55437Audio Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 First I have not contacted Matt or mechman in general will get into it today hopefully and probably 75% power maybe 50% of the time and full tilt other half will be doing db drag and other comps. So with that sayd would you guys stil recommend the above?

55437Audio Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 So basically what I'm asking is if I will be powering 2 saz 4500 with 6 batterys total but 2 on each amp. And I will be listening to it at about 70% half the time and full power the other half Will also spl comp What would you guys recommend running, would I need 2 alt around 300amp or is it possible to throw a third into my truck. I called mechman today at 1:00 and I didn't get an answer. I'll jut try tomorrow no biggie.

Bumpin the TWP Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Will 1 300 amp alt be enough to power 2 saz 4500 amps that will have 2 xs 3100's to each. Why I ask is I'm trying to get away with only using 1 the bracket for dual on my truck costs 800 and the alts are around 800 Each Any thoughts? Thanks, Austin The DC Power Dual brackets for ford trucks are like $390 Quote 2x Sundown Audio SA-15's nuff said for my little old car 1999 Plymouth Breeze Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55437Audio Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) 2004 f350 6.0l diesel, Kyle said about 700 - 800$ and it's like 800 through ford. I don't think you are looking at the right bracket. I looked at there site too and it's for gas engines only. Thanks for looking tho man Edited August 25, 2010 by 55437Audio Quote My First Build on SMD (Blow Through) 2004 Ford F-350 SD Lariat Pioneer 3200BT DVD Deck Infinity Reference Components not powered Bully Dog Gauge Cluster Pyro, Turbo, Trans SF3 SCT Tuner W/Customs If you can't Join em' Crush em' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamHT Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) actually...i just checked mechman. i know that the list doesnt show the 2004 but if memory serves correctly for the alternator there is no difference between the years on the 10th generation f350. so im going to assume the same price as for the 03, $399.

slim2fattycake Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Now, if that's the case, don't you think DC Power would know to use that instead? Why would they want to tell him he has to have something that he can get from another alt company that is the same for half the price?

skittlesRgood Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 yeah just one 300 amp alt. would be constantly strained running just over 1/2 way. no it wont. at half volume you might be surprised at how much less power the amp makes. when i had voltage drop it wouldnt happen until the last 3-5 notches on the volume. at 45, very little drop, at 50 i saw 12v. OP, what ohm load are you going to run them at? at 1ohm i think you will be ok. half ohm... eeehhhh, no. i mean you could... but i wouldnt like where the voltage would be at. the 2 battery per amp idea is useless. and i mean that because they will all be connected in some way, they all go back to the alt at least. so you really wont have them separate. SO, you should have them all connected together in the back to help the flow between them. hope that helps.

Why would they want to tell him he has to have something that he can get from another alt company that is the same for half the price? slim....you do make a very logical point, but before you speak do a little research. DC 270amp alternator Mechman 270amp alternator this is in a regular GM vehicle, and already a $150 difference in price. the prices each company sets is fine with me, but instead of one 300 amp alternator from DC, for the price he can get dual 270 amp alternators.
