Scruberducky Posted March 25, 2014 Report Posted March 25, 2014 I recently put two 12" rockford p2s in my car, they are running off a hifonics zrx 1200 monoblock. I'm getting the lights dimming, and kinda just trying to avoid any immediate future problems. So I'm just going to replace all stock stuff that'll go out, to get a jump on the game so to speak. My question is what do I need to plan to replace? I'm waiting on my optima yellowtop from the ups dude. I know I need a new alternator, where could I get a quality high output alternator? Thank y'all for any help! Bonus question: any suggestions for an LS swap in my chevrokia?
jarrius Posted March 25, 2014 Report Posted March 25, 2014 Alt= mech man ,dc power, singer Do the big3 in all ofc 1/0 wire. Run 1/0 to your amp with reducers. And get a more efficient amp, hifonics amps use a lot of power and do not put out rated power. But really for 1200rms a upgraded batt up front and big 3 should do it depending on stock alt size me thinks. 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
Scruberducky Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Posted March 25, 2014 Thanks a million bud. Looking into getting the big 3 now. What kind of amp would you suggest? I live my life by Murphy's law lol so the alternator has to be swapped eventually.
Scruberducky Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Posted March 25, 2014 I went and checked the alternator is an 80 amp so I think I need to upgrade to at least a 140 amp alternator.
jarrius Posted March 25, 2014 Report Posted March 25, 2014 It depends on if you plan on upgraiding in power again for the amp. And alt it never hurts to have overkill electrical just incase 1200w rms is not enough in the future. 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
