Rainkey Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Posted January 28, 2010 To run a true 3k watt amp like a Sundown 3000D, you're gonna need something like an HO alt + big batt in back.. Or you could get away with big 3 upgrade and 2 big batts.To have a proper electrical you should expect to spend at a minimum $500 for which ever route you choose. All i got atm is 4 guage from the batt with a 120amp fuse to he back. My freind has got a battery he is giving me for free. So ill have the battery in back. Im not looking to get a new alt either because its not worth it for my car cause idk how long its going to last. So would you advise me looking into a different amp like the audiopipe amp the guy posted above or still go with sundown???
St.Ides Posted January 28, 2010 Report Posted January 28, 2010 4 Gauge? you should do a couple runs of 1 gauge for your big 3 at least (if you plan on running a 3k rms amp with no HO alt) TNCB ....my damn room was shaking, im like wtf is this how am i gonna die jakin off to vida guerra?

Boon Posted January 28, 2010 Report Posted January 28, 2010 well maybe for the right price i would let my colosuss go but i dont kno yet it but its rated at 3200 at 1 ohm If it's the old 2-channel Colossus it's rated at 1x3200 @ 2 ohms bridged and 87xMagicSmoke @ 1 ohm... 10.x volts fo' life!
notorious97200 Posted January 28, 2010 Report Posted January 28, 2010 Don't try to run a 3000 watts amp with only light electrical upgrades. The amplifier will not last if you don't give him enough juice to play. You NEED the HO alt and good primary and secondary AGM batteries. Of course, you must do the big3 (try google to find out how to do it, if you want). Too much batts on a stock alternator will not make it ! The alt will suffer from "overwork" to charge the batts. 4 gauge? NO, no, no !!! You need 0 gauge or bigger wires. black BMW X1 2.0 l 192 hp OEM head unit, Amplifiers : Audison AP 8.9 with integrated DSP and Ampere Audio 1200.

Ben Building Posted January 28, 2010 Report Posted January 28, 2010 I don't have any upgrades but im open for idea's. That's why you blew your amp. You need some type of upgrades to run 3k RMS, especially if you have a factory alternator.
Rainkey Posted January 29, 2010 Author Report Posted January 29, 2010 My amp blew up from overheating we took it apart and it was all burned and stuff in the inside. Plus my amp was only 1k rms running on 2 1600rms subs running at 1ohm.
