zack_e89 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 It doesn't matter what amp you get. At the end of the day, you don't have the electrical to support 1200 watts - power hungry or not I would suggest you fix your electrical first. At a minimum: Big 3 Get the biggest AGM battery you can fit under the hood :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: dude its a 1200 watt amp do the big 3 youll be fine 12.3 isnt some kind of crazy drop buy a new battery if you really want but do the big 3 you shouldnt have much of an issue after that Every car is different....My car couldn't handle ~1000 rms with big 3 done. The big 3 may solve his problems.... In my opinion, you should do the big 3 and see if it helps. If not, you'll probably just want to get a new alternator and agm batt and have a nice, beefy electrical...especially if you're wanting to upgrade in the future.

lazie420 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 sheena i am running a brz 1700 in my 90 civic with a ebay hi amp alt and 0awg wire and the big 3 and my voltage doesnt drop below 13.3 at idle full tilt. chech my build and see what i have my alt was like 100.00 with shipping that is a cheap upgrade and yealds alot. and the hifonics amps are not that power hungry. reboom on here has the brz1200 and a big three in 4awg and the voltage barely drops at all and before we did the big 3 his lights almost dimmed out .
