I am running the stuff mentioned in the title and then some, and my voltage normally stays at about 13.5 with all the **** on and lights too, the problem is for my Crystal Competition amp to deliver 800 full watts it has to get 14.4 volts....which is damn near impossible without buying a 1/2 farad cap (and I'm not sure how they work, but i dunno if that's gonna help), is there a heavy duty alternator made for 7's? I'm gonna need one some day, for sure, cuz in the future i plan to DB+ Drag...any help would be appreciated...



"Damn i thought Knight Rider just pulled up or some ****, how many ******* lights you need on that **********er?...." my friend Wayne when i pulled up....o...the other amp is an RF 40ix running mids..they are wired to a distribution block and have a decent ground...

You talking about a Pyramid amp? LOL, I would SERIOUSLY doubt 800watts from a $120 amplifier.

Send out your alternator to a place the rebuilds them and tell them to upgrade it for you



You can also put a GM Powermaster 140amp in there as well



If you want to have a 800 watt amp in there you will need real heavy gauge wiring going to the thing, a 60-100amp fuse or circuit breaker, and some speakers that handle 800 watts, in other words, you need about $100 in wiring and fuse/circuit breakers and connectors alone for your $120 amplifier, plus the alternator upgrade.



Another thing to consider is if the amp is advertised at 800watts thats usually at 1-2ohms, I dont know what kind of speakers your using or how you are wiring them but no speakers are 1-2ohms, only when you run them in series or parallel does it bring the ohms down. I would say that even if a piece of poo amp like one you bought CAN go down to 2 ohms, it will probably last all of a minute or so before it started to clip and overheated, and I know it doesnt have a cooling fan built in.

Rice doesnt necessarily mean Asian made car. It was coined in the past few years to describe extreme distaste in modifying a car that was and still is most common in Imports
