A few questions before I install...

[MitchZ 10+ year member]

I just picked up a Solo X 18" with a Visionik v4000xd. All my previous systems blew up so I want to do it properly this time. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

What I have so far:

-Kinetik HC2400 in trunk

-Regular car battery under hood

-Big 3 under hood done with dual 4 gauge.

-Stock alternator (~110A)

-0 gauge wiring from front battery to back battery.

-300 Amp fuse under hood (for front battery to back battery)

I also have all RCA's and Speaker system setup and amplified already.

I'm not 100% sure if the solo x is a dual 1 ohm or a dual 2 ohm.

Heres how the power inputs are labeled:

Coil 1 - 1 Ohm

Coil 2 - 1 Ohm

Other two plugins aren't labeled with anything.

I would assume this means its Dual 1 ohm", but the guy I bought it off was saying its a Dual 2 ohm.

What I need to get:

-Another 8-12 feet of 0 gauge. For Amp to battery, and Battery grounds.

-A new battery for under the hood. I was thinking a Optima Red Top.

-Beef my up alternator to a high output one.

-A custom box to fit this monster in my Supercoupe.

-8-15 ft of 4 gauge. Sub to amp.

-Another fuse. Back battery to Amp.

I'm hoping to run 3500 RMS with this setup. Would this electrical system be enough?

Am I missing anything?

What size fuse should be going from the back battery to amp?

Any comments / concerns so I don't blow this one up? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Thanks.

no. my electrical is similar to yours and if I try to run anything over 2500 I get voltage drops from hell.

Thanks for the replies.

Are you just using stock alternator?

Battery pool seems fine for 2500 RMS IMO.

I was told one single HC2400 is enough pool for a 2500 RMS amp. Maybe an upgraded alternator will make that difference?

I'm using a stock alt with an hc1800 and hc1400. If I try and run 3k I get voltage drops into the low 10's/ high 9's on heavy bass hits.
