The install form hell
 

Hello

my fist install was a flop, both my DEI 2400D amps Fryed and one TS-W5000SPL sub i was pissed. 7 + thousand $$$ down the shitter. no idea what happened, low voltage i think. now its a waiting game to get it all running agian.

has anyone had that happen before?


My total system including all the cars extras is about 5000Watts RMS.
i want to use 1 HC1800 up front and 2 HC2400 in the back and keep my current alt.
my stock alt is a 110Amp and im thinking of getting the Kinetik HC-100A 12V Power Supply as well

Call me Crazy :)

My System is now this

Avic-Z1, Sirius, Bluetooth, Ipod
soon to be 1 ND-BC2 PIONEER UNIVERSAL REAR VIEW CAMERA
Infinity 6010cs 6-1/2 components in the front
Infinity 6012i in the back
Fosgate 3SIXTY.2 Interactive Signal Processor Bluetooth
ROCKFORD FOSGATE T8004 4 Channel Amp
ROCKFORD FOSGATE T40001BD MONO SUB Amp
2 Tview 9" Headrest Monitors with IR headphones
PLVSC44 Multi Audio Video Wireless Switcher System (4 A/V In & 4 A/V Out)
2 Pioneer TS-W5102SPL Subs
50 Farad Cap
soon to be 2 HC2400 ans 1 HC1800 Power Cell batteries
soon to be 1 HC-100A - Kinetik 100A 12V Power Supply
and still some things here and there

dam just reading this list, thats alot of stuff lol

Ya, it is. get a bigger alt.... Spend all that $ but not 400$ to power it all. ;)

i want to change it to 200AMP but try to find one that will fit.

this system is in a new 2007 Kia Magentis LXV6

Custom fab if you have to, and running all that stuff plus that RF 4k id go bigger then 200 amp, or dual alt.
but if they put a 110 on it stock im gonna say with heater, headlights radio, plus whatever else is electrical like the computer, ignition and all that your probably pulling just over 90 amps.

Start wanging the stereo and its going to drop voltages "like its hot"

At least do the "big 3" yet?

its funny i ran those 2 DEI 2400D Amps puching 2 TS-W5000SPL Subs in my old car that only had an 85Amp Alt. and it worked good no problems i had 2 redtops batteries and that 50 Farad Cap. something happend i did get an isalator put in the new car that was the only thing different.

Do you listen to the system off for extended periods of time?

No

the car is always running

Ditch the Iso then, And as I asked above have you upgraded power and grounds under the hood?

also do you have a voltmeter thats preferably after market as oem ones pretty much suck.

im running 0 ga Pos And Neg to all batteries and to the amps

too much power consumption for a kia.

just my opinion.
