dkindle613 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 even adding a second stock alt would be better than a cheap ebay alt..

Miguels Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 how are your subs wired and what ohms are they my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguels Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 actually you need to know what you really want, this is like wanting to build a hot rod and not willing to spend money on fuel. there really is no point on what you are trying to do, either you upgrade was needed or get like a 200 wttt amp to be able to use your stock alternator. anything over 1000 watts is asking for a small electrical upgrade. for the aq2200 you can do with 200a alt and 2 big batteries not small like you have my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassaddiction Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 i have 800 watts rms just in mid's and hi's and gain set to little over half on aq amp so its like 2000 watts all together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguels Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 wire that sub to 4 ohms and half gain dont mean anything. it can be all the way down ans still give you rated rms. it all has to do with the signal the head unit sends my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAM5493 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 wire that sub to 4 ohms and half gain dont mean anything. it can be all the way down ans still give you rated rms. it all has to do with the signal the head unit sends X2. wire it to 4ohms. It makes your amp way more efficient and won't draw nearly as much current. you could do this until you get an alt that would hold up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
