Skar Audio sk-3500 power hungry?


Recommended Posts

Hello all I drive a 2015 malibu 2.5l and Im going to install a Skar sk3500d and try to run off stock alt because an upgraded alt is a little out of my price range at this time. So with that being said does anyone have any solutions to keeping voltage up while running this Power hungry amp?

If your gonna run high power you gotta have a high power supply. With a mids highs amp your probly lookn at 4k total. Your gonna need a ho alt with at least 2 big reserve batts. Have u looked at the rp3500 from skar? Would save u some money towards the alt.

yeah Im looking now online I have already purchased an SK3500 but whats the difference? Im on Skar website and specs look the same if not a little better on the RP   so Im confused as to why the sk is $120 more expensive?

Keep the sk. Way better parts and build house. Same manufacturer (S&I) but rp is Chinese and sk is Korean. You need an alt and at least 2 AGM batteries (starter and system dedicated) to run an amplifier capable of pulling 250+ amps of current. That's more than double your alternator rating alone. Gotta pay to play... Literally.
