Andrew Posted December 24, 2006 Report Posted December 24, 2006 Ok, I had alot of financial setbacks in the past month so I have lil dollars to my name. My question is.... Will my Honda Civic (daily driver) be ok running 1100 watts on the stock alt. if I upgrade the battery to a good one like a Kinetik hc1400? If so, will I be able to add a small 4 channel amp later if I want to? I cant afford to upgrade both and wont be able to save for it for a while due to insurance payments coming up. I just bought me a 15" S.I. Mag and I'm powering it with a Memphis MC1000d (2 x 40 amp fuses) and I like to listen to my music at 3/4 volume so it's loud and low... Will I be good to go? New project in the works
Dale Posted December 25, 2006 Report Posted December 25, 2006 I'm guessing your stock alt is around 70 AMPs hot. I would say that with a good battery or 2, you might be able to get by just fine...(might) I would invest in a H/O alt. but I understand you're low on cash so do the battery.
Guest MegaloManiac Posted December 25, 2006 Report Posted December 25, 2006 mags are cool where did you buy it, pics? post a new thread about..thanks I have a 2000 accord and my stock alty had a 65a hot. My lights dimmed like a mofo off just 1200 watts(i didnt have a front stage at the time), had a yellow top under hood a 2nd battery should help, but an HO alty should help a lot more.
Andrew Posted December 26, 2006 Author Report Posted December 26, 2006 Thanks man, the mag is supposed to come in sometime this week... There was a mix up though with the measurements of my trunk and I've built 2 boxes for it now and neither will fit... go figure. So now I'm trying to contact Nick from SI when it gets here to see if I can switch it out for the 12". If thats going to be a problem I'll just sell it, prob. for a little less then I paid. I purchased it from Kevin at Low Hz. You think 1 optima red top under the hood and a yellow in the trunk will be suffice for the 1100 watts? I really wont be able to afford the Alt. for a while due to being 17 and having to save for my insurance, it's not easy lol. If I could I want to pull off a budget Steve Meade haha, I wish.

Guest MegaloManiac Posted December 26, 2006 Report Posted December 26, 2006 i think it should be fine, try it with 1 battery and see then ifit still does it then get add the battery
mtxcivic07 Posted December 27, 2006 Report Posted December 27, 2006 haha.. you wont be able to do 1100 watts off your 75 amp MAX alt. believe me i tried. i have a civic as well i bought a 135 amp alternator and a yellowtop and kinetik hc800 and its finally ok... 18's in a wall to come....Its not all about the posts....check the member #...
Andrew Posted January 4, 2007 Author Report Posted January 4, 2007 Does anyone know the going rate to get your alt. rebuilt? New project in the works
