adam6604 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 hey guys, i just recently bought 2 15" RE SX subs, big upgrade from my 2 12" kickers.. but anyways im selling my alpine amp to buy a hifonics, 2000 watt amp off audiosavings. i know i need electrical upgrades, but i have a big RV battery sitting in my garage, i have a dodge ram and i can put it under my hood along with my regular truck battery.. i would run the system off just the RV battery with an isolator, would this keep my voltage pretty good? or should i buy a kinetic battery and specifically what one? im pretty new to a system over 1000 watts lol Quote Driving my 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 MEGA cab with the 5.7 hemi. Audio: Two 10" Alpine Type R's ( 1000rms models ) Hifonics BRZ 2400.1D @ .5 ohm Two Kinetic 1400 batteries ( soon to have XS power under hood ) Tsunami 1/0 Awg wire throughout truck. Stock Infinity 7 speaker system ( Junk ) soon to be replaced, probably all Alpine. Exterior: 17"Dick cepek rims with 33" Toyo MT tires Bushwacker fender flares Magnaflow true duel exhaust LED tail lights with Projector headlights Plasti-dip fun coming soon!

Guest Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 dont use an isolator. just wire both batteries + to + and - to - and you'll be good. also, do the big 3, it will help stabilize your voltage. also just curious, which amp exactly from audiosavings are you going to buy?

Carroot1 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 just a little heads up that hifi isnt going to do 2500 watts.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam6604 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 rated 2500@ 1 ohms, so idk lol i just need something to do 2000rms and hifonics seems to be cheapest, or a power acoustic BAMF 5500, but im not sure about power acoustic Quote Driving my 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 MEGA cab with the 5.7 hemi.

crispy_chick3n Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 the only time i trust numbers on the amps is if it is cea-2006 compliant. look for an amp that is and it will do rated.

crispy_chick3n Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 sounds like a good deal. you might look into an alt that puts out around 200A just to be safe, unless your stock alt already puts out close to that.
