ISO Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 (edited) I am gettin impatient. I can now run test tones without a major voltage drop. My current system is: All 1/0 guage wiring 140 amp alt missing link module comming this week 2 Stinger Power2 SP1000 batteries 1 Sundown SAX-100.2 for mids and tweets. 1 RF 1501BD on 2 2006 Kicker L7s I can now do test tones without any major voltage drops. Who would feel comfertable adding a 2nd RF 1501BD and 2 more L7 10s with this setup for music? I know its not ideal but who here that knows what there talking about would go for it. I'm looking at 180 amps of current into music at clipping. (Test tones would be 280 amps of current but I don't drive around listening to test tones.LOL) Who thinks I should go for it? Or should I wait? Edited May 18, 2008 by ISO Quote Isobaric - Refers to the practice of coupling two drivers together to make them act as one.

Everything else appears to be sufficient for what you're trying to do. What are you impatient about? I'm impatient becuase, I already own everything else except the High Output Alt and being profesional I would tell someone else to hold off till their electrical was up to par. I already know I won't handle 4 L7 10s at clipping at all times but when I want it to thump I don't want to get embarresed. This is all going in a Chevy single cab pickup.(no cut through) option 2: If I can get 6 cubic feet behind the seat I could actually drop 500 watts. I could do 2 of the biggest ported boxes Kicker offers, 1 per 10 inch L7 and go from my 2003 RF 1501BD to a 2002 RF 1000BD and be louder than hell but I would like to stay sealed. I like sub-sonics. LOL Thanks Steelcity Edited May 18, 2008 by ISO Quote Isobaric - Refers to the practice of coupling two drivers together to make them act as one.

Thats good. I have aready decided what I will do about an alt. Untill I learn more about H.O.s I will probbly go with another stock CS130 built to 140 amps witch would be a total of 280 amps of current.( I don't have A/C) At the moment I don't trust HOs for daily drivers. I need to do more research before I fully rely on them for daily use. My biggest probblem rite now is work is slowing down so I need to start stashing money back for acouple months. When I got plenty of work I'm averageing $450 aweek if I have to go back to work for someone else I'm lookin at $300 aweek after taxes.

ISO Posted May 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Steelcity do you think I should go ahead and install everything?

SteelCityGhost Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Steelcity do you think I should go ahead and install everything? I wouldn't connect a 3rd amp on that alternator, otherwise you'll risk your car stalling out, and you WILL get embarrassed. I only have 2 amps on my system, and can't even get the volume more than halfway up w/out voltage drops. I can't imagine what 3 amps would do. Wait to see how the module that you ordered works first, then if you feel like you have enough voltage, then add those additional subs and amp.
