BeAlLsTaR13 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Posted December 2, 2009 thats quite some power for stock electrical, have you even tried big three yet? you're best bet is to -upgrade big three in 1/0 **do this first, you may notice a slight difference -replace starting battery with a deep cycle, kinetik, optima, xs power, c&d ect. as well as running another parallel in the trunk with 2 runs of 1/0 (1 pos, 1 neg full runs) -upgrade to a H/O alt, i'd get between 220-300a, if plans for upgrading ever Quote Team Sundown Audio**CURRENT** -- 2012 Scion tC Build Click Here **OLD** -- 2002 Pontiac Grand AM Build Click Herecheck them out, slap me a comment2002 Pontiac Grand AM SE 2.2l 4 cylinder ecotec.-------------------------------------------------------------------Head Unit - Alpine CDA-9887Subs - 2x Z 12 v.2s - v.3 + NS Soft partsAmplifier - Sundown Audio SAZ-3500DEnclosure - 3.33 Cubes tuned to 34.66hzFront Stage - JBL P660c 6.5" ComponentsRear Deck - Powerbass 4xl 6.5" Mid-RangeFront Stage Amplifier - Sundown Audio SAX-100.4DWires - Kicker Hyperflex 1/0, KnuKonceptz 1/0, Knu 4 and 8 Gauge, Kicker RCAsElectrical - 275 AMP DC Power H/O Alternator, XS Power S3400, XS Power D2700Videos - http://www.youtube.com/user/BeAILsTaR13-------------------------------------------------------------------

Guest DC Power Rob Posted December 2, 2009 Report Posted December 2, 2009 What kind of car is it? If you already have a 160 amp alt is it stock, or upgraded?? Lots of new cars come with 160+ amp alts these days, and sometimes just a small pulley swap can give you big gains.. Quote

BeAlLsTaR13 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) yeah, stock 100amp alt cant handle all that power, thats gonna need a definate upgrade... but you dont have the cash now you said so your gonna have to keep it down till you can afford it.. lol i think i would get a H/O alt first though... well of course, after big three upgrade done in 1/0 Edited December 2, 2009 by BeAlLsTaR13 Quote Team Sundown Audio**CURRENT** -- 2012 Scion tC Build Click Here **OLD** -- 2002 Pontiac Grand AM Build Click Herecheck them out, slap me a comment2002 Pontiac Grand AM SE 2.2l 4 cylinder ecotec.-------------------------------------------------------------------Head Unit - Alpine CDA-9887Subs - 2x Z 12 v.2s - v.3 + NS Soft partsAmplifier - Sundown Audio SAZ-3500DEnclosure - 3.33 Cubes tuned to 34.66hzFront Stage - JBL P660c 6.5" ComponentsRear Deck - Powerbass 4xl 6.5" Mid-RangeFront Stage Amplifier - Sundown Audio SAX-100.4DWires - Kicker Hyperflex 1/0, KnuKonceptz 1/0, Knu 4 and 8 Gauge, Kicker RCAsElectrical - 275 AMP DC Power H/O Alternator, XS Power S3400, XS Power D2700Videos - http://www.youtube.com/user/BeAILsTaR13-------------------------------------------------------------------
