So I have sort of a rare crap car that I thought I would try to make as cool as possible but its not so cool so far. I have a 1993 Subaru Justy which I just found out has a 55 amp alternator.
I have an RE Audio SXX 10 that is 1000 watt rms
I have a Rockford Fosgate R 1000 amp that is 1000 watt rms at 2 ohm which is what I am running.
Everything is run with 4 gauge wire and the big 3 upgrade has been done to 0 gauge.
Heres the thing, I don't have any light dimming problems or issues with the amp cutting off or cutting out, its just not loud. I get a max 105 dbs out of the thing wide open. Also the subwoofer basically does nothing without the Gain on the amp maxed out. I previously had a Hifonics Hfi 1000 wired at 2 ohms which was getting about 500-600 watts and it was louder than this is.
So my question to you is what is the problem here and what are some things I should try to do? Is it because this amp is more powerful that the alternator issue is now a problem? Is the amp bad? (its brand new today) Why does the sub only begin to get loud with the gain maxed out?
.....and where the do I find a more powerful alternator for a 1993 subaru justy?
