Silver Member Username: Dmm2005DD Audio ORION, Warren Count... USA Post Number: 577 Registered: Aug-06 | Whats up guys? I know its been a while since I've been on here but I thought I was done with car audio and the bug has bitten me again so I may be getting another system. This is what I'm thinking about running for a daily killer setup and a few comps maybe once a month at the most. My stock alt is 140 amps because my Jeep has the towing package. Do you think I could push this with only extra batterys or do I have to upgrade my alt? If I can do with only batterys, what kind do yall reccomend? 2 Fi BL 15s (fully loaded) 2 MTX Thunder Elite 1501ds (I get these cheap as hell with my employee discount at circuit city) Big 3 Upgrade |

USA Post Number: 578 Registered: Aug-06 | that makes sense...i was interested in the MTX's because they are 200 each but the kickers arent that much of a difference. What do you think about either the kinetic 2400 or the HC 16 volt battery, or maybe two of them instead of an alt and a battery? |

Im actually in the process of building a Mustang but I want to go for first in the christmas bass jam here in NC this year. Don't you all think fully loaded BLs will hit higher than the havocs on the same power? |

Yes you're going to need more than 140 amps for a 3000 watt system. " i'd go two kicker 1500 (240 each with discount) or a kicker 2500....you can get 80 percent off at circuit city and they're all around much more efficient than mtx amps " I second that. Build quality is another factor, MTX's amps suck. Them VS Kicker amps is no contest. |
