QUOTE(soven @ Feb 2, 2007 - 9:04 PM) [snapback]523595[/snapback] Audio ricer   I can run 4 amps totalling up to 2300watts rms with stock alternator and no dims. Why cant you? I did upgrade grounds in the engine bay though and no caps. Look in your engine bay and the first thing you want to upgrade is that tiny black cable from the battery to the chassis. I used 0 gauge. 2300watts rms at lets say 14 volts is 165 amps of current if the amplifiers were 100% efficent which they aren't class a/b are 50 to 60%. Our stock alternator is 70 amps. Something dosen't add up.. I'm guessing the amps are a little overrated. I'm running a soundstream amp that's 500watts rms and I get an occasional dim. And I've upgraded the grounds. |
