dugee81 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) I currently own a 2002 hyundai sonata with a HO alt. and im acquiring a 98 pathfinder, do you guys think i should wait and save up the $ for an alternator for it too? i plan on buying one, but money is an issue ATM. my bud is telling me that the 80 amp relay/isolator will hold me over(he has give or take 4-5k wrms running on a stock alt in his car) until i get what i need. should i just wait to transfer my stuff over? i guess its not that big of a deal but i feel an addiction to bass.. lol. my hyundai has been turned into a metal death trap yet because of the bump factor i would take it over the pathfinder (for now). thanks! edit: and when i say he is running that much power, he obviously isnt. his amplifier is just rated for that much. i just dont want to damage anything in my new car right when i get it.

t-money Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 id put somethin small in there for now like 500 watts maybe. i just dont see him running a real 4-5k watts on a stock electrical. the math just dont add up.just wondering what amps does he have Quote 2002 ford focus hatch pioneer DEH-P8400bh infinity kappa 6.5 components front and rear XS Power D1200 Shuriken BT-100 audioque 120.4 2 15 inch audioque HDC3 D2 2 audioque 2200d big 3 mechman 220a alt with external regulator 479-418-3056 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dugee81 Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) well do he probably has a good amount of batts?if not then that amp would shit itself if he play too long.. he has 1 walmart battery in the trunk.. i dont understand it. edit: and ive seen it.. not only does he have the 40001D but he has a MTX amp for his mids/highs, pushing what he says to be 150wrms to each of his 4 speakers.

00_XJ Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 He's probably running it a 4 ohm or something. Only thing that I can think of or it would've gone up in smoke by now.

Only thing that I can think of or it would've gone up in smoke by now. well he originally had it on 1 HCCA dual 4ohm.. so @ a 2 ohm load. then he got the 2 15's... i have 1 12 on a 2010D and i could tell his was not just 1000wrms... its so confusing. so anyways, should i just wire my sub for 4 ohms right now? that sounds like the best bet, i hadnt thought about that before.
