I was thinking of a 2000watt amp for the subs but the 800watt pioneer is 800watt bridgable @4ohm so when bridged each sub will be powered by 800watt @4ohm if wired up the way my diagram shows
the subs are 800watt each aswell..Why does no1 like power caps? lol
1st one. Don't get 6x9's . Specially if your having 3 subs in the boot!! Will just completely mess them up if you put them on the parcel shelf.
Get yourself on Talk Audio forum (search google) . Though you'll end up spending thousands most likely from the advice on there.
Impressive diagrams though lol.

why would you run 3x800watt subs off a single 800watt amp? you would be better off running a single 15"

oh and the power cap will be needed if you want to turn that up at all, as being a 1.4 the alternator will not cope running just off a standard battery, make sure you keep the car running if your powering 3 subs, also thats going to be a hell of a weight in your boot, if your interested I am about to put up for sale a single Alpine type X 10" sub powered by a JL Audio G-Max 1200w mono block amp
Polo + Micra
how will the power cap help? it's just extra load on the alternator
QUOTE DINK
the reason people don't like caps is because they don't work
i'm not sure you get the sub idea
bridged means you combine a 2-channel amplifier outputs to one output into a single speaker
Bridging the amp and speakers as in the diagram 800 watts is running through all 3, its 1 hole circuit..

Im going with 10s as the music I play most is up beat (trance, hardstyle, etc), done a few setups in the past and I always find 10s sound a lot better with that sort of music

Thanks mate.. the 6x9 idea is out the window most people are telling me not to use them.. gona go for extra pair of mids instead

May help you understand exactly what amp you need

Power caps help because they draw power for the subs before it is needed. They put a constant load on the alternator rather than a varied one. That's why when I play my system loud the head lights pulse with the beat of the music. If you have a power cap you don't get this. Cause when the subs are not active the power cap is reserving power or when they do kick in
Polo + Micra
the problem is the amount of power they have in reserve is tiny really tiny then when the first bass note hits it'll be discharged so it is then taking power away from the amp
i've had a power cap and it made the light dip worse.
i did get rid of most of the light dip by adding an extra 4 awg link between the chassis and battery and installed a yellow top battery
