big 3 + amp + battery questions

[Brent Anderson]

questions I have about doing the big 3

im soon going to get a DC alt for my santa fe 2004 this summer that place out 320 amps max.

im looking into 1/0 gauge wire form alt to battery now. I did mostly all the grounding and now looking at the alt. my question is if it is worth paying 3x more to get the 90% copper if im just using about 900 rms right now only with my subs and going to be doing 2000-4000 rms soon.

1 stock battery in front.

1 1200 kentik battery in the back

5.0 cap

kenwood kac-9105D powering 2 type R 10s 1000 rms each 3000 peak

kenwood kac-8405 powering 4 kenwood kfc-xp184c speakers and 2 kenwood excelon kfc-x693 speakersright now.

yeah I know nothing big but its what I can buy at the time.

stuff im needing to look into with a help from you guys/ girls

i want to replace my stock starter battery and find good wire for under 700 if can be done and shipped to me in Canada

as well what type of amp would be good to get close to 2000 rms and whats the best bang for the dollar as well on an amp. Canada don't have much up were im at to get anything good. i just build up my credit i can finaly buy better stuff online so im looking now .

I don't know about shipping cost bur for 700 you can find a couple batteries. I bought my XS Power 3400 and 3100 for less than that. As for your wire, yes get OFC. You can do CCA but once you upgrade to more power you will want to upgrade your wire also. No reason to buy crap wire now just to replace it later. Or if you did CCA you would need to do more runs. I have had both before. would get ofc but that's me.

any idea on amps for a good bang for the doller mmets?

You're new so don't take offence to this but sell the Kenwood 9105d as soon as you can. You will have issues with it guaranteed. The 4 channel they make is decent but if you get 4k for bass alone you will probably need at least a 125x4 for mids to keep up at all.

I can't recommend brands cause it just causes argunments.

no offence taken strangeduck. im still learning as to the fact i just went from the kicker comps to type R's and i see what your talking about when i replaced my 500 rms kenwood to the 900. i feel and hear what your saying.
