How much did you pay for your system?

This thread has been done a few times, but off the top of my head with sound deadeners and everything I would say $5000 give or take.

how much are you guys paying for your alternators? how much does it cost to put second battery in the trunk? would my stock 80amp alternator with extra bettery in the trunk be able to handle about 1500wrms for bx1500d and 2 dual 4ohm 15s? Im thinking about getting 2 15s and giving them about 750 each in it's own sealed box.

They cost anywhere from $250-$400 roughly

how much does it cost to put second battery in the trunk?

Depends if you want to just wire it up to the current battery, or do it the "right" way with an isolator and all kinds of fancy stuff.

would my stock 80amp alternator with extra bettery in the trunk be able to handle about 1500wrms for bx1500d and 2 dual 4ohm 15s?

Probably not. When your car is on and you are driving down the road, the alternator is what is supplying the power for the system. The additional battery would probably hurt you as opposed to help you because the alt isn't strong enough to power system, so the amp will draw it's current from the batteries, which mean the alt now has to work twice as hard trying to recharge the additional batteries.

If you plan on playing your system a lot with the stereo off, then add a 2nd battery. If you plan on playing your system with the car on most of the time, upgrade the alt.

Dominik Irragi has a very, very good reputation for building alts. A ton of ppl on termpro use them, and everybody I've talked to seems to love them. He is on termpro under the user name "trafficjamz". Hard to say what it will cost you as each vehicle is different, you would have to e-mail him to find out for sure.
