You cannot effectively drive 1000w (RMS) amps using standard 12V battery supply. I have tried every trick in the book and you cannot maintain 14V for more than 10 minutes with the volume cranked up. I have now added a second high output alternator hooked up to a small battery in the back and two 2 farad caps. This goes straight to my Alpine MRD100 mono block amp, what a sound, sets off car and shop alarms continualsy!!! --------------------  More Power to your BOOM BASS |

Yee of little faith!! Do I swap one of my profile pics to get a pic of my 2nd alt on the site, if so I will do it 2morrow, weep and see!!! I use the 2nd alt just to power the mono block and mid high amps. Alt – rear batt – 2 X CAP = X 2 amps. This setup gets me a constant 14.4V which is clean and powerful. I now have competition class sound and I can still run all my strobes, neons, AV, heater lights and just about anything with no loss of sound quality or power.
I have tried all sorts of batts and amp / sub configurations and they just sound good for a while but under heavy traffic conditions it all starts to sound like crap. I will now get a more powerful amp that can better use all the new current that I have. Pics first then we will see what you think? -------------------- More Power to your BOOM BASS |
