ANTMANTHAKID305 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Ok so i own a 2001 VW Jetta Wagon 2.0 and i want to add more bass but the problem is already at 1.5-2k watts my voltage is super low and my capacitor reads about 10-11 on average but I've seen it get to 9 when my bass was slamming but i know that's a horrible reading my question is... would i have enough space to fit 2 alternators under my hood??? And would two alternators do the job of powering something huge??? Also does anyone know where i can find a H/O alternator for my car??? I'm still going to upgrade to a deep cycle marine battery and do the big 3 upgrade and upgrade my capacitor... My goal is to buy either buy 2 Rockford T2's or 2 SSA ZCON 15's. Now with all that said it should do the trick to power either of them properly right??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now with all that said it should do the trick to power either of them properly right??? Okay, first thing...Scrap the capacitor. Its not helping you. Secondly, do the big 3 with good connections and good wire. Then test again and see where your voltage stands. If its still dropping below 12v then I would think about getting a upgraded alternator, there is no need for you to use more than one alternator for that little power. Upgrading your battery under the hood will help a lot as well. Also if you want "more bass" look into your box design. I'm assuming you are using a prefab box, making your own or having someone make you a custom box will greatly increase your output.

There are a few different companies that are as good and BETTER than both of those companies. Quit with the nuthugging.

TRTC360 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 In this car audio world there is always something.better than the other, with that being said xs has been put up against other top batt companies and came out on top. As for alternators look.up mechman, dc power, ohio generator, mike singer, excessive amperage. Singer alternators can be had for a very fair price too.

n8ball2013 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 xs has been put up against other top batt companies and came out on top. Lets see them compared to northstar. northstar didnt have a car specific battery until just recently. They were meant to power uninterruptible power supplies. They were never designed to be rapidly discharged and then recharged. not to mention how ginormous they are can be a bitch to fit anywhere.

Same size as a d3100 I believe. It will (and does) put any other group 31 battery on the market to shame lol Quote Audio Technix Online Customer Service Specialist [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
