David Mears Posted August 6, 2013 Report Posted August 6, 2013 I have a hifonics colossus which needs 14.4 volts to be exactly 3200 rms. Im getting around 12.7-13.11 depending on how well my batterys are charged, length played ect, so im only getting like 2500-2700 rms. But I know this isnt healthy for the amp. I have an hc2000 and an hc 2400(this ones hooked to the amp) and it all has zero gauge, and proper grounds. I know I need an alt, but i have an old acura legend , so the bigger alts wont fit, according to mechman, without fabrication. I dont see all this money, and money for fbrication being worth it for a few hundred watts. Id rather use the money for a new amp lol. I know its not good to mask a problem, but does anyone have any tips or suggestions to make it better

David Mears Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Posted August 6, 2013 So as long as I have above 12.7 I should be fine , with the amp not blowing up lol. And I havent called dc, but I know there is only like one alt made for my car and its only 200 amps, if that and its 600 bucks. No way haha Id rather invest in a diff, sub/box/ wall set up
David Mears Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Posted August 6, 2013 Do you guys thing these extra 1.7 volts will really give my sub more umph?

David Mears Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Posted August 7, 2013 Lol thats like a 20 percent increase in power, for round 600 bucks, its worth a shot though!

Lol thats like a 20 percent increase in power, for round 600 bucks, its worth a shot though! You will ever get problem´s with your tiny alt and the wattage that you have. A normal alt have a reserve of 20-30%+. Your amp can draw 300 amps, in reality he draw´s 150-200 amps. This is much more than your alt can do. Your batt´s give you a reserve, but with this wattage you will have them all vew day´s on the charger. If you only go with your batt´s go down to max. 1.5 K watt RMS. And still could it be that you get after a playtime voltage issues. Without a bigger alt there is normaly a reserve of 20-40 amp´s, what is enough for a normal used 700 watt amp.
