UnderLoK Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 How big is your stock alt? Like 110A? I say you won't need a new alt for 2.5KW. x2 The guy might only be drawing a whopping 200a total...

Robert8252 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) I read the recent thread about not needing but being recommended electrical thread but I'll be running about 2,500-2,800watts and I want a alt that can keep voltage as close to 14 as possible. No it isn't needed. With one good extra battery you should be fine but I'd expect voltage to drop to the low 13s or 12s. I want my 14volts as long as possible.

CheezyMane13 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 How big is your stock alt? Like 110A? I say you won't need a new alt for 2.5KW. Too many people on this site saw Steve put in a whole load of alts (he does actually need them with 30KW) so they go and do big electrical upgrades where they aren't needed. X3 I am running roughly 2500rms on subs and 500rms on mids/highs....all i have is stock 145A alt and extra battery in back...No big 3 yet...I should do it soon though..HAHA Quote take baby steps, u cant do it all at once unless u have a roll of 100's big enough to choke a donkey 1998 Chevy Venture "Swagger Wagon" Kenwood Excelon KDC-X994 Headunit 3 15" Alpine Type R's in seperate T-Lines 1 RF T1500-1bd for 2 of the 15s 1 RF P1000-1bd for the single 15 3 sets of Hifonics Zeus ZXi6.5C Components( 1 more set to come for Front stage) 1 Hifonics HFi100.4 4-channel amp Stock alt for now (DC HO SPL 400A when funds come in,currently working on buying this) Stock battery and one Optima Redtop for now (looking at XS batteries) 3 15" Alpine Type R's (aka Swagger Wagon Build 1.0) Swagger Wagon Build 2.0 Youtube Videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainzPlanetz Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Im running a AQ2200 at .5 ohms on a stock alt and HC1400 under the hood and an HC2000 in the trunk with 1/0 throughout and I drop to the low 13's after playing full tile at idle after a song or two but it never goes below 13 except playing at idle at night with all sorts or acc. on.
