Havoc 15"
|
New member Username: Montecarlos11Louisville, KY USA Post Number: 8 Registered: Sep-05 | Would my alternator (200 amp) be able to power 2 Havoc 15"s? They are rated at 1500RMS a piece at 2ohm, i believe. I have had a couple ppl tell most likely not, some say my like will still dim. If this is true how much could i power them without diming my light too much? |

Silver Member Username: Baseball1187Columbia, SC Post Number: 636 Registered: Dec-04 | 2500-3000w RMS is A LOT. that is drawing about 180a with 2500w and 215a with 3000w RMS (14v). That leaves very little to run your car. Adding a battery will not help while the car is running, the cap won't either. It will work sure, but the voltage will drop and the headlights will still look like a disco ball. If you have the money for 2 hAvocs and that 2500w of power, do it right and invest in a bigger alternator. I'd stick with 1 hAvoc and 1500w RMS, done properly... I would imagine it will be VERY loud. |

Gold Member Username: 54danny54Betsy layne, Kentucky..GO... USA duh Post Number: 2014 Registered: Nov-04 | i would say yes definatly(to blkwardog). The hAvoc is a competition SPL woofer, yet it supposed to have good SQ |

Silver Member Username: Goose5714Post Number: 392 Registered: Feb-06 | I think he'll be fine...unless he's competing...your never gonna constatnly be drawing anywhere close to 3000 watts. If he adds a yellow top i think he would be okay. Oh and he doesn't need an isolator if he isn't gonna be running his system with the car off. |

Bronze Member Username: Montecarlos11Louisville, KY USA Post Number: 13 Registered: Sep-05 | how much is a yellow cap and where can i find 1. also i am assuming this a high performance battery of some sort. |

Silver Member Username: SixFlint, MI U.S.A. Post Number: 452 Registered: Oct-05 | Ive have been contacting them repeatedly since before they even came out, trying to preorder 2 of them. I just got an email from them the other day and they have none left. But Chad said I am 2nd on the list to get em once they get a few more assembled. (But that may take a while  ) |

Bronze Member Username: KingjamesOH USA Post Number: 60 Registered: Nov-05 | you know how much a 200amp ho alt would cost? from excessive amperage |
|
Silver Member Username: Baseball1187Columbia, SC Post Number: 639 Registered: Dec-04 | if i had to guess, more than 300, less than 400. I was quoted $375 for a 225a alt from them |
