Gold Member Username: Snarl2004Audioque 12 SD2.5s, Earthquake P... Post Number: 1808 Registered: Dec-06 | also when you buy a HU alt they are designed to work at 14.4 volts they just produce more amps. they wont fry your computer if they are installed corrctly. |
Bronze Member Username: Mj23dynastyHarrisburg star city, Pistolvania USA Post Number: 67 Registered: Oct-07 | so where do you reccomend going a car audio place or a mechanic to get it installed?? and another question if i get the HO alt in and dont get my big 3 done for like a day or 2 would i be cool or does it have to be done all at once?? |

Gold Member Username: Mygame5982I Got More Watts Then ..., TEXAS US Post Number: 2336 Registered: Jan-06 | THEY BASICALLY THE SAME THING.. JUST LOOK DIFFRENT... GET WHICH EVER ONE IS THE BETTER DEAL FOR YOU..LOL |
Gold Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego Post Number: 3018 Registered: Dec-06 | From all I have read... no. But I have seen and heard the 2400 and 5000 and they look and sound like very solid amps. I am going with the 5000 and one 12" HCCA sub. The subs are designed by TC Sounds and they are beasts. 4" flat wound voice coils and 1.2" real world one way excursion and the magnet weighs in at 28 pounds. Brutal output and good SQ. I get them at dealer cost. |
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 3625 Registered: Jul-06 | The big 3 MUST be done at the time when the alt is installed. Your stock wires will not handle an HO alternator. A car audio shop would probably be best if you can't DIY the installation. Most mechanics know jack sh!t about electronics. |
