mrj32159 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Posted September 22, 2012 I have a 2003 Pontiac Sunfire and I am putting in two RE Audio SE-X 15's with a Hifonics HFI 1500 watt amp ill be running the subs at 1 ohm... Questions are what gauge wire should i do for my amp, will i have to upgrade my battery or alternator the alternator is 105 amp and a stock battery, and lastly what gauge wire should i do for the Big 3.
WastedTalent Posted September 22, 2012 Report Posted September 22, 2012 Yes you need to. 0 gauge wherever you can. Upgrade your battery for sure, possibly 2. 1500 RMS amp? Might not need an alt... depends on if you play full tilt long. If you do/want to, then yes. But if no and you keep it down, then should be fine. If lights start dimmin or voltage drops, then yes. But upgrade those batts and I don't think you'd necessarily NEED an alt. Would be beneficial without a doubt. Sheena = pedobear
mrj32159 Posted September 22, 2012 Author Report Posted September 22, 2012 What size battery would i need to get if im getting two?
WastedTalent Posted September 22, 2012 Report Posted September 22, 2012 Big as you can get. I know that helps none but typically, people get the same size battery as they have already for under the hood, since most don't wanna do a custom battery tray or can't cause of room. Then the other one, they usually go with the biggest they can afford or get. Sheena = pedobear
mrj32159 Posted September 22, 2012 Author Report Posted September 22, 2012 The battery in my price range would be a kinetic 1800 watt.. I usually buy from amazon.com
soundstream15 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Posted September 22, 2012 Big 3 1/0 Kineitk or xs power in the back Maybe a front battery That amp doesn't put out rated man

Nikitaaa Posted September 22, 2012 Report Posted September 22, 2012 The hifi will do like 1k. You can get away with just big 3 in 0/1 with stock battery. If you want overkill or are beefing up, add/upgrade a battery/alternator. Unless you plan on upgrading in the future, 4 gauge power/ground should handle the amperage from that hifonics quite easily. 2007 M/T Honda Civic Coupe EX (4) Sundown Audio X-8's (2) Ampere Audio 3800.1's (3) Stinger SPV-44 Batteries (1) Mechman 240 3:1 Ratio 4th order sealed from the trunkTEAM NWSPLBest termlab scores to date in Honda trunk:151.7db legal (official) IASCA trunk 3 classBest termlab scores to date in my walled Subie:152.9db legal (unofficial) IASCA advanced 2 class155db outlaw
soundstream15 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Posted September 22, 2012 Lol Big 3 is an always but if you wanna throw a second battery in the back then go for it. Depending on your budget
RooTxBeeR Posted September 22, 2012 Report Posted September 22, 2012 You don't need 2 batteries for 1k-1.5k. Do big 3 and runs to the back in 1/0 and you should be fine. If not, an upgraded front battery should be fine.
