SnowDrifter Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 You don't NEED an upgraded alt, but one wouldn't hurt either Quote ~~~~~~~~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...
Pro7 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 D5100 to replace your up front one should be good enough. If you want a 2nd also anything bigger than a d975 would be excessive unless you plan to upgrade later Quote I've gotten a blowjob and picked up my iphone behind her back to see what email notification I got from smd before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disprovable Posted January 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I mean, if it makes a big difference i can live with only 1200 watts. What would be needed to run just 1200? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disprovable Posted January 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 So just the D5100 up front under the hood should be enough to efficiently run the 1700 watts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pro7 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Atleast with my experience it should. I ran 1500w off of a d1200 and only dropped to 13.8v Quote I've gotten a blowjob and picked up my iphone behind her back to see what email notification I got from smd before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Run an XS Power, yellow top etc up front for starters. After that add batts in the trunk so you can handle more watts. You will reach a point where you need a H/O alt as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disprovable Posted January 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I think ima settle for 1700 for now x] Maybe worry about upgrading later on, but for 1700 i should be good with 1 D5100 up front under the hood? Awesome. Also, what gauge wire should i run? Would 0 GA make that much of a difference at this wattage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
