Guest jbinn Posted August 31, 2010 Report Posted August 31, 2010 Running a single 1600RMS 18" wanna run it @ 1OHM off my AP1500.1D I figure it does a good 1200RMS+ on required electrical, I have Big III installed and running 0/1 all around. I also have aKX600.4 on my speakers which does about 400RMS so i'd say I need to support around 1800RMS or so. I have a stock alternator and battery the alt is maybe a 90amp my current electrical falls way below 12v @ 1OHM sooo yeah big III done what can you suggest that wont cost me an arm and a leg. Battery suggestions bat caps etc?
ant the ninja Posted August 31, 2010 Report Posted August 31, 2010 Just upgrade the battery upfront to something a little beefier. Its only 1800wrms, you should be able to do that fine on stock. Just reread your post, your dropping below 12 with the big 3 done and 1/0 wiring? Definitely upgrade your batt upfront and try it out, check your voltage and see how it is then. If its still bad do another run of 1/0 guage to the back to a second battery but I dont see you really needing another one on that amount of rms. 2002 Ford Explorer XLT Front Stage: Crescendo CCX 6.5's Rear Stage: ???

memphisbasshead Posted September 1, 2010 Report Posted September 1, 2010 i would get a duralast gold top battery from autozone and then that should cover it but if you want to upgrade your alternator i would do something like a 180 amp alternator. but what kind of car do you have?

Robert8252 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Posted September 1, 2010 Just get a small XS or Kinetic battery. You're going to pay close to $100 for a Gold Top and you can get the small XS power cells for just over $100 shipped from mechman.com 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff
Nathan @ XSpower Posted September 1, 2010 Report Posted September 1, 2010 S3400 and call it a day. If you wanted to go smaller you could go with a S1200.

Nathan @ XSpower Posted September 1, 2010 Report Posted September 1, 2010 I agree that or a kiietik/shuriken will also do. They will do, but just not as good. Side by side comparison they will not provide the power the XS Power Batteries do.
