What's your system plans? What batteries and amps?

I'm saying run two alts. Just run the bigger one on audio alone and charge a higher voltage. Higher voltage it puts out the more amps the alt will produce and less current you need for amps.

You stock alt gives up to 80% of it's power to power vehicle. So 20% of a 100amp alt is 20amps. I'd just separate it all, and run a higher voltage on the system. Like 15.5v or higher.

More stable for the stereo and the car.

I'd run the second alternator and audio system completely separate from the vehicles stock charging system and electrical.

How does that math work?

I'm just replacing all stocks with LED to improve how fast my lights activate and looks.

I always see those tailgate LED's here. Half broken usually. :-(

I want $300 shipped for mine.

Why you don't do PP? I have a 100.4 for sale.

Y U SO HOMO JULEAN?

Buying used especially amps you can get well under that budget.. I've spent no more than 1500 on a Saz-3500, SSA ZCON 18, enclosure, and batteries. I'm in the 150's and soon to be climbing And how much if that was at normal person price? Oh wait..... none. batteries used.. when the saz3k was new i got it for 600 bucks used.. a used 18 can go for cheap too regardless. Was a SAZ3000 mentioned? No. Neither was the option of him buying used equipment.

Sounds like you have a lot of learning to do before you spend a lot of money. A $3,000 budget wont cover a whole system like that.

RF speaker wire is sexy. Just is $$$

I LOVE the Rockford speaker wire. What you using 12awg for? Doors?

Dude, if your so worried about 10-20Lbs. Don't build a stereo with such heavy equipment. Its that simple.

My friend just got a Sundown 3,000 for his truck. I brought up the idea of maybe trading my DD M3a for his SAZ3,000. He's doesn't care either way. What would you do and why? Side notes: For now I will have one amp on 2 ZCON 18"s at .5 ohm. Then get a second of either and have each at 1 ohm daily, and .25 for shows and such.

Thanks everyone! Alot of my family has birthdays close to, or on Christmas so they separate the presents lol. Its only, 2:31am, and I'm already having a great time. :-) Thanks again!

I was just wondering.

Who's designing enclosure?

Are you building the box?

He only has a 200 dollar budget so the dcon would be my choice. Touchè I forgot.

I'd recommend the SSA ICON personally. Just me though. Where you going to build your box?
