the only problem would be belt slip since you have v belt, and look at prices on ebay, some newer model claim to do 250a for under $200
newer models offer better cooling, better cooling less failure
-
if you want you can pm me and i can help you with this, changing to newer stile alts is not hard, some even fit where the original alt goes
-
is it a GM alt? sound like it is. i changed mine from my truck and upgraded to the cs130, if you say your wiring skills are good you should look into getting a new stile alt. the wiring is really simple, i got a pig tail from ebay with a resistor in it for $20 and ran it to ignition, the other one to my distribution block and it charges way better
-
you can buy a resistor and wire it to ignition and the other one to constant power, the resistor should be around 500 ohms
if the alternator is the same model and just bigger in amps then you can just wire it to the stock plug
edit: i wouldnt get the one wire alt since if it fails you will get be out of luck finding someone to rebuild it back to one wire. just get the one you can plug up to stock harness or you can even buy a better unit and buy an adapter plug than can make it work

battle of the moms

effen haters man, we have many of them in this world

my mom thinks she can fight and she always gets her ass kicked, she is 54 and thinks she can kicks 20 year old ass lol
-
i want to get me one too
-
my brother is selling one that he got in october so im guessing its a 2011, he wants $800 including the RE xtx5000.1 amp

thats not a horn box

why not buy 2 FI SSD12 it will only cost you a bit more of the 4 12 and can fit in with a 5 cubes and ported box
Edit: what i came to learn in car audio is not to go with a budget since you will always spend more that way, we all say we only want to spend $140 for a sub then after a while its not enough so you go buy another one at $200, why not buy the $200 sub and save the $140, if you dont have the cash to spand $400 on 2 you can always buy one then get the other one when you are ready. its just me because now i have 4 15L7 1 brz 2400 and a bxi that is rated at 2600 wrms that are just collecting dust and just that set me back $1630 when i could have used that with my current set up

Hey guys I'm putting yet another system in my 1991 Plymouth sundance, I've got between 4-5 cubes in this hatchback to work with.i was thinking going either 4 10's or 4 12's. I'm thinking of Rockford's new P1's cuz they r only like 70 bucks on sonicelectronicx. I was wondering if u guys had any better options for that price. Also maybe some ideas on a box, I was thinking ported, but would appreciate any help. Thanx
its a very small place for 4 12, why not go with 1 15?
-
you said you connected both ends of the positive wire together? (the one that used to go into the cap, and the one that went from the cap to the amp) thats a huge no-no dude. you have to replace the wire with a whole new run
cant he just use an inline fuse instead of running another wire?
anyways that happen to me when i went to install my amps last year like 10 months ago, stupid installer put 2 wires together and used zip ties to hold it then used blue tape like the one they use when you replacea window, i was so damn pissed and he said that it works so i told him since where it was done ran under the carpet wouldnt it create a short, he responded with thats why it has tape now step away and let me work im a proffecional, since i was in a hurry i let it go and got home later that night a fixed it running a new wire. few days later i complain to the shop he got fired and now i install my own amps since others dont give a crap about your things or if your car catches on fire. I still have that wire so if i ever see that guy working in another shop i can show the owner, anyways will take pics to show you guys.
OP sorry for the thread jack
-
you can also try it then upgrade later, still a waste of money if you do that
-
just like the title says, head me up with the cost and pictures
-
it should be over 140
-
That eBay 1/0 (not sure what brand) is 10 feet, would that be enough?
10 feet is more than enough
-
IMO you have not done a thorough bigIII without a dedicated alt ground. I've said it twice!
^^^^yes your peak output should be closer to 2000-2400 engine rpm.
really depends on the pulley, he can get a smaller one and can peak at a lower rpm
-
Already did the big 3 upgrade. said that like 3 times =(
okay we get that you did the big 3 but you said you tested the alternator and it did 220a at 4000 rpm, is that correct? that might be the problem
-
am i the only one that sees something wrong here?
he has a hifi2000 and a 220 amp alt and hes having problems. those amp dont even put out 1500 rms. i know several people who have those on stock electrical just fine. there is diffidently something wrong here. maybe bad ground?
How do you know his "220" amp alt actually outputs 220 amps.
Factory tested. 220amps at 4000rpm
ground is probably my problem...there is no ground wiring, just what is mounted on the motor'.
omg what company is that so i'll make sure i dont get one, 220 amps at 4000 rpm means you have to be driving over 100 mph.

i dont know what it really dose but for sure its not enough to power his electrical, beef up the alt or get more batteries

I already did the big 3...with 0/1 gauge wiring
this isnt rocket science my friend, your amp is pulling 200+ amps and you have a 220a alternator im guessing its around 90a at idle, you will get dimming regardless if you are driving since your alternator is not producing enough amparage you need to supply for that amp.
-
well for one you first had it at 3 ohms the first time then wired it to 1 ohm which now makes the amp pull and makes more power
Winner winner chicken dinner!
Taking an amp from 3ohm (guessing 75A of draw on your charging system) down to 1ohm (upwards of 200A or the fuse rating on the amp) is what you are noticing.

so what is my prize
OP you asked what was the point on subsonic filter? well the filter is there so you wont play anything under port tuning, am i right guys?
-
Next time, don't ask for help then tell the person that's helping you that they're wrong. We HATE people like that.
lol that is just funny
OP why not turn off the db knob all the way down and properly install the bass knob by your dash so you can control it from there. one thing you dont see is the way you have it will be sending your subs dirty signals and will fry them and maybe even the amp.

if you can fit a cs130d it would be better since its a bigger case and it is better on staying cool
