412 CVX Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 im gonna be upgrading my alpine amp to an audioque 2200d running 2 type r's at 2 ohms, will be upgrading to 0awg and will be buying a Kinetik HC2400. will that be enough to power this amp or will i also have to do the big 3. car has 120 amp alt. in it stock and i dont wanna get a new one. also, where is the best place to buy 0awg wire? definitely upgrade to 0awg for the amp, if you were trying to feed that thing through a 4awg tube it would be considered anorexic the battery sounds about right for the setup too. the alternator might not be enough to stop voltage drop from happening, but it's pretty beefy so it will probably do. as far as the big 3 goes, it is extremely important to do for a setup of this caliber. the stock ground and power wires in that car are 8awg if you're lucky. without the big 3, your amp is using 0awg to draw power and your car is trying to supply it power through 8awg wire. in other words, do the big 3. it's important. for buying 0awg wire, see if any local best buys are hiring, you can get 200 feet of 0awg kicker wire brand new for $160 through one of the employee accommodations. that's less than $1 per foot! otherwise try amazon.com or ebay. stinger has decent wire for about $3/foot. Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs. My temp system build log More box buildssome cars do over 170db with one sub, so clearly my two 12"s can do that in my car, with my knowledge too! look out bitches! I'm with captain stupid.

m1dg3thunt3r Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 i called audioque and asked them about this and he said i should be able to be ok with it at 2 ohms if i got the hc2400, 0awg leads and if i did at least 2 of 3 big 3. he also said at 2 ohms, will draw about 150ish amps and that if i do that it should be ok with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
