im def gonna do it asap but the alternator is on the passenger side on the bottom.

its grounded in 4 because i had all 4 gauge wires when i first started. and i didn't up the alt wire up front because my alternator is extremely difficult to reach. it might need to be up on a lift.

all bare metal.. my rear bank is connected to the front by 0 gauge and my rear bank is grounded by 4 gauge... would 2 runs of zero help alot back there or is one enough? its like a one foot run.

when the bass hit the volts go down to low 12's and some songs 11.5 and up ... which is bad.. amp gain is 25% interstate battery it the megatron 47 and its the biggest battery i can fit and its under the hood. i probably need to get a better alternator plain and simple...but how much are they and who makes good ones for my needs?

bump...

Running a T1500bd-cp and a 4 channel that's like 200 rms at best! the Rockford T1500cp is a little more than 1900 rms... i have a kinetik 1800 and 600 a interstate battery under the hood.. 2 of the big 3 done. zero gauge wire too. current alt is stock 130 amp i have voltage drop after like 3 songs. my voltage starts at like 13.8 and after u play it for awhile it goes down to 13.3 or 13.2 and stays there for awhile.. the bass gets noticeably weaker after a few minutes of play. never does the voltage go above 14...never!! how is this possible...i hop in random people old cars with the stock volt meter and it read above 14 and there nothing aftermarket in there...like wtf!!!!!!!??? all i can do is switch my rear battery bank ground wire to zero and do 2 runs and finish the big 3 which would be to run the 0 gauge to the alt...after doing this i really don't see the problem being solved. is the alternator the answer?? i have heard some stories of people with batter batteries than me and a very high output alternator (excess of 350!!) and they still had voltage drop with not that much rms to be honest... im basically worried that the alt wont do it.. if i get an alt i don't want to spend that much money.. like 250 or less if possible. I NEED SUGGESTIONS!!!!!!!! also how do you get your system to the point where when the bass hits you lose like .1-.4 volts...??? how do these people do it...plus with more watts than ill have.. i need help please.!!!!

mine crackles too man its the punch EQ. i think it only does it when you turn it up when no bass is hitting.. just turn it up slow

i would abide by the guidelines of 2007 and beyond. tried it b4 with a different amp and it fit but the PEQ did NOT turn on.

your going to get smacked by the T2500 hands down... if you properly design your enclosure and tune it to the woofers frequency then your system will slap harder. make sure your electrical can put out 2500 rms.. get a deep cycle up front and in the rear.. make sure its a stable 14 volt system and you'll be fine.

whats the formula to calculate this??

dont use kicker mids... i have had nothing but problems with them even on low power... gave the so called 100 rms kicker ks 6x9's 50 rms at best! and they blew with proper wiring and tuning.. stay away from kicker mids and highs as they are very very "tinty" in sound... your ear drums will hate you!
