how much rms can you run with stock electrical


Recommended Posts

Posted

Is there anywhere a chart that says the minimum electrical requirements per rms wattage? For example something like 0 to 1k watts - stock electrical, 1k to 2k watts - upgrade stock battery + 1/0 wire, etc?

Unfortunetly there are to many variables out there to beable to make a chart like that.

p1000-1bd amp at one ohm is a little more than a 1000 watts rms and i have a pretty big voltage drop wen the deck is only at 15 and it goes up to 35... so i would say around 800rms to stay on the safe side and prob. get the full 800.. :unknw:

Not to start a long thing here but are you sure you have your gains set propperly.

I used to run a 2002 RF BD1000 in a 94 Honda Accord and my only mod was I changed out the starter battery for a Stinger SP1000 and didn't have a bad voltage drop.

Like everyone here is saying depends on your ride. I had (2) 12" Memphis Mojos and (2) DEI2400 amps running them and they did GREAT! SLAMMING HARD! I would get a really low voltage drop only when pushing them to there limit.

x2 ISO. volume 15/35 + you get voltage drop most likely means that your gains are too high at too low a volume

i still have my stock alternator, 4 batteries total, 4 runs of 0 gauge from front to rear, big 3 basically everything i can do, im running a stetsom 7kd, and crunch pzi.900-4, im dropping to 11.7-11.9 at 2k rpm, no my voltage is shitty, but my alternator is only a 130amp, as soon as the bass stops, it jumps right back up to 13.9-14.0 volts

what if they tried messing with the amps when the subs werent louder :ehh: hahah jk :pardon:

In my wife's car I lose volt's and the light's dim bad at 500 watt's rms, so it depend's on the ride and system.

wunna play halo?

I dont want to sound like a moron but what is the big 3 upgrade? I have a 2 amps running on my stock electrical and i get heavy light dimming but i may have a messed up alt. if i stomp the accellerator on my truck and i'm bumping the voltage will drop off so much my dash light comes on for me to check guages when i do the volt have dropped to around 11 volts?? if i'm running at normal everyday speeds ie: highway it charges fine. would the big 3 do anything for this?
