Would it be alright to run a 2500d just off the stock alt and 1 battery for a while

If you don't set it for more than 1400 watts //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

You shouldn't but I know people that have. Everybody is going to tell you that you can't. During the day my stock electrical handled it fine. At night though its a different story.

ya, it will be at 2500w

There is no way in hades you can run the full 2500 on a stock alt smaller than 120amps.

If you can. You're not running a true 2500 watts

Had mine set for 2,000rms. Stock electrical was 130amp alt and 630 cca battery.

comparing stock alt. to a stock alt. isn't really a good comparison, if a tahoe a 130 amp alt. and a civic has 70 amp alt. , the tahoe probably needs more amps than the civic to function, so it leaves about the same for aftermarket stereo add ons

well i was just curious, cause im starting a new job next week, and didnt want to go out and buy another batt. yet and ill have everything else i need to hook my system up this weekend but i guess ill just wait

do this and it will buy u very very very little time be4 u really need a alt....well with that kind of power u need one anyway......but do the big 3 and get either a nsb125 or kinetik 2400 to replace your stock batt

80

The orion is very effeciant... it'll run ok on one strong battery with the amp at 1 ohm.

Sblazer beat up the same yellowtop and stock alt for what... 2 years? The amp was at .5 ohm for alot of that time.

Are you getting 100% power out of the amp... no... are you still getting plenty of juice, yep.

As far as "setting" the amp, its a crock. Unless you know actual impedence setting the gain with a dmm is a waste, you will NEVER get the power you "set" the amp to do.

Yeah great idea. Lets all just forget about setting the amps gain and turn them up as much as we want...

i don't think that was his point...

My 2500d is at max gain... it has been for over a year.... have I blown anything, no.

the gain doesnt blow speakers, the volume control does.

You can't set the gain with solely the DMM... it just doesnt work.

i have my gain all the way up and havent blown anything

Yeah but if you turn the gain to max and use the volume knob to control your amps output, you are getting less preout voltage form you hu. this won't affect your sub amp too much but it will affect your front stage's amps.

thats y u have a HU that u can control both seperate. i have my gains on my 2500d almost maxed and i control everything thru my HU. it doesnt affect my frontstage at all, becuz the HU controls everything seperatly. so it doesnt affect the fronstage amp at all really,

and u'll be fine wit the 2500d on stock alt and a solid batt up front. i kno //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I have an hu that does that also, but not everyone, he is just telling everyone to max out your gains, does not sound too smart to me. Just b/c he can build a good ported box, it does not mean he knows everything else about car audio.

well I was gonna replace my stock batt. with an optima red top, and get a second red top with the stock alt wich I believe is 120 amps, would that be fine

and I got my stinger 1/0 kit in today..woot woot

 

[tRiGgEr 5,000+ posts]

I have a 8004 and a 1200d. At full power my lights dimmed. You just can't run a true 2500 watts on a stock system. End of story.

tru, but ive done it and havent had a prob. he will be fine, 0ga nice strong batt and that will hold u for awhile. dont expect full potential out of the amp, but it will be very nice to ya //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif @.5ohm no i dont recommend runnin it on stock elec @.5ohm becuz u can and may damage the amp.
