Well made amplifiers and pretty reliable. You will need the supply for the demand for it to serve its purpose. Meaning the correct electrical supply. Sound Digital is almost the same as the Stetsoms. Ive seen quite a few in operation at some audio shows and meets,even the 5k Bravo series which are very nice. Be a great amp to run that youve chosen.
Hey thanks. It will be replacing a Hifonics 1200. I have just finished the electrical system of my car and installed 2 batts so hopefully it is all enough. My one audio buddy talked me into running a red top up front, yellow top in the back and 2 runs of 4 GA from the front to the back and then to the amp for power wire, each batt has 3 separate grounds and the amp has 2 to the rear batt to match the power. All OFC. Hoping that will support 2-3k. If not ill change it all this spring
How big is your alternator?
You should be good with double 4g then
hopefully those two batteries work out for you. I had two-(2) sets of red tops that damaged two of my 255 amp alts due to poor shelf life BNEW and even Chgarged them up before putting them in. Expensive lesson. I ended upo putting a stock 140 a alternator back in and two Oriley Super Start AGMs and never had any issues afterwards and had my alts rebuilt as they were New and a long time trusted local vendor. Back in like 06 they were awesome batteries for me. I cant trust them now.
Not all chargers are the same and charge and different rates. Any battery will deplete in that type of weather if you do not crank the vehicle for every other day generally. That cold/-25* is harsh on any battery. Thats not a bad time frame to charge a battery with a 2amp charger. Pretty easy to tell if you have a bad battery/damaged cells if you let it sit for 3 days in approx 50* or better after a full charge and the voltage drops down past 11.v,within that time (3days) its going to be a bad battery.
