What electrical for what i want to build?

[The Camry]

Sundown 150.4 for mids and highs.(already have that)

Something around the 2200watts mark for a XCON.

Sitting on stock right now for a 94 camry. Running 1000watts to an sa 12.

Besides big 3. What do i need to get?

agm battery and maybe a rewounded beefed up alt if your alt power is less than 130 amps.

Just put it all in and see how your voltages are resting. If its dropping crazy low, turn the gain down until the volts stabilize and perform additional electrical upgrades as needed.

well 2200 watts on a stock 94 camry alt is really pushing it. the brushes are probably worn as it is from age.

no matter what adding batteries or caps is a waste if your not also upgrading your alt as well.

you can do 2 things at the moment. find a reputable shop than can double your amps in your alt through a rebuild. most shops around me say they can do over 200 amps for @150-200

or you can spend the money and get a better alt that is actually made for car audio. but those run over $350

either way adding batteries to stock system with future upgrade to 2200 watts on a stock alt at 130 amps over 14 years old really wont help much at all. you will be not only trying to charge your current battery but also a 2nd battery as well increasing the stress you are already going to be putting on your alt.

doing a big 3 first is what i would do. check your voltages like mentioned above, if your still having drops below 12 volts adding a 2nd battery might help if your alt wasnt so old and actually a higher rated amp.

i beg to differ, had an 03 corolla with 80 amp alt on 2000 watts of sub amp on 2 kinetic hc1800s and big 3, worked for years, volts dont drop down below 13.8

my buddy had a 90 nissan 240sx with stock alt and a few xs power batteries on 2k also, no problems and he has his car for 6 years with the same setup.

How well the vehicle charging would depend on the actual wear and tear on the electrical system, if its in good shape, you should be fine, if its really beat up then yes get the alt beefed up. It also depends on the car too. Some cars with 130 amp alts will drop low and dim lights even with 500 watts.

either way, proper gain adjustment matching your voltage drops will be the safest for his charging system, he should just get the setup and big 3 in first before he makes any random guess/ diagnosis.

yea true. all cars are different.

either way what you suggested is what i would do

big 3

beef up alt if needed( voltage drops )

add batteries.

thats would be my procedure. everyone has their own opinions which makes car audio a touchy topic.

but non the less, good luck hope your sounds are what your hoping for.

I be to differ also.. Adding batts will help without upgrading alt buttttttt, if it was me is rather make power then store it so HO alt is what I'd get
