kirill007 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 I would invest in a good alternator of atleast 300-350amps.(bigger=better) i think those amps didn't like voltage below 11.5-12v or above 16. SO if you don't have a voltmeter yet in your car, get one for 20-25 dollar. Quote Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for.

SO if you don't have a voltmeter yet in your car, get one for 20-25 dollar. I have a DMM. I know it wasn't smart but I hooked it up the over the weekend and played with it for an hour or so. Using 4 gauge power cable from my old RF Amp kit, the Kinetik HC2000 and a Duralast 1000 CA battery I borrowed. The Maxximus has 4 hots and 4 grounds I kept each connection no longer than 8 inches in length directly to the battery. No alternator just those 2 batteries in the trunk played the whole time without dropping below 12.2v Quote 2005 Hyundai Elantra 2 DD 3518s Hifonics XX Maxximus 150.5 @ 57Hz Legal 153.5 Kick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
