Ahmed Johnson Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Do you have the big 3 done? Plus with 1400 rms and the money you are trying to spend you probably could get away with rebuilding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr DeeBeez Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 i know those companies are good, but me and my girlfriend just moved into our own place so money is kinda tight. i do have the big 3 done. how much do you think it would be to rebuild it?

jarrius Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 it depends. also you need to look and see if you do rebuild it that the case can handle the new heat load you are going to put with it and not self destruct. 2012 Chevy sonic1xSQ HDC3 12 D2RF R1200d 140 square foot of Q-Mat(soon to be installed) 140.2Db sealed on the dash with TL 142 DB sealed on the dash with another meter (was dead on with the TL at a show i was at) 141 on music. strangeduck,on 02 Jan 2014 - 01:39 AM, said: when my car spins out i just put the car in neutral, turn in the direction i want to go and pucker my asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr DeeBeez Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 ok. so ballpark a price. 100? and this all sounds really complicated. is it something i could do? or take it to a shop? sorry im new to this. not to car audio, but to a lot of the electrical upgrades Fi Team 18's (4) Crossfire 16k Crossfire 400.4 & 800.4 Pioneer AVH-X491bhs 140ah cmax CES 320's (2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmed Johnson Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 It's not that much to rebuild. It all depends on who you go to. Every rebuilt alternator I had came with a bigger case. Go ahead and do it, you aren't running that much power anyways. Or get another battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr DeeBeez Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 i think rebuilding it would be cheaper. i have a kinetic under hood.

Ahmed Johnson Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Maybe a little more. Where do you live? The last time I had one rebuilt it cost around 120. If you have'nt done it before leave it to the pro's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmed Johnson Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 I see you're in WIsconsin. How far from Chicago are you? Most of the shops I checked into over here charges a dollar and change for every amp added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
