okay i have a lanzar 2000 watt pushin 2xoz 12s they are 700 each..i have a 90 amp alt and my battery is decent but im sure its notgettin near enough power wat is the 1st and best upgrade? alternator? new battery? additional battery?
When you get your high output alternator make sure you upgrade all your wiring to 1/0Awg or else you'll choke or bottleneck the power coming out of the alternator.Oh and upgrading your charging should cost around 300-900.That depends on what kind and brand of alternator you get,wiring you run,terminals you use and battery you decide to run.I think I dropped 1300 bucks on my charging system.My alternator was $550 bucks alone.I hope you're not like most people and say that's too much money considering people spend thousands on amplifiers and subwoofers but are cheap when it comes to alternators.
lol me i am cheap lol i have been running my system off a stock charging system for over a year lol but its funny when you drive at night the headlights flicker like i am fclashing my highs lol
Ben,that's not good.There's a chance you're going to damage your amplifiers,alternator and or subwoofers if you're not getting enough power to your amplifiers.
"Stock charging systems just can't power high power stereos. They arent designed for it."
I couldn't agree more.Let's say you're running a subwoofer amplifier that does 1,000 watts RMS and then you want to run some decent speakers so you get a four channel amp that puts out a conservative 60 watts RMS x4.Then add the vehicle's normal current draw (Lights,brake lights,heat,A/C,wipers,etc...it all adds up and a stock alt should never really be used in a car that has a system near 1KRms.
