Leaning towards the HDC3

The Doktah Gold Member Username: Drsmith Montana USA Post Number: 2657 Registered: Nov-04	Posted on Tuesday, July 15, 2008 - 05:37 GMT I'm really heavily considering two Hdc3 12's on an AQ 2200 but this will be my first install with battery/alt/big 3 upgrades and I want to sound deaden my car and I'd really like to see exactly the money pit I'm digging before I buy the equipment. I'm driving a 2001 Impala so what would you guys recommend in terms of a HO alt,(I found a 160 amp for $225 on knukonceptz)a battery and how much does dynamat or a similar product cost to cover a car usually?

You could look for Hushmat too. I'd say check out iraggi but alot of people have been having problems with him customer service wise.

They have excellent idle amperage and it looks like they can fit many different types of vehicles not that yours would be difficult to match up.

I think kevins alts have higher idle amperage with the lower max ratings also.

The Doktah Gold Member Username: Drsmith Montana USA Post Number: 2659 Registered: Nov-04	Posted on Wednesday, July 16, 2008 - 06:07 GMT I'll probably end up with one of those no one has yet mentioned sound deadening a vehicle though. Any ball park figured for how much that will run?
The Doktah Gold Member Username: Drsmith Montana USA Post Number: 2660 Registered: Nov-04	Posted on Thursday, July 17, 2008 - 05:29 GMT Would I need any kind of battery upgrade for all of this if I go with the 250 or 300 amp alt
