Alright, i just ordered a 12" Fi Btl. I'm putting it in a 2.75cuft box and am gonna be putting 3000W rms to it. What electrical should be done to handle this if any at all? Brands/models of what you think is greatly appreciated. Zach
What do you have right now??? What vehicle??? you're gonna need a lotta 0 gauge wiring and prolly atleast a 250 amp alternator if you plan on beating it up while driving and prolly an extra battery or two
It will be in a 2001 4runner. My current setup is nothing compared. its 2 jl w3v3 12" running off 800Watts. I've already been told to get two batteries and was thinking stinger. one person says to get an alt and others say not to. so im not positive on that yet
if used daily...I would highly recommend a HO alt...if not than you'll be sucking juice from the batteries all day and will be hard to charge them back up
ok thank you. I actually found 2 optima yellow tops on craigslist in my area so im gettin those. Heard they're good...? Do you recomend any particular alt? I'm new to having this much power and in this area of car audio. so any suggestions help so much thanks zach
if you can get 2 NEW batts.getting used may be good price wise,but you dont know how they have been used. they may be on thier last legs. heres a 2000 with a stout set up. amp rack/roll cage lol he has only 1500 watts or so but his elec system is huge. 200 amp alt 0 gauge all over.and more i cant remember
HO Engineering, Inc. Alterstart Excessive Amperage Iraggi those are only a few i can think of right now
some amps come with a chart or go to their website to get the info that tells you what power is needed for that amp
