Out of those 3... Sundown for sure... Jacob supports his customers really well (despite what NTOXKTD says... he's uninformed)

Atomic is a nightmare to deal with.. and I'm unsure about Elevation.. but I KNOW Jacob at Sundown will take care of you.

 

out of all 3 brands you mentioned - Sundown.

 

Jacob is whom exactly and where is he located?

 

nice subs, don't get me wrong, but I don't see the use in all that power from an alternator that I know couldn't handle it. I am still waiting to install my new alternator and getting it tested, but am estimating that I'm going to get 80-90 amps at idle. From my calculations 2 subs with that rms worth would run me somewhere around 166 amps b/c i know most of the amps im looking at pushing that kind of rms are 86-88% efficient. I know im being a tight as* about the whole thing, but i need something that can allow my car to handle at idle.

I am not saying that 1500rms wouldn't damage my set-up without an extra battery, but is close to something that I should really be looking at if I don't want to put in a HO alt. I am going to run either a optimum red top or a kinetiks battery, don't know which one yet.

 

Get Sundown. Jacob is the company owner in the USA. Dealer Smartass on this board carries Sundown. I have a flawless 1500D for sale, PM me if interested.

 

I am the distro for sundown in Canada and an authorized dealer for elevation in canada.

Jacob is a really great guy, and I am willing to help you out in any way you would need (As if you are to purchase in canada, warranty goes through me). That being said, I have only ever had 1 sundown amp come back to me. and it was a 1000, not a 1500.

 

sounds like a plan. I don't mind the sundown amps at all. seem pretty clean inside and accept 1/0 gauge, which I am planning on using in my setup. I do have a question that I need answered and that would be what kind of power recommendations would you guys have in terms of a new battery. I know kinetics makes some good stuff, but instead of getting 2 new batteries, wouldn't it be easier just getting one larger battery that would reduce resistance, ect... I am still going to be pushing 80-90amps at idle and was wondering what battery would assist me in pushing the amp close to full tilt for 10-15mins.

for reference the sundowns do 1510rms at 1-ohm stable at 12V
