SixTwoRado Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Yah I always research the crap out of stuff for my truck. I just keep mentioning DC because they are the only ones that actually list my truck on their site and have an alternator they say fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixTwoRado Posted October 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Still been researching seems a lot of guys on here and around are running systems of similar power with no high output alternator. Mean green e-mailed me back and told me to order their alternator MG11119, but I need to get more info about it and the price. So Im waiting for an email back. They didnt say if it was a direct fit or not and what the specs are, but they told me that was the one to get. I cant see that part number on their website anywhere though.

99Eternal Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 I'm running two level 4m2 15's off a DC 3.5k at 1 ohm in my tiny little cobalt. Stock alt (90-130amp not sure), XS D3400, all 1/0 welding cable. Mind you, if I want to I can drop down into 12's within a couple mins of full tilt lows, but I can not beleive how well my electrical is handling this amp (I think i owe that to the XS battery and 1/0). I was thinking I'd at least need a second batt and probably an alt but nope, maybe eventually but for now I am good to go. My advice - do the 1/0 power and ground first for sure, and upgrade your battery to an XS if you only have stock right now. Then install your stuff, see how your electrical handles it. Just watch your voltage very carefully. Upgrade electrical as required to your desired output/capacity. 08 Chevy Cobalt LS Coupe, Black DC Soundlabs 3.5K2x DC Level 4m2 15's @ 1 ohm31hz designed by chevysub4x4spl 1x XS Power D3400 Stock Alt (mechman soon) 60ft 1/0 Copper Welding Cable Alt, Batt, and Amp Power & All Grounds are 1/0 Copper 50 sq ft B-Quiet Ultimate & Cans of Spray Foam JVC KD-A625 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99Eternal Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Oh and sorry to double post but to contact Mechman email [email protected] with all your info he should get back to you within a dayish. I honestly don't think you will need the alt though. Definitely wouldn't hurt but definitely not required. Worst case if you do require one, you'll need the 1/0 and extra battery anyways, you'll beable to bump pretty hard on that until you get your alt, if you even end up wanting one. Good luck with your upgrades! 08 Chevy Cobalt LS Coupe, Black DC Soundlabs 3.5K2x DC Level 4m2 15's @ 1 ohm31hz designed by chevysub4x4spl 1x XS Power D3400 Stock Alt (mechman soon) 60ft 1/0 Copper Welding Cable Alt, Batt, and Amp Power & All Grounds are 1/0 Copper 50 sq ft B-Quiet Ultimate & Cans of Spray Foam JVC KD-A625 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixTwoRado Posted October 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Alright thanks man. It sounds like I might be too worried about it haha. So for now Im just going to plan on doing all 1/0 and getting the XS battery, then down the road Ill get a H/O alternator if I really think I want it.

SixTwoRado Posted October 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 So anyone else got input on this. Working on a box design still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Should be fine. Get a volt meter and have some smarts. Watch your voltage and you will be fine. I ran 3.5k at a half ohm on a stock 140 with no issues lol. No I am not crazy, but I did keep an eye on my voltage and had some common sense ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixTwoRado Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Yah I already have a volt meter in the dash. The official plan now is an SA-12 D2 in a ported box that I am still working on. A SAZ1000d at 1,000 watts 1 ohm. Big 3 in zero gauge, and all new zero gauge ofc to the amps. And an xs power D2400. Hoping it works out ok. Ill tune it with my DD-1 as well. I play my system at full tilt a lot though so might have to buy the high output alternator eventually. Which is the 270 amp DC Power XP series haha. Then Ill just want to upgrade more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixTwoRado Posted October 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Hey guys if anyone else with a Nissan Frontier, Xterra, or titan is having the same issue as me and wondering about the voltage regulator. Here is a video I just found that shows exactly what Im talking about. Looks like you can fit a 2 gauge wire through it at least. I wish I could do 1/0 though. We'll see. It looks like there might be room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
