Is my alternator powerful enough...

A nuclear reactor.

I don't know why but this made lol hard.

At idle he'd get about 200 amps, pumpin a true 3000 watts @ idle will draw about180 amps....

Maybe a little over kill but to keep a true steady voltage and charge everything run everything, it's not unreasonable

... Apparently you listen to sine waves while driving?

I am running 2400w on a stock electrical, and I have no dimming. Why? Because music is dynamic. Oh snap look at that.

No dimming...wow so that means your electrical is up to par and your amps are pushing rated power....Guess again genius.....

I get no dimming either but my voltage drop is way below acceptable....

Oh and your 2000d is rated @ 2000 max not rms so guess again genius you are not even close to 2400 rms, you may be at 1600 total rms if lucky.

I didnt get dimming either in my old system when voltage dropped to 11.5 dimming doesn't mean sh!t, it's just an indicator of something you should already know, your sh!t aint right....

And here's a calculation for you to determine what alternator you need....

40% of stock alternator rating + 50% of battery bank amp hours + 75% of fuse rating for amplifier(s) = Alternator rating you need

So assuming dude has a 60 amp alternator and 5 batteries with 300 amps of fusing it comes out to this....

24 + 125 + 225 = 374 amps of alternator output

This makes me think of a commercial.

rep1 "90% of all statistics can be made to say whatever you want"

rep2 "90% of the time?"

rep1 "50% of the time"

I'm sure that math of yours is well founded and proven.

If you knew anything about the 2000D you'd know that it has been clamped many times to produce 2kw+ @ 0.5. The other 400w is from the 4.400 running my front stage active.

If it makes you feel any better, I have no voltage drops with 2400w RMS

Well you must have one hell of a factory alternator to get a steady 14.4V

And here ya go with a test of your amp....

sorry about not posting the info sooner i was out all last night

but these are specs of the amps

2 1500 watt @ 2ohms

i got kicker zx1500.1 class d amps

 

[jrwalte 10+ year member]

We still need brand name. Many people state the max wattage of the amp instead of the RMS, which is what matters.

Yeah man invest in a High output alt unless yours is like 120 + stock I would not even try it.

 

[jb2 10+ year member]

so what output should i be looking for to power both those amps b/c mine is 80 and i pretty much knew it was gonna work but how much would the BIG 3 cost and where to buy, and what type of battery should i invest in

but i found a site that they sell 140, 170, 200, 250

 

[jbizzle 5,000+ posts]

Search on the forums what the big3 is, theres a HUGE sticky forum..

I'd say 200 would be good enough..

 

[jb2 10+ year member]

and should i be looking for a single or dual rectifier alt?
