Am I making a mistake?

[darkhunter139 10+ year member]

I am going to buy a Kicker 750.1 for 200 dollars or so, I have stock electrical.

The kicker 750.1 has an 80amp fuse

No big 3 (Can do this)

80 amp alt (they cost a lot to upgrade right?)

No extra battery dont really want one)

Would my car be able to handle this amp? Its a 94 accord 4 door

its a close one, your amp will want everything your alt can put out. make sure you do big 3 and a good battery and see how it works out

should be alright if you do the big 3

see if you need to upgrade anything first, then do the big 3 first if you have some dimming issues....

alternator has never been replaced? do the big 3 for sure and you should be ok

No its never been replaced.

What if I just keep the gains kinda on the lower side?

You'll be fine, no need for the big-3 on 750wrms on music.

Good battery? It's car dependant but 500w shouldnt dim much if any. I have 800w on my sport tracs stock electrical and it dims slightly.
OP You should be fine

you should be just fine my nova had slight dimming in the dome light no where else on 1000rms

I'm running just over 1K-RMS on a stock electrical system in a '98 Mustang [V6] with stock alt with out big 3.

No dimming at all. Even at 50/62 with my headlights and my cab lamp on.

And a H.O. alt for my car I think was like $200 bucks? They aren't that much.

you should be ok, the big 3 is a good idea though.

I have a Optima Yellow top, and I just added a 2 farad capacitor, and i'm still dimming.

Im running 500 watts now and get no dimming

Here is a stupid question how will I know if I am getting dimming? Lol

Also can I f anything up by trying this amp out without doing the big three or anything
