are cheap shiatttyy ones since the german cars never do :(
Is banter though!
Cant wait to run them at their full potential though!

Vibe bass5 = amp, only wanted half power to run the subs in nicely!
uprated battery although standard alternator :(
Means at night the gains have to be turned right down so my lights dont dim :(

@johnny. Yeah I've set a few off. My favourites are jag x-type & jeep patriot at work. In the middle of rebuild. Check project 150db. The louder you go the quieter it seems. Sorry to sound harsh but your vibe amp is actually 1500wrms. Think the subs are 1000wrms each also. Manufacturers use peak figures to draw people into buying products.

@Brett. I'm running brand x 18inch sub in boot off a sundown 3500wrms mono. 3 uprated batts and standard alt. Power supply is changing dramatically over the course of the next 4months.

It's difficult to go fast in an 8v with hundreds of kgs of speaker.

@b-chi, i know mate! peak figures are generally used to describe subs to sound better  :cool: lol!
In all honesty my sound system is nothing special just 2 subs in a box in a boot :D
A sub is generally only as good as the box you put it in :afro:

(Saw some 15's a week ago in the AC box, But i really cant justify buying them :'()

Ive got a 15" JBL sub in a sealed box
JBL GTO AMP running in tri mode for sub and components
Infinity Reference components up front
Infinity Reference 6x9s running off the head unit for a bit of rear fill.
Also a 7"motorised dvd player as headunit with sd card and usb slots.


Want to wire in the power cap ive had in me workshop for a while.
Need to dynamat the tailgate though as the plate drives me up the wall.
Also looking for a yellow optima battery as let my old one go with my last car like a numpty.

i found the best places to dynamat are inside your door skins,under the rear seat,in the boot lid,underheadlining if excessive and in the wheel well in the boot.
Car wont move from the weight but it will sound nice  :laugh:

Don't worry about the power cap mate. It's just something extra for your power supply to deal with.

If it's to stop your light dimming your better off either.

Bigger battery
More of them
Bigger alternator
Bigger power cable
Or even wire your lights to the power cap instead lol.
