First

200 rms is the problem lol. Gotta know model etc etc. I have no experience but from what I've heard they need 1000+ rms. Goodluck!

^^^^ that!! Lol jk. Like the other people say "check the ground wires" or wires in general. Goodluck!!

Unfortunately I don't have a build log bro. My gears are: DC XL 15" RF T2000-1BD Optima yellow top 1/0 big 3 1/0 all around Stock alternator 10 farad RF capacitor JL 300/4 Sony Xplod mids and highs

Thanks bro. I still need to upgrade my electrical tho lol.

"your experience" lol u certainly are correct!! But I'll upgrade the electrical ASAP!!

ahh a civic, only thing HO alts are not usually arent cheap but with these cars it will be abit more expensive but def will be worth it!

How's his electrical?

Still need to upgrade my electrical. All I have done is big 3 and 1/0 wires all around. Planning to get a H/O ALT and extra battery soon tho. And yes 1 amp to 2 subs.

I have a small alt. Maybe 85?? It's a civic lol. But in this case I'll look at my options. Planning to get an alt strong enough for 2000+ rms.

I'm planning to upgrade my alternator and I'm debating on buying one from DC or have the local shop rewind my stock alt to 165-170 amps?

I'm thinking about getting two 12" Orion HCCA and I was wondering if the RF will be strong enough to push the subs. Also should I get the 12.2's or 12.4's?

Sucks man. I'm also a part time worker. All the money I make goes to bills. No beats lol

your confusing me with your double post, looks like you two different people, had to double take there for a sec, ha ha, anyways, yea, its worth saving a bit, I understand the income side of it, I just took a huge hit at work, ableit I am only part time, but I went from 20 hours down to 8 hours, so I have to get a second job to afford the mazda I want to get kinda sucks it happened right around when I was about to buy one

Yea I'm like that also. It's just that my income limits me to get what I need (like that 270 amp) but like the guy above said I'll definitely save up and get something that'll last.

do it right the first time, dont cheap out on an alt just to get it earlier, spend the extra money and get something that is gonna last ya, same with a battery and everything else.

Orion hcca FTMFW!!!

Will 220 do the trick? Or should I go as AMI suggest: 270?? Remember guys I only have a Civic!!

thats about right. check out mechman gettin a 220 amp alt for a pretty good price

Some alt says 160/100. I'm guessing it 160 amps and 10o idle. Does that mean I dont get the full 160 all the time?
