Hey there guys, The Solo X's just havent been doing it for sound quality for me.

I currently have a American Bass 500.1 but I will be downgrading to two US Amps Merlin M2D2's which are rated at 1500w RMS @ 1 ohm. 5000w RMS is a little too much for my daily driver :P

This will give me 3000w RMS to work with.. I was thinking of purchasing two 2 RE AUDIO MX12D1's. I have been really impressed with RE's subwoofers they sound amazing and pound hard.

I have a question about electrical, I still need to purchase a new vehicle so thats undecided as of now. But it will be most likely a car so this system is going in a trunk. It's going to be hard to fit it all in a trunk but I am determined.

Both the Merlin M2D2's are going to be a big power draw, and I have my Alpine MRP-F600 that will be powering my mids.

Would I be able to get away with having one good battery under the hood? Or would I need to go with another in the trunk? I could do one under the hood and one in the trunk but I am thinking that is all I will be able to fit. I am thinking XS Power or Kinetik for batteries.

Comments, suggestions.

 

Two batts, one HO alt, big 3

 

Yeah I forgot to mention those, I will be definitely getting a high output alternator and doing the big 3 upgrade.

 

General rule of one extra batt to every 1500 RMS is how i look at it.
I'm going three Optima yellows in the trunk and one under the hood. overkill yes but i got a good deal on the batts.
