[QUOTE="GotThemVibes90, post: 5723613, member: 607247"] today i finished up by putting in my subs after finally bearing the cold weather to put in my batteries and do the big 3. i made a diagram of everything and how it looks in my car. which ill post as well. but theres a problem... a couple im sure of. ive noticed with my battery meter even before i put the subs in, when i turn on the car and let it idle, my voltage in front and back batteries is 14.2volts, i figured thats pretty good for doing my own wiring, cuz its supposed to be 14.4v am i right? but i get a weird response when i flip the light switch on.. my battery meter all the sudden jumps up and stays at a higher charge usually above 15v. i bought a HO alternator at 200a for about 200 bucks somewhere online.. and it concerns me that maybe i was ripped off? because even now, after installing the subwoofers, my lights dim and my batterys drain like a mother ****er when the subs hit.. the gain on my amplifier is 1/5th of the way up if that! i have a rockford fosgate T20001bd mono amp and (2) 12" T2 Power Series Subs my amp puts out ~2300rms at 1 ohm and my subs are wired together at 1 ohm at 1000rms each. i need help, any suggestions on what could be wrong. wiring, grounds, im hoping for it not to be an alternator issue but it seems that way >. id love to know from someone who has also dealt with this equipment! cuz when i first bought the subs and amp i didnt realize what i was getting myself into. but i totally thought i had it nailed with the endless 0ga, 200a alt, and 2 frigin KHC1400 power cells.... what is it gonna take to be able to bump these subs and not have a **** problem? does anyone know from exp how to answer that for me! refer ppl to this thread if u know, please and thanks! also does anyone understand what it is that makes this equipment draw so much more power then its competition. ive known plenty of people that have ran over 2000 watts of power like me, but not need 2 batterys or a HO alternator.. why is this?
