Have a small amount of cash and need to get my electrical right. Was wondering if I could get some opinions from all you experienced guys out there. I have 2 amps each wired to 1 ohm at 3000rms (6000total). Running a stock alt at 140amps and have 2 flooded marine batteries(120ah) in back and starter battery up front. Obviously I am way underpowering these amps which in turn is causing heat throughout the system and a little coil smell. Question is where do I go from here? I have about $450 to spend currently and didn't know if I should start replacing the flooded batteries with agms, adding agms with the flooded, or getting an affordable alt. I hear so many different things and I could really use your guidance. This is my first post so be easy. We are all on here for the same reason... we love bass!!! :rofl2:

Definitely an alternator. For $450 you won't be getting anything near 320 or 370. You could get probably a 270 from Singer for that much.

See, I posted something similar to this recently on my Facebook page and almost everybody said get a bank of batteries. I've been pulling my hair out over all of this!!! Wish I could buy it all but a mortgage and a 3 year old makes it tough

Lower the load until you can properly supply the current. I'd also double check if everything has been set correctly as coils could be a sign of other issues

Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

if i bought a 6k watt rms audio system first thing i would do is h/o alt and big 3, im surprised your car doesnt stall out when the bass hits with 6k watts on a stock alt. your going to end up clipping your amp and blowng your subs if you dont do a upgrade soon.
