Sub/Amp and some questions Options

[Niskyspy]

Hi, well I am getting tired of my system and I am thinking of getting JBL BP1200.1 AMP and Power Acoustik mofo-12 sub. So here are some questions to people who have them big systems in their celi's.
1) What do u think of mofo-12 I mean its a pertty cheap sub for 1200Watt RMS and 180$, is it reliable.
2) For ppl with crazy sytems, as of now I am running 5 gauge power to my car and I am thining of upgrading to 1 or 0 gauge so that I can use all juice from the alternator. I am thinking that I can easily run about 700Watt RMS throgh stock electrical without any additional batteries. Am I right on that or will my alternator die really fast?
3) What Db's do you think I'll get if I use 2.3sq/ft ported box?
Thank you
P.S. Lol I am going crazy with this subwoofer ****, I'll prolly get mad tickets this summer for a loud system lol

Are you going for quality sound or just BOOM BOOM BOOM? If you want Boom and don;t care about sound. Get a 15" sub. Doesn't sound as precise but it moves more air, and that's what bass is, moving air. ie.
2x15" subs = 30" total
3x10" subs = 30" total
the same amount of inches, but the 10's will sound ALOT cleaner than the 15's. they provide a much tighter bass hit as the 15's would produces more of a *fart noise* type of bass (a little more distortion)
anyways...
It's hard to say what kind of db you will get. Rewiring your system might actually take more money and time than it's worth a 1/0 gauge kit will run about $130. I would look into getting a capacitor (at least 1/2 farad) saves you the time of rewiring your system. Not to mention you'd probably have to buy new hardware (batt. terminals, power distibutors, etc.) If you REALLY want to rewire it, you do no to get 1/0 gauge. 2 gauge would be more than enough.

GOOD LUCK BUDDY!
