Always Hurtin Ears!!
Ok right 2 it
Current setup :
300 amp externally regulated alt 3 runs of 00 ofc big 3 in 00
4 xs 3100 with a 50 farad cap (used as a noise filter)
2 ppi bk1800's feeding 2 hdc3 18" subs
2 ppi 900.4's. 1 feeding 2 sets of sq componets the other feeding 4 Neo pro 8"
150 sqft of deadner
All this controlled by a alpine deck and a JBL processor
Ok came across a ppi pdx 10k for 500$ and I could not pass it up cuz he threw in a 100 ft role of 0 guage (blue) ofc... I'm really tryin to figure out if I wanna run it. my electrical is overkill right now but I know the 300 amp alt and 4 3100's won't keep up with the 10 k so my question is with a 600 amp fuse rating and up to 800 amps of draw how much alt do I need. I have a 400 amp alt sitting on the shelf and the external regulator is set up for 2 alts so I have 2 choices I could swap out to the 40" amp and trow in 2 more xs 3100's (that's all the room I have, or add the 400 amp alt to the current set up for a total of 700 amps.. Adding an alt will require me to make a bracket which is no prob as I have access to a machine shop I just don't know if 1 being 300 amp and the other being 400 amp will make a difference to the external regulator (which is set up for 2 alts [expandable if you will]) the guy that builds my external regulators is MIA so any help would be awsome.
My question is has anybody got any expierence with these and how much alt do I need 600 amps 800 amps?? If I go the 10 k route I will prolly go with 4 hdc3 15's
