Bronze Member Username: AvalanchePost Number: 96 Registered: Nov-04 | So if I'm up to about 10k RMS it might not be a bad thing to purchase. The only thing that concerns me is the charging time. |
Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 1325 Registered: Nov-04 | 10K rms? You'll need to own a power station for that. At that level, you won't need a capacitor. |
Silver Member Username: AvalanchePost Number: 102 Registered: Nov-04 | well I am mainly looking for conditioning the power. I am up to a point that I have never been in system wise so I am looking for experienced people to give additional insight and helping witht the system. I am going to try to compete in SQ and just for kick some SPL see how I do. |
Silver Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 504 Registered: Dec-04 | just for kicks what is the size of your Alternator or 10 alternators? |
Silver Member Username: AvalanchePost Number: 104 Registered: Nov-04 | Well I found a guy in Souther California that is setting me up with Dual 250 alternators. It is not going to be cheap but One will power the main truck battery and a second battery. The second Alt will power 2 additional batteries plus a cap if I go with it or a 4th battery. I not sure yet It is getting real expensive now so decisions are getting tough. |

Silver Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 517 Registered: Dec-04 | yeah I wouldnt recomend power acoustic anything either. Your the one with all the US amps stuff I just put the name together with the post. Yeah that must sound pretty amazing I wish I could hear it. |
Silver Member Username: AvalanchePost Number: 106 Registered: Nov-04 | Well I was trying to find the Phoenix Gold 20.0 Farad caps but I have had no luck. As far as sound It is really begining to come together. I have installed my 3 way in the doors. and put in all of the Dynamat. Which was a pain. I have ran all of the wire. So Know I have to make a custom woofer enclosure for the 2 15's and paint it to match. tune everything and try to have fun with it. I will tell you this I have encountered my first ooops. I blew my mid bass drivers by accident. I miscalculated the clearance between the door panel and the sheet metal well their was enough movement in the panel to touch the compresion terminal post to the metal and well U can guess what happend. So I am waiting for them to get warrantied right now. But it still sound good. Just not alot of mid bass. |
