magillaru Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 (edited) I'm wondering if I need a HO alt....I am only going to be running about 1600 rms (one sub amp). My stock alt is about 105-110 amps (2004 Honda Accord). I am going to be running the Crescendo Audio 3KW. *I will be installing a XS Power D5100 and the Big 3. Thanks! 2004 Honda Accord 2.4L Edited June 13, 2010 by magillaru Quote Singer Alternators Team Asshole #anothershittysingerbuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevyman217 Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Depending on how power hungry your amp is you probably should get a better alternator. You should be alright for a little while but I wouldn't bump at idle for sure. Quote Some people could care less about who the genius is that is making the product... They just want to get it cheap and say "derrrr, look at teh pretty lights in muh dash!" Because audio is a lifestyle not a hobby. Things that I am allergic too....

BeachJoshua Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 If you plan on going bigger.... I'd go ahead and get one, I'd get one but I don't have the money, and Seems to me when people post this they want to get stuff... but they just need people to back them up on it... It won't hurt that's for sure... <- I'm doing this right now....

AssKicker Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Yeah once again these people will tell you to go crazy and max the hell out everything which is nice, but not economically smart. For 1500 rms, don't even bother with anything. For 3000 Rms, just a 150A+ alt and a battery with solid aH (100 +) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
