Sub & amp

[Mr G]

Hi guys well i just joined this club and i just wanna ask if these 2 are ok together. I have a JBL W10GTI sub and a Hifonics XI Thor amp. Are they 2 good together?

Welcome Aboard Sailor...

Sorry I cant answer your question!

 

[Mr G]

Thank You. Ah its ok but it still sound mint though. Thanks for the welcoming.

 

[MattyK]

If you already have em you should know if they are good together

 

[Lunner]

Welcome dude, dunno abut your question, but there are some real ICE bofters on here, theyll be sniffing around sooner or later

 

[Bryan]

**cough**, gti series you say, been a while since i heard any of them, at last count (1999) they were a quality series of speaker, the hifonics amp is a very good quality amp, combined without knowing igures id hazard a guess they do mix very very well

ps, how much for the sub??

 

[Mr G]

he he well i got the sub and box for £260 but just wasnt sure on the amp being powerful enough for the sub coz it keeps on going louder everytime my car idles. Do i need a power cap to solve this problem?

 

[Mr G]

will a power cap solve this problem with my amp not giving enough juice all the time? or is it a waste of time?

 

[Pete]

Power Cap or a better battery will help.

 

[Monkey45]

Or just leave the car idling! All day. Every day.

 

[Mr G]

Ok cool thanx u guys. i get back to you when i fitted me power cap. cheers. Graham.

Power caps arent very well thought of in the ICE industry as they dont really do a lot. I would say if you have a power problem then you might want to invest in a bigger battery. Get the biggest one that will fit in the tray with the largest CA or CCA rating and AH ratings you can find...that should sort it.

 

[Mr G]

Nice one evil ice. Like a yellow top battery? or something better? If i do change the battery will i need to change the alternator? I have a ph2 valver. Cheers

 

[Evil ICE]

Nope..the alternator should be fine. I think yours is a 70 amp model but I might be wrong.

You could get a yellow top..they are good batteries but fairly pricey. I use them myself. Stinger and Odyssey make some good batteries too.
