Mr. Clapp Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Any advice/recommendations are appreciated. Planning out a new system build for my 2001 Ford Escape. The new system will include two soundqubed 18's (HDC3s or HDC4s if I can find them for the right price) in a 12 cube ported box. For amps I'm either going to strap two CAB 1600s or just get a taramps 8K. My question is whether one XS Power d3400 will be enough (along with a d1200) or should I go for the d3100. I have a stock alternator (110 amps) without the big 3 upgrade with 0 gauge welding cable from front to back. Current system has a kicker KX 2400.1 (2600 watts rms) with a XS Power d1200.

WalledSonic Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 I ran a 6K with a 240A singer alt and 395Ah of XS battery and I couldnt play full tilt at idle more than about 20seconds without needing to increase the RPMs. And I had rise that started at 1.3ohm.

Mr. Clapp Posted November 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Voltage with my current setup rarely drops below 12 volt with everything turned up. I know that will change when i double or triple the power output. I'm trying to stay away from a H/O alternator and won't using the max potential of the amps I have. Plan on making a big system to use for a few months before I move off to college, afterwards everything will be removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
