i currently have have 2 15in. CVRs sealed off a bx1000d at 1 ohm in my sentra but want to upgrage to the 1500-2000wrms range but want to know what would i need to change besides get a bigger alt?

BTW i do need a bigger alt, my lights blink so bad, when im on the highway, people move out of my way like im sending em a sign or somthin.

You'd need to upgrade your alternator positive wire, your battery ground and your alt ground if it has a seperate one.

It sounds like you really do need a high output alternator.

jack frost, do you basically mean do the big three with 0 guage wire?

4 guage or larger is the general rule. It sounds like you need a HO alt, BAD. If your lights are dimming like that, it means you've hit your limit with that charging system. A 1500 watt amp won't do any more power.

will doin the big three help my charging system considerably?
