The loud(ish) Geo

[Loud(ish)_Geo]

Hello, I'm new to the forum and figure that a build thread was probably the best place to start

I own a 93 Geo Storm that's currently running 900watts rms and 3600w max total

I have full Polk Audio DB+ series door speakers (because they were most powerful 4ohm coaxes I could find)
With the factory 6.5" size in the front and the rears are cutout from 4" to 5.25"
These are all run by a pioneer GM-D8704 @100w RMS per channel

In terms of a subwoofer I currently have a Rockford Fosgate P3D4-10 in a prefab box powered by a pioneer GM-D9701 @500w RMS

For power all I have is a 2.5 farad capacitor which will likely be the next thing I'll upgrade because I'm still getting voltage drops and headlight dimming at full volume

First upgrade the power & ground wire. Looks like you running something like 10 gauge. I would upgrade it to 4 gauge at least, do 4 gauge all the way back to a fuse distribution block on the power and a standard distribution block on the ground then 4 gauge to both amplifiers and you will be much better off. Then do a Big 3 upgrade and a bigger alternator.

I currently have a 4gauge power and ground for the cap only. I'll have to see about upgrading the wire to the amps to the same because they are pretty dinky at the moment. Thank you for the advice

I like those Pioneer amps. Great budget power. Cool setup!

Big three and an AGM and you should be good. If not, then add a bigger alt.

The cap does nothing. Swap it with an agm battery and fo the big 3 upgrade.

I missed out on a 32,000 mile 2 door hatch a couple of months ago and that's what I planned ...
