First big build help!

[bigmak927]

Hey guys,

So I’m going to be upgrading to a bigger setup, two ssa zcons on a monoblock amp. They’re rated at 2250 rms each. I’m going to have a 250 amp alternator, and more than likely 3 kinetic 3800s which are around 115 ah each. I was originally looking at a sundown saz5000, but unfortunately it sold. I was now looking at a crescendo bc5500d, twisted sounds 3.5k (apparently can put out around 4.5k at one or .5), or a sundown scv7500. The 7500 is obviously quite a bit of power, and I imagine a bit too much for my electrical system. Any input, or advice on my situation? Maybe an amplifier around 4-5k that can work in this setup?

Thank you

If you just want to pound daily and dont care about metering it doesnt matter if your 4.5k-6k chances are you wont hear a difference. Ive ran a bc5500, sq3500, and 2 fu audios 2600s strapped and it all sounded the same to me. So if you wanna save momey get yourself a sq4500. the scc7500 yea youll need another alt for that

Okay, that makes sense. I figured the 7500 is too much, but I didn’t know if it could be tuned down to 5k or so if I got a good deal on it, or if that’s not really an option. Thank you for the response.

Yeah it can be turned down

Just watch your voltage

Can always go with a Taramps HD8000. $580 shipped. 1 year warranty. Easier on the electrical.
