[QUOTE="knil, post: 8441746, member: 667746"] Wow, was researching High Output alternators that fit my Honda and the price range is salty, $400-$550 to upgrade to a 170-230 amp. I decided to recheck my gains last night since I noticed the new Kenwood head unit was 5V on pre outs whereas the pioneer I replaced was 4V. There was only marginal adjustments to be made on the JL which is powering my highs but the Kicker amp was up way too high. After tweaking the gains last night, I was disappointed with how little bass I was getting out of my sub. I started tweaking with the Eq and other setting on the head unit to bring the bass back up but it still wasn't quit where I thought the level should be. Then as I was driving home, the whole system decided to wake up and it was hitting hard. I'm still pestimistic and thinking this still may be an intermittent problem and expect it will be flat again tomorow, but we will see. I picked up some more 4 gauge wire to start tackling my big 3, Hope to find some time this weekend to perform that upgrade. [/QUOTE]
