Bronze Member Username: Crazyfool289Post Number: 12 Registered: Apr-05 | I'm gonna be running one Kicker L7 15" (2ohm DVC) powered by a Kicker KX850.2 bridged at 4 ohms stable. Am I going to have alternator/battery problems? If so...what can I do about it? Dry cell? Capacitor? |

Gold Member Username: GlasswolfNorthWest, Michigan USA Post Number: 7690 Registered: Dec-03 | yes. buy smaller amps. |

Bronze Member Username: Crazyfool289Post Number: 16 Registered: Apr-05 | what about an extra battery? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Crazyfool289Post Number: 17 Registered: Apr-05 | ok, forget that battery thing, it sounds like a sh!tty idea. I'm lookin for high output alternators all over and i've found a few. but how many amps should i look for? |

Gold Member Username: Taylor17Kopperl, Texas Post Number: 1492 Registered: Jan-05 | Well, you might not even have alternator problems with just a 800 watt amp. But, if you upgrade in the future, I would recomend at least a 200A alternator... if you can get the biggest one you can. It's never a bad idea to have more amps.:-) |
