Can my electrical provide the needed amperage?

[thetntstick]

Hey guys I have a M3C and will be ordering some stuff for my electrical monday. Im getting a singer 250a and two xspower 3100s. Speakers will be wired to an ohm.

Is this enough?

If it is could I possibly wire at a lower load?

you should be fine.

you think I could wire lower lol

Dd amps thrive on low voltage. That m3 will do half ohm all day on that electrical

Oh! btw this alt is replacing my oem...so it isnt an addition

I ran an m3 on stock alt and xs 1200 and 3400 at 0.5 daily for 4 years. Imo, DD makes the best low voltage amps on the market. Especially below 1ohm

Uh yeah it is. It's replacing OEM alt for a better HO one.

I know but I was implying my stock battery will also be charged from the alt.

You never mentioned about your stock battery.

you're right...my bad.

If you are competing sure. For daily you could but the efficency is closer to 62-65% instead of 72-74% or so. Before I can't say you won't have issues because im not sure how much impedance rise you will get. I generally don't recommend doing it Because it's much easier to damage your equpiment..

I'd take kr15's advice instead of toiletpaper, who has no DD amp exp.

(Let the butthurt begin)

Dont take my advice too keenly lol... cuz on his electrical id run a dd at 0.25 or 0.33 lol

as long as it stays above 12 right? plus If I build a big box for my specific speakers, wont the impedance rise a good bit?

I hope a ton of noobs dont see this.... but DD amps tolerate 11v fine. The first m series amps were rated at 11.9v. My m3 hit 11v alot. Hell, when i clamped it, i clamped at like 11.5v
