i just bought a new sound system for my car and i took it to my local audio installer and he said that my car would just struggle to power it
so i asked if i bought a bigger battery and alternater would that work he said it would but i would also need a power cap
when i asked what size battery and alternater i would need he said said he didnt know which has left me in a pickle because i dont know who else to ask so ive tried here to see if anyone can help
my car is a
suzuki vitara jlx 2door soft top 1992 model
and the battery is only small so im assuming that the alternater is only small to
ill list the amps below that i bought
HIFONICS GENERATION XX SERIES XX COLOSSUS II 3,200 WATT RMS DUAL MONO-BLOCK CAR AMPLIFIER
this will be powering 2x 4000watt subwoofers
and i bought a 4 channel amp to give the 4 car door speakers better sound thats a
JENSEN JPA-460 600w 4/3/2 CHANNEL CAR AMPLIFIER AMP
please if someone knows could they tell me or point me in a direction on what size battery and alternater i would need and where id be best buying one from
also would i need a certain type to fit my car or do most alts fit most cars.
also if possible if i list the items i bought would someone be able to have a look and send me a wiring diagram or a step by step guide to explain/show how i would wire it up as it would save me alot of money
the items i bought ill list below

check out this thread, http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/4/211069.html
that will help you determine the amp rating for your new alternator. the alternator is the most important thing to beef up in my eyes because a battery just takes juice from your alternator when its charging (a large battery is important if you want to play ur system w/ the car off), and a cap wont do a damned thing to help you w/ a 3200 watt amp. i am guessing you probably have between a 70 and a 90 amp alternator if that helps you any as well. |

posting in subwoofers / accessories would get more hits than a post in radar detectors. |

j ross, if his alternator isn't up to snuff a battery is just another load that draws power from the alternator. that power could be going to the amp. |
