They're going to be Hifonics, I'm 16 with a sh*tty job, but I'm going pretty far with the speakers, wiring, and just put in my Kenwood last night. Its a good feeling man. RF 3-way 6x9s in the front door and 2-way 6-3/4s in the rear door. Fi SSD sub.

stock alt. optima yellow top and you should be good.

are they rms ratings or max ratings?

rms, 1700w rms total. Peaks arent specified, but i'll guess 3000w peaks

Would a duralast platinum be good? Optima yellowtops run 260 at my autozone

yellow tops are junk and overpriced...go to sams and get a duracell agm they are like 150 bucks its all i run ..made.by east penn same batts.as deka

Find some Deka AGM's - They are cheaper than the mainstream brands and Deka makes good batteries //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif - lol seen your post above after I already postede - so yeah what he said ^^^^^^ lol

duralast platinum is also a easy penn made battery they are awesome amd far superior to a yellow top

i wouldnt pay 260 for an optima. maybe 160. you'll have to check the classifieds for a good deal. just make sure it fits (you've got atleast 8x11x7) and is from a reputable seller.

How much wire should i get for the big 3?

 

[™Caveman 10+ year member]

I have a stock alternator (130 amps) big 3... 1/0 ran from a die hard platinum(group 35) to a saz1500 @1 ohm and no dimming whatsoever. Did dim with a reg interstate though. Try using whatever agm batt you can afford It made a big difference for me.

PS. Stinger cig lighted voltmeter on the way just to see how bad the voltage drops.

I bought the big 3 kit via audio technics $55 shipped.

- I just popped my hood and took some measurements to figure out what I needed for mine... I have 2 gauge ofc right now (I had a spool leftover from my old shop lol) but I'm getting ready to do 2 runs of 2/0 and my big 3 is going to be 2/0 as well //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

you should just worry about the 1100watt amp sub, the mids and highs does not pull that much current.

you should at least get a volt meter first to see where your voltage is dropping at. worst case scenario, get the $100 agm battery from sams club and you will be set, I never done the big 3 and i am running a Hifonics BRZ 1700.1 with a rockford p1000x4d and a 2 channel 75x2 with just 2 35ah battery with no big 3 and my voltage holds up, but i dont crank it up for 30-45 minutes at a time.

I have a duralast platinum and a 275 singer alt. I big three in bullz audio 3/0. I run a rf t1500bdcp at .67 ohm two 2 channel 200 watt amps and 2 head rest screens and i have zero dimming.. before my ho alt got in i ran my fosgate amp on stock alt and the duralast and it did just fine. But i had it wired to 1 ohm. The duralast plats are good batts mine was only 170 without my core charge. 1700 is feasible but like everyone else said you can't play full tilt for long.

 

[Braindead]

Thanks everyone. I don't like giving myself headaches, so I wont be playing it at full tilt that much, unless I'm being an *** and sh*tting on my friends' setups since they act like they know it all //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif
