Omega5002 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Just to update... I did some testing on my way to work... The amp I am running is a pioneer gm5500t and it is has 820 watts... I had it running in stereo and the other day i changed it to bridged mon. The subs are 2 pioneer ts234r and they are 250 rms @ 4 ohms... Before I could turn my h/u up to 40-46/63 before dimming and now 35-40/63 dimming... I am thinking another battery will do the trick...Plus my wife agreed to let do the big 3 in the spring.... Oh 820 rms, that makes more sense on the lights dimming Yeah, 2nd battery, and big 3 should help definitely 2003 Kia Sorento Team Subsonic LowsTeam Bassin' on a Budget2016 Rebuild Under Construction Best score: 150.2 at 40hz (3k, 2 Custom HDC3 15's) Usaci style(door open, in the kick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.A.R.S. Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 160db the amp is only 400 RMS and 800 peak... But still my wife agreed to let me do somethings come this spring time... I am gonna do the big 3, a tune up, run 0 gauge to the trunk and get a red top battery for the trunk.... then rewire my entire car for the new h/u and second amp/ speakers I will be puting in around August or so...

M.A.R.S. Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I though his name was 160db I was telling Omega5002 an answer... The Pioneer GM5500T is a 400 Watt RMS/ 800 Peak.. I am thinking that I should get a gauge block changer to go from the larger gauge off my battery to a smaller and hook that up to the amp instead... I know that normally you wanna have the smallest run for a ground however I know there is a bolt in my truck on the back wall where the lights are is great... would that be an issue to use it is about 4' away... Also the battery is less than a month old.....
