So you would run the doors and dash... and not run the rear deck speakers? Or run the rear deck speakers as well? After i think about it, if i were to run all 3 would i still use a 4 channel amp and wire 2 sets of speakers in series? Or would it be better to run a 6 channel and "Y" connect the...

Well i'm looking for a combination of both loud and SQ. Pretty much needs to keep up with the 15's running 7000+rms. The underside of the dash isn't flat, but horns could definately be able to fit. So would you recommend running the 4" speakers on the top of the dash add the floorboard comp's...

Thanks guys.. i updated the thread. I believe i am going to try out the HD JL 4 channel amp... mainly for it's small size which it will fit under the seat perfectly. I did read up on the DIY drivers and going active.... but wouldnt doing this way benefit me better?

Hello, So i'm starting to plan everything out for the Regal. Stopped the project to finish my race car, but now i'm feeling the urge again to get it done. As of right now the Regal is fully dampened (front to rear). It will have a dual alternator setup (200amp stock replacement alternator and...

Yes you name it and i tried it. Like i said 1/0 everywhere. Real clean install. Checked all the ground resistances etc. I even ran a 1/0 ground wire from the underhood battery to the rear batteries. What i do know is that the small case GM alternator sucks according to all the builders. Actually...

I totally understand how the amperage works on the alternators. At idle the large case GM alternator puts out roughly 180 amps at idle. I just never thought that it would be able to be enough by itself for the new setup. Previously i had (2) 13w7 subs with (2) 1000/1v2's. I also had (1) kinetik...

Hmmm... now you have me thinking. So a 275amp alternator should be sufficient to run a 7000watt RMS system? I was assuming the saz-3500d amp would consume maybe 200amps of current at full tilt... possibly more at 14.4v. I do plan on running 3-4 D3100 XS power batteries though. I'd just hate to...

Givin that info, i guess that's what i need. Have you had any issues? What does your voltage idle at while hot? Any fluctuation issues? Do you run the MLA module whenever the car is running? I know they have it set up with a toggle switch, but i would assume running excessive higher voltage in...

I definately will. I figured their are others on this forum that were wondering about this. I'm not a alternator genius, but i'd like to do it right to begin with without messing any equipment up... just need the correct info from someone with experience.

I did give that some thought, by using a factory alternator to run the car, and the bigger H.O. to run the system, but the thing is i already have a H.O. as the factory alternator to begin with. I'd hate for that to go to waste and not run it, if you know what i mean. The underhood one is a 200...

I guess i could try that, but just figured i'd ask on the forums to see what others thought just incase it wasn't necessary to use the MLA.

I read of the MLA modules but it seems like those are designed just to step the voltage up. As for their dual alternator modules those seem like they are for if you are running the same type of alternator. How would running a MLA module make both alternators run the same voltage if they are...

Hello, I did search before and from all the info i gathered i noticed their really wasn't a straight answer on doing this. I have a H.O. alternator which is a small case GM currently in my Buick. I also purchased a H.O. large case GM alternator which i plan on modifying it to fit in the A/C...

You read right, I'm looking for an AD244 GM alternator... comes in newer GM trucks, SUV's etc. Basically i'm just looking for a core. It can have a cracked case, burned, fried etc.. just need to be complete with the pulley on it. Reason i need it is because i'm planning on running 2 alternators...

Hello, i'm having bad luck on my system once again. So i have 1 JL Audio 1000/1v2 hooked up to a 13w7 and noticed after a while of playing (doesn't matter if it's low volume or high) that the sound will play loud then soft then loud etc. For example, on music where their is a constant bass...
