RooTxBeeR Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 It's not really a "when" for those that you state, you can do the big three, a 2nd battery, or nice upgraded and not have to do a alt upgrade. It's all based off stock specs and what your build will be. I do like the idea of this thread if it where to expand to its fullist.

Guest grim83 Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 I made this thread so can use it as a preference with car audio. Feel free to add more info to anything other than these ones. like when would you have to add a extra battery? when would you need to do the big 3? when would you need a bigger alternator? tunning rules of thumb are dumb depends on the cars stock charging capabilities. rule #1; If you smell smoke, turn it off! Lol ya, here's another, dont buy xplods Also if you hear a loud thumbing, smacking noise and see your cone going crazy, turn it down or youll rip the surround Oki would beg to differ on the xplods Rule #3: Dont buy prefab boxes. not a fan of prefab but some company do make decent ones Port Area: 14-16in^2 per ft^3 using a slot port. 9-12in^2 per ft^3 using an aero port.

Skullz Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Prefab boxes are fine if you know how to combat the box noise that they make cause of being certain shapes. Squares and cubes generally make up prefabs and they tend to be the worst shapes to make unless you add polyfill or a layer of cotton/ dacron batting. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
