evermaxx Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 i wouldnt want a 60 amp alt running my 4k system. your asking for problems that way. you'll kill your alt or a battery or ever worse your amp. Just what I was thinking.. Just wanted to see if I had other options Quote Team Subsonic Lows Get your garbage EMF products of my amp bitch Man....it makes a nice work bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamHT Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Calling bull on the AQ2200 clamp, lol. Also...stock Honda alternator is like what...90-100amps? So magically 60 amps charging two Dekas supplied current for almost 3,000 watts. Just magical. Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

corteznewbie Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 yea jeep alts are pricey but there's ways around it. plus you gotta remember your never really getting all the possible power from your amp. you have box rise the size and how long your speaker wire is against you.

matt14 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I'm running the same amp at .5 and now at .7. With this, I have two xs3400 and a dc 250 amp alt.

poorfish88 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 A few seem to have gotten good result without an alt. For the sake of your question, get an alt and have no worries about your system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGold Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I run my 3500.1d at 1ohm nominal and temporary running my stock alternator with a 6500 and 3100. I drop to low 13s on the low notes. I do normally run my 270 amp Mechman, with virtually no voltage issues. Finding out the amperage of your alternator would be a good start. I would definitely recommend 2 good batteries if an alt is out of budget. Maybe Deka or Shuriken. While your voltage may not necessarily be awful, if an alternator fits your budget, by all means do it. How much are you able to spend and what is this primarily for? Do you demo at idle mostly or are you usually driving around? It all factors in for your needs and I am talking the best you could do to support it with no half assing. Not overkill. We can then give you the best for your needs. Obviously if budget isnt an issue you're going to get a lot of "350+ amp alternator and 3 XS Power 3100" responses Which is ridiculous.
