The system I’m building is, in comparison to some I’ve seen, mediocre, but I want it to perform flawlessly and rather maintenance free.
Here is what I’m currently running.
This is a 2002 Cadillac Escalade base, not EXT
HU: Alpine ilx-207(4v pre-outs) powered via vehicle ignition. Was using all 6 RCA outs, but changed to 4, disabled sub output in HU software.
Processor/Crossover: Stetsom STX-104(variable RCA out 4-9v
Sub Amp: Stetsom EX-1600(1600W RMS @ 1 Ω )
Mid-bass amp: Stetsom HL1200.4(170W RMS @ 2 Ω
Mids amp: Stetsom HL1200.4
Highs amp: Stetsom 1200.4
Speakers:
Subs:2- Focal E KX30 DVC 2 ohm12’s, sealed enclosure tuned to 40Hz
Mid-bass: 4- Memphis MJM622 6.5” DVC 2 Ω subs(700W RMS @ 1 Ω)
Mids: 4- Memphis MJP6(125W RMS)
Highs: 4 Orion HCCATN1 Super Tweeters(175W RMS)
There ya go. Impressive, right? Well, I’ve got to power all this ****.
I have a 320A alternator.
I’ve completed the “Big 3 Upgrade”
I’ve got a Victron Energy 200/2 battery isolator
What I need from you pros is a battery recommendation for the audio. Vehicle battery is an Optima RedTop, but is isolated from the audio.
I have in my possession an Interstate 8D industrial battery, but it doesn’t have any Ah information, however, it is HUGE, and was free.
Should I use the 8D or find something more suitable to my setup?
Any and all assistance would be greatly appreciated.
