Thanks guys. That ride looks sweet too. That's also the same type of setup I want to run. 2 15s on 5k.

it can happen..

the fact is, is there is some change here in ALT ..

this is where we are at now, with Bryan's build.

SINGER is trying to make one work, after 2 mechmans that failed from heat and other issues.

This platform IS HARD to make loud with mucho power

that said, we ran that DC 5k 2 3100's stock alt....at .7 for months.... OH it got HOT.. but... its still wanging.

He sold the amp and is going with a populus 6500, and again, is in talk with a alt builder to try and get one that will work.

That is where we are at......

wish you luck on your end.

Cool info man, what exactly is the problem with the alt situation? I want to only run 1, and was thinking of DC when I did mine. I don't know about .7 though, I will have another battery than what you guys did so I might be fine lmao

dc 5k wired down to .7

we saw voltage that was low.. but nothing that wouldnt make me keep going..

that said, ill let him talk on the mechman ALT deal... that.. that was before i met him.

we are in talks with another maker now.... and even he said it may be a bitch...

The problem lies in the pcm. It's very hard to make right but we believe singer can pull it off. Pcm makes a vehicle more fuel efficient as I understand. But don't hold me to it. Good luck and if you have any questions let us know.

Dude I will, thank! Cool to see a 3400 fits up front, I haven't measured my battery yet so didn't know. I will keep an eye on your stuff to see what happens with that alt. I don't want to be blowing a bunch of cash on alts lol, bitches aint cheap.

I have an 05 and you can run 2 runs under the large grommet below the steering stem. Pulled all the carpet up and ran both to the back. The negs I ran from the sub frame in the rear. There is also just enough room for two gotta dig but it's behind the plastic on the ds.

You really did that? that looks so sketchy to me running wire in there. Seems to small to run 2 1/0 through there. How did you even get the grommet off that attaches on the inside of the engine back to the fire wall?

I have a 2006 Escape. You can run 2 runs easy. I have one positive and negative going to my back battery. As for the alt on the older models, they're a pain in the ass. I have a 300 Amp Excessive Amperage on mine, took 8 hours to get the stock one out and the new one on. Definitely want to get the biggest you can so you don't have to mess with it again in the future.

My system I had before I sold to do a rebuild was a 3400 up front, 3 XS XP 3000s in the back with a DD M4 pushing 3 DC XL 15s wired @ .9, loved it.

2006 Ford Escape
Head Unit: Kenwood KDC 352
Subs: (3) 15" DC XL 15s with PSI recones, 1.4 ohm coils
Sub amp: DD Audio M4 (Black Version)
Door Speakers: (2) Crossfire 10s, (2) Hertz Coax.
Mid/highs amp: Rockford Fosgate P500-4

Electrical:
XS D3400 under the hood
(3) XS XP3000s in the back
2 runs of KnuKonceptz OFC 0 Gauge ran to the back (1 pos, 1 neg)
Excessive Amperage 300 amp alt (FINALLY!)
