Gold Member Username: Livin_loudMW2 Addict Post Number: 3149 Registered: Jan-06 | try it out. but if you let the magic smoke out it might not work anymore. that's what amps operate on. magic smoke. in case you were wondering.. there are other factors to this as well though. can your charging/wiring setup handle what that amp will put out at a 1ohm load? if your wires can't carry the amperage, clip city. |

Silver Member Username: RosrockMichigan Post Number: 395 Registered: Mar-09 | ok forget the 10001bd, my directed 2400d(1200 rms at 1 ohm) is pretty solid actually, and i found an alternator a 160 amp alt for 110 shipped! fits my corsica. should i just get this and then i could say upgrade later to a bigger amp and see a true 1500 watts for sure with 160 amp? |

Platinum Member Username: Insearchofbass2 hifonics 2607s, 2dcSounds12xls SPL\idmax12SQ Post Number: 14406 Registered: Jun-04 | id upgrade to at least a 200 amp alt if you want a good idle and not that big of a price tag |
|
Silver Member Username: RosrockMichigan Post Number: 399 Registered: Mar-09 | 200 amp??? that will run 300 .... what are u talking about. im saying its 110 to get 55 more amps... compared with 300 for just 40 more then 160 |
|
Silver Member Username: CwruckPost Number: 323 Registered: Feb-10 | to run 1200 watts or so a 160 amp alt will be ok. i advice not running that rockford amp at 1 ohm, everyone will try to give you advice and say its ok, but do they really have the knowledge to know? im sure they don't have a great understanding of how amps work |

Gold Member Username: Kyle_lowePost Number: 1171 Registered: Apr-06 | Where are you getting this alt from? I would not expect much from it at that price. |

Silver Member Username: Sleste8Shelbyville, MI United States Post Number: 266 Registered: Mar-10 | thats what i was about to say...just don't expect it to last you very long. or have a very good idle output. that's why im just kinda waiting around till i save the money for a good one. im just keeping the gains down for now. |
