97SSBlazer Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I will soon be purchasing a NICE alternator. I need something that will power my T2500-1bdCP and T1000-4. Last year I had a small shop build me a 200 Amp unit that did fine while I was @ 2Ohm but now that I'm @ 1Ohm it just isn't enough. I had my eye on a DC PRO 280 Amp unit. DC no longer lists this unit for my car due to fitment issues . Now pretty much my only option is a 270XP if I go with them. I have seen a few people using "AD244" style alts on the GM late model FWD V6's though. I know you get what you pay for but on paper the 280PRO was just as good as the 270XP and 230.00 cheaper. Will a single 270 XP be enough for my amps? I called DC they sounded very busy and didn't wanna talk much... Quote lower tuning is just hard. I was surprised how loud 145 sounds at 35hz, and how quiet 145 sounds at 50hz. -= 2005 Tahoe LT =-Head unit: Pioneer AVH-X5500BHSSource: iPad Mini in dash Subs: 2 T1 12's Sub Amp: T1500-1bdCPWire: Rockford Fosgate 1/0 awgSignal Cable: MonsterFronts:Stock Bose for now:)Rears: Stock Bose for now:)MIds/High amp: Stock Bose for now:) 2005 Tahoe Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/172529-2005-tahoe-my-17th-vehicle/ 2001 Monte Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/160030-2001-monte-carlo-my-16th-car-lol/page-2#entry25309381997 Tahoe Build Log: http://www.stevemead...oe-6-15-rf-15s/2001 Impala Build Log: http://www.stevemead...katzkin-inside/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__d_a_v_i_d__ Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 DC 270xp for my 03 impala, 3.8L. v6.. sundown 3k 0.5. never dropped below 14v full tilt on music!! you can see at the end of the vid my voltage. had both 3ks strapped with gains down though,at 2ohms. didnt drop below 13.5 did cost me a pretty penny, but i dont regret it. I do however, regret not painting it, maybe later on. sold my 3ks though...

97SSBlazer Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Im kinda thinking about the 270XP but I dont wanna overpay If i dont have too. Mechman is goos isnt he? His site doesnt list hot output. I have heard the 270XP will do 300+ HOT Quote lower tuning is just hard.

RickyFriery97 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I've heard Great things about the 270xp You could also look into singer alts. He quoted me a awesome price for a 350 amp unit that does 200+ at idle Quote 2014 Chevy Silverado Crewcab 1994 Chevy Full Size blazer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
