Electrical Dilemma

[Bumpin' Goalie 10+ year member]

So first off, i DID use the search button. But almost every inquiry had a stock alt of 110 amps or more.

My vehicle has stock electrical through and through. 80 amp alternator and a stock (yet decent) battery. Its a 2008 Suzuki SX4.

I will be running an AQ1200d @ 1 ohm and a Diamond 2 Channel @ 4 ohm (150rms total) as soon as tomorrow.

Power is high count 4 gauge, grounds in the same. I'm not overly concerned with replacing the 4 gauge because the amp will only need to produce ~1000rms to suit my application.

I want the Big 3 to solve any problems. Trying to avoid spending money, because, frankly, i have none.

Let me know what else i might need. Be gentle financially please //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Thanks.

80 amps isnt that much...i think you will have issues when you have all the accessories on in your car. the big 3 will help a little

Uh, I believe I held your hand and walked you through this in another thread. Big three, and then small battery if you're having trouble.

Thread over.

So, everything is installed, and well, no dimming headlights, no dimming interior lights, amp working @ decent capacity, etc.

Seemingly no major voltage drop running on stock 80 amp alt and stock batt, no Big 3. Is this a stroke of goodluck? or? i'm going to try to grab a voltage meter to double check everything.

No, like we all freaking said, you'd be fine and you are. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
