  1. u should get a single powermaster. it will cost u a lot less than a kinetik. i dont know about the dekas and how good they are as i have no experience with them. people rave about them tho as they are not that expensive and do work. i would also be interested to see the data sheets www.remybattery.com
  2. Sorry about the excessive comments but thats where im stuck at. If i might have to get a bigger alternator then why not spend the money that i would be buying a battery with on a alternator? well you are asking if i am going to need a bigger alt in the long run why not just got a bigger alt! well how about lets look at this mathematically for a 2000rms setup at 1ohm your amp will need like 45amps. but 2000rms/12.8volts = 156amp draw! so if your alt puts out 150 you will be able to supply the demand. is that correct or did i screw something up? i will just get a big enough battery to support my system. right now my setup is 1 15inch ns 2- batcap 2000's and STOCK battery and STOCK alt (105) and a SAZ2000 pushing all it is worth. my lowest voltage i have read off of my stinger volt meter is 12.8volts at full tilt after playing a full song. I have 2 Deka Intimidators with a stock 90amp alt and stock battery...with an SAZ3000D and 100.4 and I never go below 12.8 on a tone.
  3. So you would recommend a battery & battery isolator over just a new alternator? Why would I need a extra battery anyways. I thought it would be easier to just use the yellow top up front and a h/o alternator. And this is just a daily system... no comps at all idk wtf sadistc is talking about ... u dont need 2 alternators ... you should be fine with just a second battery (preferably one that shawn suggested) ... you need a second battery because at idle your alt will not produce enough current to ur amp ... if u get a second battery it will support ur amp for a longer period of time and ur voltage will not drop as much Then why not just get a bigger alternator. I thought i read it a million times that would be best in the long run over a battery because i a battery cant produce power? I dont want to put strain on my alternator if I dont need to. & i didnt pay the dual alternator for 2000 watts MAX idea any mind. Lol usually the bigger the alternator the less output they produce at idle ... it will also cost more money ... an extra battery will also stabalize ur voltage more ... according to iraggi you shouldnt use an isolator at all ... "for every reason to get an isolator there is 10 bad ones" Thats a first... get a battery over an alternator. A 200A alternator is around the same price of a Kinetik khc2000 No. You should get both, although you don't NEED a larger alternator it won't hurt.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    There's an intruder in the group ! And that intruder is the only somewhat decent looking car in that group. Nice scenery though. Where did you drive to Tom? We took the Beeline Highway up to Payson then on to Flagstaff to have lunch at Snowbowl. Then we came home along 89A through Oak Creek Canyon and Sedona. Which one is yours Tom?

    head units

    Not sure who told you they don't like over 3v... but the limit is 6v. There are issues with fancy RCA cable connectors, though, many times they don't make good contact. Cheaper cables don't have this problem. do u consider the knukonceptz krystal cables fancy? ... i just bought them and i am buying some sundown amps I have seen those work for people... anything with high tech looking ends on the cable has the potential to be an issue, but not always. ya. i dont think it is necessarally a problem with just sundown amps ... i know my kicker and jbl amps were having problem with my 120 dollar 4 channel and 2 channel tsunami cables You do realize that wire is wire right?

    Q 12's to 15's SQ Question

    They can, but that's what your mid is for, midbass. Not sub bass. That's why my front stage combines with the bass so that 80Hz is not either one, but both together Underlapping will yield better results versus overlapping and causing more then one kind of speaker playing the same frequency. oh and 80 Hz. is too high for a subwoofer. That's in the midbass range.

    Output remained the same for so long cause Jacob is a great man! And because Sundown is a bad ass name

    Welcome to the IHoP

    One of my recent favorites, hate that TG is not on On Demand anymore. haha that's hilarious. When he stops to admire the underwear model picture in the mall, the smoke grenades in the cupholders, how many clips of ammo can fit in the glove box, etc. haha! Is that not the same if not very similar to what they are bringing back to the US? I am not sure. But I doubt we'd be getting the diesel version like they mentioned as an option. U.S. versions will get standard 4 cyl. and Eco-boost option. I was looking at the Fiesta, do you know an ETA on it?

    BL sound quality?

    damn man take it easy. i'm not the most savvy with car audio and this is the first time i've ever been on a forum. i just did it because FI doesn't display a phone number [even though i actually got one don't ask me how]. now i just had a question about these two speakers because i am on a ledge between the two. everyone keeps saying BLs and to be honest, that's what i was leaning towards in the first place. again, i'm not sure why i pissed you off so much, but i'm not really that knowledgeable when it comes to all this. so sorry for mentioning the term SQ, but i'm not entirely sure of what i'm talking about and i'm trying to get as close as i can so all you tech savvy guys out there can help point me in the right direction. Don't worry about Sean, you'd be surprised how many threads similar to this that pop up every day, it get's old.

    Mids and highs

    They are great components, the mids could be better but they are very nice.
