s5300 Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Hey all - Looking to get 3000W RMS (2 1500's) worth of subs soon. I already have a 600W amp in the system for other speakers though I'm sure it never really takes that much. I currently have an autocraft battery http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/autocraft-gold-battery-group-size-96r-590-cca-96r-3/2130020-P#fragment-2 and a 150 Amp alt. I assume that won't be able to hold up near full tilt for more than a few minutes I also plan (well, will be) on putting a XS D3100. What amperage am I probably wanting for an aftermarket alt? My current options are 240A, 300A, and 370A from $500-700 (Singer/JS Ultimate) I've done the math, but I'd like to get some of your guys's input. Thanks!

C-Fizzy Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Honestly with the 150 amp and maybe 2 d3100's you should be able to hold in the 13's. But if I were you I would upgrade to the biggest alt you can afford because we always want more eventually. under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy?

s5300 Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Getting the biggest I could was actually the plan - Singer said this to me tho. http://prntscr.com/a3fey9 I'm pretty sure my Lincoln Zephyr idles @ 1000 tho, so it should be fine from where he was going with it. The only reason I strayed away - do I not need more battery power than that D3100 and my current battery? I thought that I would. That being said - If I get a 370A, do I even need the D3100 (obv it is better, but money, yo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Fizzy Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I would replace your starting battery with a d3100 anyway, but no I don't think you will need a secondary. under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy?

DubNDodge Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I like having a secondary in the rear because I can use it as a distribution center.
