  1. First i need to know Two xs 3400 or 1 3100. Or keep what i have and get sec. Alternator 250amp.

    Went to my audio shop today and the told me that i need to have another alternator installed and not even worry about getting another battery at all for now with the alt. it wont make it that much better. They said that if i keep my system with a new alt. it will charge the opt. yell. fast enough to keep my system going better then if i got a 3100, they said if had the batt, it would have to play n drain n then keep recharging it to much and would wear the battery quicker. Then they told me if would it would take a while to charge the 3100 back up and would have to drive/rev awhile to get it back fully charge.

    Would like to have my system be able to play a decent amount before having to stop playing.

    Would like to hear opinions need to know so i can know if i need to get in on the group buy or get an alternator

  2. Should i keep the stock and optima(or change it to the stock batt location) or totally get rid of it and get 2 xs3400(which is what i have heard from a few people) im looking into the group buy. Should i keep both batt. and get one 3400. Dont really want to run another one to the tuck bed though would rather have two. :pardon:

    Had to throw something else in they have a 145 amp HO.alt on ebay for 110 should that do better with one new batt., or should the stock and two new batt be better.

  3. Thinking about getting two 3400 they should be enough to power a kicker 2500.1 and a Jbl 75.2 or would i need only one 3400 and a smaller battery or what i have a 03 chevy avalanche. What would be price after discount if you dont mind calculating for me. Do i need the sig. to get the 15% discount.

  4. Sorry for the length. Alright i am trying to figure out what would be the best thing for me to do what to get some opinions from yall. Right now I have a kicker 2500.1, DC level 5, and Jbl 75.2. also i have a stock gm alternator. Also i have a stock Acdelco battery up front and a second yellow top battery under hood just bought would like to keep but should i get rid of it. just throwing out ideas should i leave the stock alternator and get a second alternator and run the truck accessories and jbl of one alt. to front battery and kicker of the other atl. and battery, should i just upgrade the stock amp to a 200 or higher, should i get a new bigger front and back battery or just a bigger back battery or just add a third altogether and keep everything how it is. Right now if i turn my amp up about half way on my bass knob my system plays for a few seconds well and then drops to about 11/12 not good, i would like to be able to at least play a full song or let it bang hard for a few minutes. i know my sub can handle way more power then i am giving it right now and i really want it to play well. I have a box that is 6.5cub.(sub) port is tuned to 35hz whole box is about 10cub. dont remember port size exactly. Could yall help me out sorry if it seems i ran on and on just want to get it right. Hope yall will actually read all this. Please tell me what would work well, dont want to spend to much money on over kill. Thanks guys. :pardon: :pardon: :pardon:

    Ummm, your box is too big, if you only have 1 sub... What JBL are you talking about? You said you have a kicker 2500 amp, and a DC sub... Try making sure your gains are set correctly as well...

    I think you need better batteries. Also, since you don't have your batteries isolated they should all be the same brand and size. Look at XS from Powermaster.

    your stocker alt is 112amp. Upgrading MAY help, but most likely your stocker is going to produce more amps at idle than an aftermarket. this will affect vehicle performance. Look at specs at different RPM to be sure the aftermarket model will produce enough current below 1000rpm.

    His stock alt is NOT going to produce more amps at idle than an aftermarket one... Sorry...

    OP, look at doing the big 3 if you havent already done it, make sure your grounds are good and solid...

    Thanks for help. My box is built to specification from DC for the Level5 18. Wiring done and works perfect its not that, i just need a little more help on how to keep/hold more volts/amp better. My system only hooked up for about 3 days now. Havent even put a full hour of play time on it yet or full power

  6. nice sub & truck man =].

    are u taking out backseats for this build or will it be a blowthru?

    Im am going to be building the box right be find the seats i guess it is going to be a blow. but the panel in the avalanche can be removed so i dont have cutting of the actual truck to do just replacing the midgate, which is not to hard to remove. Hoping i may still have room to carry my bike in the back doubt it though will probably have to make custom hook locations. Thanks for the compliment

  7. Finally got some pics uploaded. Level 5 18 getting installed tomo. hopefully. Do yall like my sub and my truck this is the first time ive put pictures up. recently got into an accident and had it painted House of Kolors Oriental Blue with silver on the hood with Prizme color change cant see in pics. also i went from 22's to 18's/33's and im having a lift put on soon. Let me know what you guys think.

  9. What about box sizing.(6.5cub.)(7/7.5cub.) (lets say i did 10/11 cubes not going to but what would the difference be). I know people gave me a few suggestion and i was wanting to know a little more like, would the bigger/smaller box make higher db, more air movement, whatever else you could think of would help just trying to make everything perfect.
