Mario928 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Agree ^ instead of cap put a secondary battery that will help with the voltage. Quote Build Under Construction Head Unit = Kenwood DDX514 Amps = Kicker 750.1, Going to install Sundown 1500D v3 and Sundown 125.4 Battery = XS D3400 Wires = Kicker RCA's, 0 Gauge street wire and Stinger Mids and Highs = Stock Sub= Kicker L7 12" Alternator = 220 Mechman Sound Deadner= Fatmat and Stinger Road Kill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Agree ^ instead of cap put a secondary battery that will help with the voltage. Not sure if he would need a second battery with a 1000 watt amp and a 240a alt. Wouldn't hurt though. The more the merrier I would say to ditch the yellow top and get an XS power / Kinetik. The yellow top's resting voltage is 12.4v, while the other batteries I just listed are closer to 13v. That would certainly help with voltage too Edited January 4, 2012 by SnowDrifter Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD7786 Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Well big 3 was gonna go as soon as I got the new although. I was thinking like a voltage meter on dash, or something. Anything to make it louder short of another speaker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DC Power Kyle Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Good battery bank and a quality alternator that can keep up with your stereo is the key to being "loud" along with your box design, sub choice and all that good stuff.

MD7786 Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 What about something for distortion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD7786 Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 And when I do the big 3 I should run 0 gauge right? Do I meed a certain type of battery terminals? One with voltage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovebass808 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 And when I do the big 3 I should run 0 gauge right? Do I meed a certain type of battery terminals? One with voltage? yes 0 gauge is the prefered gauge of wire to use. and no. just as long as your terminals can hold the 0 gauge properly and for distortion, do you mean something like the SMD DD-1 that can detect distortion?

MD7786 Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Well my car came with a jbl audio package and has a amp built in to mmiss and highs. But when I turn it up alot it kinda distorts. I have 2 type r for back and type s for front but didn't know where to get speaker adapters cause they don't fit right and didnt know if I needed a bigger amp for them once I get them in.
