How much do I need to upgrade my electrical?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I ran my aq2200's bass knob today and it has the clipping indicator and it was going crazy so I turned my gain down(which wasn't even halfway) and from what I understand its my electrical sucking and I know it does because its stock and my battery is about done so my question is what all do I need to do to be able to push around 1300-1400 watts without clipping so bad. Would one good battery under the hood do it?

Just 1 2200? What size is your alt? I would say start with the big 3 and as big as batt as you can fit under the hood and go from there...maybe down the rd add another batt in the back

Yea just one 2200 but my battery is terrible right now so ill see how it goes after I can get a hold of a new one. And I'm really not positive because I haven't found it online but its a 2009 Camry se and its the 4 banger

biggest new batt up front. big 3. and probably want another batt in the back. but its ultimately i think at this point when you should be in the market for a HO alt

I'm really trying to stay away from an HO alt. like I said I just want about 1300 clean watts out of it

i have a 2002 camry running a crescendo bc2000d no problem.

big 3 upgrade, agm battery under the hood(i have a diehard platinum), 0awg wiring, kinetik 1800 in the trunk.

voltage stays nice and high.

edit: at this point you dont need a h/o alt, and dont forget to stay away from caps:)

How did you set your gain? Cause halfways means nothing

Good ole digital multi meter method. Only set it for around 1200 watts and then turned it down even more.

I've read here that the clipping indicators aren't very acurrate maybe it's just that

But still upgrading electrical is good

Well I think you'll be fine with big batt under the hood and big 3. If you see more drop than you like then add another batt
