Maybe You Guys Can Help Me Out

[CallMeTy]

i have a 1999 nissan altima (gxe). i already have alpine cda9887 HU. im in the process of purchasing alpine type x 6.5 components (spx-17REF) for the front doors and type r coax's (spr-17c) for the rear. The components will be ran off the pdx2.150 and the rears off the HU. in the trunk is 2 type r 15's (1542) ran off a pdx1.1000. im thinking about adding a optima YT to the list. should i? right now i think i have an autocraft. i know my system may not be as loud as some of you guys (or powerful) so should i add a new alteranator? if so which would be a good choice? im trying to get the most out of my setup so are my amp choices good? will the pdx1.1000 be enough for the two 15's? what im looking is for excellent sql in the cabin and at the same time when i pul up to a stop light i want the other cars to say"what does he have in that trnk." but i think my main concern is should i invest in a new battery and alternator(which one). i hope this makes sense i just woke up,lol.

It might appear to me that you still have that "annoying kid mentality" I dont understand why people make there stereos loud at a light. I have (what I consider a very loud setup) and NEVER make my shit loud at a light...EVER! It is annoying to people, rude, and you never know if a popo is near. Back to the question at hand here: I dont know what your stock alt is amperage wise, but personally your not using alot of watts/amps yet to "NEED" a HO alt, but in turn IT IS NEVER A BAD IDEA TO HAVE ONE CAUSE IN THE FUTURE IT CAN COME INTO PLAY. I would buy a Yellowtop/kenitic/power master batt for the rear, alond with 0/1ga wire to parellel it with the front batt. THat will help out ALOT for you RIGHT NOW, and if money is ok for you right now, look into a MLA module (this is where the shit goes down in combo with multi batts) I can knock for a while and still sustain 15.2v (im running dual alts, 2 D3100's, and 1 redtop underhood, and a 15.3v MLA) G/L with what you do, and dont piss off people (unless your demoing of course) cause you will give us people bad reps......

x2, even with myself having a system, its extremely annoying to have someone beating at a stoplight next to you.

i would recommend figuring out how much your alt is pushing out 1st...if your only pushing 1000w then i would recomnd the batt... upgrading an alt is very costly and can have complications.... ive seen it first hand... ive talked to guys who are pushing 3200w and charging 3 batteries on a stock alt... if your altima isnt your daily driver And you have a lot of money to speed then go ahead for the alt...

wait i only said that so you guys can get a feel for what im looking for. this is my first system but i know what im looking to achieve and i was just trying to get that across. but its cool though im not tripping, you guys cant read my mind,lol. i was trying to keep it all alpine but if you guys got better suggestions i would like to hear them. but i really want some major spl coming out the trunk so im looking for the right sub/amp combo. also trying to stick with 15's

this is my cardomain page so you can see what i was planning better

Your question is a "LOADED" one. What I like, might not be what you like, you know what I mean? If you want my opinion, I love my F.I BL's 18"ers, and my US AMPS MD3D's combo. Gets very loud, AND CLEAR. People here love F.I/DC/DD/etc..... So throw up what your limit is, and we can point you in the right direction. Your alpine amp now (1000watt correct) PDX series is a good amp, so u might want to get another one of them, and use 2 15" each having there own amp.

yea i did state those in my post up top.LOL. i guess my budget is somewhere around 2000. i already got my HU so all i need is front components/rear coaxs/ subs and amps. im trying to get the most for my money so if you guys know of something thats better then alpine somewhere let me know. im new to this so i was thinking that alpine was the top of the line. if im wrong let me know,lol

alpine is good, but there are companies that I call "underground companies" that you might not ever heard of, unless your at comps, and "in the know". For slightly more money I would go with F.I Q's or the BL line. For 2 15's in either Q or BL's your looking at ~600$ plus a good 2000w amp add another 4-500$, so your in it 1100$ already just for the sub stage. This leaves ~8-900$ for vocal stage, and that is plenty. The options are endless. There is DC audio/ Digital Designs / Diablo audio, etc......
