mrrairai Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I'm not familiar with the amps so I'm not sure what size power wire they take but I would run a 0 gauge off the batt into a distribution block and then run power wires to the amps for starters. What kind of stock batt do you have? Probably not tho. Also upgrade your big three.

I suggest getting atleast a 200amp HO alt and 2 hc2400.

RamenNoodles Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 4000 watts will actually rape your lights lol. You need to do some serious electrical work before you go installing everything. I learned the hard way on my first install. Dropped the volts down WAY too low and caused clipping. The voltage dropped to around 10.8 by accident. The clipping will heat up the internals of your subwoofer and eventually blow it/them. Dont half ass the electrical. You will probably want to put around 1000$ into just the electrical of your car with an alternator, batteries, cable, terminals, etc. Quote Diablo Audio Technologies Fi Car Audio Ascendant Audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest getting atleast a 200amp HO alt and 2 hc2400. Jeez that's pretty heavy duty in my opinion... I had a 4.5kwrms system running off a stock alt and a single 8 year old yellowtop! Yes I had some voltage issues but I'm pretty sure if I had a new Yellowtop it wouldn't have been much of a problem. If I remember right meade once had about 5000wrms off 1 yellowtop, stock alt and 2 RF 40F caps. Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
