Im finnally done with the Big 3, all the wires connected, test drove the car, and everything....

thanks for the help through it all!!!!!!

But now what?

Im doing a 15" FI Fully loaded BTL

and a Hifonics Bxi2608D amp

I wont have it hooked up untill the 25th, whats that next thing i should do?

Its a 2000 Hyundai Sonata

as far as i know, my options are Better main batt, add a second batt, or new alternator.

Id rather not do any, but if i have to id rather only do 1. dont have much money to spend... :-(

but untill then ill turn the gain down.. keep the volume down.

Thanks

For what

For what

Maybe so you can buy that other stuff????

Upgrade your front battery. When you have more $$$ buy a second one for the rear. Then when you have more $$$ buy an alternator.

i know you have stated you dont care what i know.. or somthing like that...

but what i would do is the following...

big three

run of 0 gauge.. or 4 at the least...

leave the stock battery under the hood... and buy a sealed battery for the trunk....

get a voltage meter for your car...

thats the least...

then as you save up get a alt....

the voltage meter is kind of a must at this point..because having such a small alt you need to keep your voltage above 11...

and that will require YOU to make changes while driving..

IE turning it down at stop lights witch i hope you do anyway.. but also the a/c or heater will suck voltage and amps.. leaving your cells empty if your not watching....

thanks bigjon, great help, i did say that i didnt care about what you said, but it sounded like you left a smarta$$ response, but whatever...

i DO turn my stuff down at lights, in neighbor hoods..

voltage meter... like a multimeter?

Anyways, now that the big3 is done, it seems like the car has a bit harder time starting.... all the connections are good, whats goin on?

and what battery should i put in the rear? Optima? Deka? Kinetik?

thankyou very much for helping

so your car is not starting the same anymore???

if thats the case then you may have a week battery or perhaps your alt is shoing signs of failure... get them both tested...

as dar as the battery in the back it really depends on budget and goals.. and its work load..

[sandsnip3r 0]

ok, the car starting this is gone, its fine now...

But for battery in the rear.....,

depends on budget and goals.. and its work load..

budget... ~$750 left so far, so say $250 on speakers, amp, and wiring for that.

so ~$500 for anything electrical or deadening

goals.... im just trying to beat my old 2 15" alpine type R's (sealed, ~500RMS a peice)

not trying to get INSANE LOUD, but as loud as i can without doing anything excessive....

Workload..... Hifonics Bxi2608D, 15" FI BTL fully loaded, in a 2000 Hyundai sonata.

~30Min of music a day, on and off(street lights, neighbor hoods)
