Upgrading my car's electrical
 
I'm trying to figure out how much it will cost me if I get a new set of subs and a amp.
This is what I'm looking at getting..

PIONEER PREMIER TS-W3001D2
HIFONICS BXI2006D
TSUNAMI PP1010DM-CAP (needed?)
ALPINE CDA-9885
STREETWIRES PS00BX 1/0 GAUGE AMPLIFIER AMP KIT(good brand? idk)
I think thats everything.. It'll be a while yet before I get it.
But what I'm wondering is what would I have to do to my car, 2000 Pontiac Sunfire 2.2L 2200SFI, so that the charging system can handle this big of a system. I will also do the big 3 I guess, if I can ever get to the store to get some wire for it.
Would I need a high output alternator?

u should be fine... i ran 2,000 watts rms and didn't need a new alternator or cap... just get a deep cycle battery... optima yellow top is wat i got worked great

Yes, but isn't your car a V6? Alt may be different. I wonder if I ran two stock ones, would that help?:dunno:

i have a 105 amp alternator stock

So cap isn't worth the money? I got one now..I dunno if there is any difference, I can see it workin, but I never ran my system without it..

ross_freier 01-21-2008 02:41 PM

u have the same alternator as my car... so its ur call reall what u wanna do u got the cap so run it

in my focus i run two 3000w amp daily and never need a cap or bigger alt, caps are a waste of money

ross_freier 01-21-2008 02:45 PM

i'm gonna buy one just to see if it makes any sort of difference

willcann 01-21-2008 02:51 PM

trust me dont waste your money ask yuli about caps

Prolifik 01-21-2008 02:55 PM

buy all the caps you can afford, thats actually where all the bass comes from. just ask Mike about caps.
