KICKER75 Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Ok so this is what I have, 2 kicker 2 ohm dvc 10 inch L5s,2 alpine m-500 amps for the subs, My lights do not dim whatsoever with only one sub running. But I want to hook them both up with their own amp. I’m sure this will dim the lights. So should I hook up another battery in the trunk?or use a cap? And if I hook up another battery should I run both subs off the secondary battery or one off the main one off the secondary. Also do I need a special battery for this or can I use a deep cycle battery as I have a brand new one from my boat. Thanks in advance for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XSVTOYZ Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 twalker is right I had a single jbl gtx and was sure a 2nd would dim the lights I hooked up the 2nd once I stopped clipping I dont dim the lights anymore and my alt is 80 amps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron36 Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 What ohm load You gonna run with 2 dual 2ohm subs it’s either.5 or 2ohms. At half ohm I doubt your amp will hang and go into protect and at 2ohms your loosing half the power on your amp . 2022 Ford Maverick on 22’s Skar SK1500.1 on 4 Skar VD-8’s Mids Sundown Super tweeters, Skar TX 6.5 components on Skar SKM400.4 LC2 for audio control , XS Power D680 XS Series Extra Battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XSVTOYZ Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 ok what car is this?? what amp is your alt? do the big 3 in as heavy of gauge you can afford, 0g ofc is recommended run 4g power minimum 4g ground ofc like I said I have a pair of jbl gtx at 2ohm on skar vd-10 and with one it was fine and with 2 I am still fine maybe a slight dim at idle at max output but its not enough to worry me I see my volts go from 14.1 down to 13.5 then bounce up to 14.3 and settle back to 14.1 this is at night during the day its less my truck idles at 500 rpm (supercharger drags it down) and a stock 80amp alt (which is considered the lowest output standard) if you are concerned get a big battery and quality connections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KICKER75 Posted January 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 It’s a 94 z-24 not sure os the output of alternator,I think I’ll take your advice and do the big 3 up grade,and hook everything up and see how it goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twalker182 Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 I don't think those amps are 1 ohm stable.....so you're gonna have to run each amp at 4 ohms. That's only a 600 watt draw....you'll be fine. 2010 Accord Sedan XS D3400R Clarion HU Sundown mids and highs Incriminator amps Incriminator Lethal Injection 12" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
