im in the process of building my system now, and ill be running 3 kicker cvxs and have been debating between the kicket zx1500/1 and the zx2500/1. it will all be in a srt8 jeep, my ? is do you think my stock charging system will have any problem with the 2500. if not ill prob go with it but i dont want to damage my alternator. any input would be helpful. thanks!
How many amps does your stock alt put out? How are the subs going to be wired, 1, 2, 4 ohms? The lower the impedence the more current the amp will be asking for. Is there going to be another amp to run the front speakers? It also depends on how loud your going to listen to the music, if your going balls out everyday you might need to upgrade. My stock Ford alt is 130 amps and I have 1500 watt amp at 1ohm and a 4 channel running the fronts, all I did was the big 3 with good 4 awg wire and i have no problems at all. Upgrade the big 3 with good wire first and make sure your battery is of good quality and wire it up and see what happens, you might not need to upgrade anything else.
i will only be running that one amp, and it will be at 2.6 ohm. and i will turn it up loud on occasion but not every minn lol
I'm glad yall said That because I just got a great deal on a new 2500 abd bought it. I'll at least run good 4ga. I'll prob run 0 or 2ga.
well that doesnt sound good, because i just bought it, i wonder y everyone else doesnt think i will have a prob. would a cap help push it?
not true at all. my friend robin runs 4 IA20.1's on his stock alt,but he does run a few batteries. you might want an extra batt then.
an extra big battery like an optima yellow top or a kinetic should do the job. my brother runs like 3000+ watts off his stock alt and batt with just an extra yellow top.
