Ok...looking into a '98 Neon to save money on gas....but I'm going to be stuffing my system (KX1200.1 Kicker amp, Solo X 12") out of my full size Ram into it....The Ram has a 120 amp alternator...the Neon has 83 amps....I've just found out I can get it beefed to 100 amps....My question is....When I upgrade to a ZX2500.1 to drive the Solo X, If I add another 2250 amp Shuriken BT-100 power cell (in addition to the one I already have) will it be enough to save the strain on the alternator? Hope so...because high outputs (200 amp) are freeking ridiculously expensive, and have to be rebuilt alot from what I hear. I want to hit at LEAST 150 db at the spl comps....I just hit 145.7 a month or so ago...but I don't feel that is a very competitive level.....
BTW-No Kicker haters trying to make me switch to Hi-Fonics and Fi BTL setups....My little brother has a Hi Fonics Brutus and an Fi BTL 15".....and I beat him by EXACTLY one decibel...with HALF the power....and a 3" smaller sub.....He was pretty ticked.....I was thrilled...anyway....ANSWER THE QUESTION, WILL YA? LOL
