atltwan Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 Well I've decided what could be louder than a wall 0f 4 Kicker 15s.... actually it sounds like the wall but its all in the trunk. I have built a loud system but now I need help from the front to back. Currently I'm using 8 Kicker 12s in a sealed box with 2 Power Acoustiks 3000 amps. I have the Billet Specialities Tru Trac one belt system with a modded 160 amp alternator. I have four heavy duty batteries (big rig type sealed slow discharge) and also 1 Power Acoustik 1800 watt two channel amp. PROBLEM 1: Who can built a higher amp alternator that will fit in my bracket? http://www.billetspecialties.com/item.asp?cid=32&scid=282&pid=649 PROBLEM 2: I'm using 1/0 ga from alternator to all batteries, from battery bank to power "bolt [stevemeade special]" distribution and 4 ga to amps. Over the two week test period, the last battery terminal broke, exploded, or something???? What went wrong also the 1/0 ga power wire [i admit no soldier] was burnt about 2 inches up through the wire. PROBLEM 3: If I can't add a second alternator or bigger, how many batteries will I need and what type. I'll be using 4 PA 3000 amps [150 amp draw each max] 4 PA 1800 amps [60 amp draw each max]??? Thanks to all the comment and I'm still trying to upload pictures just need to little direction BTW I'm interested in any and all advice suggestions and what to do. The only thing I do want to keep is the 8 12s simply because I wanted more than the other setups I've had. I know less can be louder or just the same but for arguement sake: let me keep my design just suggest what brand of equipment if you were going to design the system. 1987 Chevy Caprice Brougham LS Powermaster 160 amp alternator 1/0ga and 4ga power wire Pioneer AVIC Z2 Audiocontrol 3xs Audiocontrol Epicenter (not installed) 4 Power Acoustiks 1800 watt 2 channel amps 4 Power Acoustiks 3000 watt 1 channel amps 6 Cadence 2" Tweeters 12 Cadence 8" mids 10 Cadence 6.5 mids 8 Cadence marine speakers 12 Kicker 12" cvr subs 1 Supportive lovable Wife [Tasia]
