i need your help please

hey i really needed some informed advice as to what i need to do cuz i hear 400 diffrent things every time i ask someone,   im installing 4 alpine type-R 12's and 2 sets of polk Ex3 6.5 components  with 2 mtx 1501D  1500 watt amps for the subs and the mtx 564 560 watt 4 channel for the components i have 2 one farad caps an optima red top, alot of 4 guage wire and fuses and such. what else do i need to get before i attempt this without blowing my alternator etc...

Ahhh, a loaded arsenal and no battle plan. Use a fused distro block to split power out to the 3 amps.  Wire one cap in-line on the power wire after the distro block to each sub amp, with the caps close to their respective amplifiers.

And just 398 more opinions to come...

sorry its early for me :) 

the r's are only 300 rms each x 4 =1200rms  but can take a little more from what i hear...i would just get 1 fosgate 1501d if i were you...1600+ rms at 2 ohm

are the r's 2 or 4 ohm..?

if they are dual 4 each then i'd wire them series / parrelel to get a 2 ohm load..

and if you insist on getting those mtx's you will not be using much of  them cause they will only be putting out 750 rms ar 4 ohm..

now if they are 2 ohm get a 1 ohm stable amp..and wire them series / parelell

if you stick with 1 amp you will be better off.. Your alternator and wallet will feel better if you choose to do 1 instead of 2 mtx's

i do own the 1501d mtx and am sorta satisfied with it..but i wish i had gotten the fosgate.it has alot more features and imo putts out more power..also has a ssf , wich is a must if runnin ported!

give me the specifics and i'll help you out

p.s.you wont need to upgrade your alt if you only use 1 amp..you can get a optima bat and do the big 3 and you should beable to get away with it.imo
