HPI_Savage25 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Ok I am currently getting a Sundown 1200d. Right now my truck only has a 70 or a 90amp alternator on it which is probably going to be a joke with that amp being it is fused for 150amp. So could I get away with a 120 or 140?

IMO u are fine with ur stock alt. Just have enough battery to back up that particular amp and charge them periodically. If you upgrade later down the road look not getting a better alt.

SplPhreak Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 You'll be fine with just a batt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HPI_Savage25 Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Ok cool. Right now I have a duralast under the hood, brand new. 1000cranking amps but not sure on the other specs. Maybe just a rear batt? Any ways I can get more voltage easy? Also I can get a 120alt for like $200ish or just a battery.

Siete_Cinqo Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 just wait on the alt and an other battery like an hc2000 Quote Random vids of the Avalanche My link Team Bass-Hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HPI_Savage25 Posted May 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Hmmm. I will try and see but I know before even with just my Jenshit 300w amp and the Alpine 350w (total fused to 65amps) I believe I was having voltage issues because when I turned it up and it hit some of the harder notes it would cut out. Not sure if that was voltage probs or if that was due to my subs on the amp. Anyways I know I had that going on and that is why I asked. I did have a 5yr+ old battery in it at that time but I just put in a Duralast gold battery (1000CA) Quote Breaking in a sub is like breaking in your girl before you pound her....

HPI_Savage25 Posted May 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Not sure TBH. I will take a look tomorrow. I will probably pick up a 120amp alternator and then a decent dry cell battery for the back when I get the money. I was also running 1 run of 8awg to both amps with a splitter running 8 awg to the rear which didn't help any either. Quote Breaking in a sub is like breaking in your girl before you pound her....

HPI_Savage25 Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Well I found out I can get a Powermaster 140amp alternator for right at $200 which is a 1 wire setup? Also thinking of a MLA module. Think I would be good to go then..... Quote Breaking in a sub is like breaking in your girl before you pound her....
