Ascendant15 Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 The big 3 Upgrade your alternator Another battery Use 0 gauge or bigger wire Have good grounds to your chassis DONT GET A CAPACITOR!! All it does it put more strain on your battery and alternator Quote Sub: 15" Asendant Audio Mayhem Sub Amp: Audioque 2200d Headunit: Alpine iDA-X305 Speakers: Rockford Fosgate Punch 6.5's & 6x9's Speaker Amp: Rockford Fosgate Prime 300.4 Wiring: Knukonceptz Kollossus Fleks 0 Gauge(sub) Knukonceptz Kollossus Fleks 4 Gauge (speakers) Battery: Optima Yellow Top Alternator: 165 Amp High Output Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan @ XSpower Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Upgrade all your wiring (Big 3 etc), change out the battery under the hood and then add a battery to the back. With 2000watts it really isn't a must to upgrade your alt, but of course it wouldn't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikillsuckers Posted November 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 i have all stock electricl. no big 3. im asking this question because before i got this amp i had a hifonics brutus 1600d and this new aq2200d i got is not pushin my sub any harder i cnt even tell a difference. my setup - shitty 4 guage wiring kit from ebay (23.99) lol. 4 guauge was the biggest my old amp would take aq2200d 15 fi bl all stock electrical if i upgrade to 0 guage wire and do the big 3 will i notice a big difference in how hard this amp will push my sub or do i need to upgrade alternator as well?

Team_DC-Derrick Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 your shitty 4 gauge is prob like 8 gauge or 6 gauge, do what ascendant15 said.. I would go for a upgraded alt over a batt in the back but thats just me Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

I would go for a upgraded alt over a batt in the back but thats just me ya probably haha. and ya i was under the impression that adding another battery to the rear would pretty much be pointless witout a higher output alternator? say all 0 gauge wires a new alt. and the big 3 and i should be golden rite..

Team_DC-Derrick Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Yeah, adding a 2nd batt with out the alt to keep up with the drain from the system helps but its just not enough, supply and demand kinda stuff. I would add a 2nd batt in the back as well, but only after the upgraded alt Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......
