Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a 2000 chevy impala currently all stock electrical. I have 2 sa12 running off a hifionics glx1800.1d at a 1 ohm load. I kno I need upgrade because my old system 2 10" with alpine v power 500 watt lights dimmed pretty bad... Where should I start??

after big 3, next would be a grp34 (if it fits) AGM battery under the hood. then the next step would be your alternator, after that you have a pretty good foundation to expand with

If you need to know what kind of battery fits your car; a quick way to search is to go on crutchfield and just enter your vehicle specs. They will tell you the correct size battery that will fit in the stock battery tray, however if you are looking for the most power,you could always get an aftermarket tray and put some huge battery under the hood. What I would do in order is: Big 3, second battery, new under hood battery, then HO alternator, and whatever else after that depending on how large of a scale you plan on going.
