[MrNobody]

Can any1 tell me about a @g charging system? I am getting an Alt from Ohio Gen. Im gonna be pushing about 160amps.

System will include:
Kenwood DDX7017
Infinity Kappa Perfect Components
Infinity Kappa Perfect 6 X 9
2 JL 12x7s
1 JBL crown 2200.1
1 JBL 300.4

Please tell me your thoughts. I hope not to blow my ECU.

Is that 2 12-W7's? Your new alt is rated at 160? If so, that should be plenty for your system. If it were me I would suggest auditioning some different component sets before purchasing. Try listening to some MB Quart, Focal, DynAudio.

Eh... those are ok, but Harman Kardon has always done me right.

Yeah that was JL 12w7 sorry hehe... Harman Group (Harman Kardon, Infinity, JBL) have never done me wrong, soo... Thanks for the input I was a lil sketchy on my Alternator. I feel better.

That altrenator should be more than enough... I would look at alpines componets. Their high end componets actully beat out focal and rainbow in retail testing. I wanna say their the f1 series but im not 100% sure. Mtx's new high end componets are also really nice.

Yeah, due to musics nature it will RARELY ever output the amps rated wattage, maybe like 10% of the time. If you listen to rock and such then you really have nothing to worry about, Rap is a little harder on the sytem though. Anyways, not trying to get all technical, haha.

BTW how much that alt gonna run? You might wanna check out Dominik Iragi. He makes some great Alts as well. Love the subs, think 2 12-W7's is a bit overkill for any system but especially in an eclipse, haha. Have you ever checked out Adire Audio, the Brahmas are some phenominal subs, as well as Image Dynamics ID MAX sub. Just tryin to give you some more options

Not knocking your picks, just trying to help, can't hurt to hear some more speakers.

that alt will be nice but i would highlyu suggest a 2 farad cap and a yellow top otima battery

i have a 160 amp alt in my car and my lights still dim but when i went and to me a 2 farad cap they dimmed a little less and when i got the yellow top they hardly dimmed at all if any


i have 1 12" eclipse titamnuim and a alpine mrd m1005 amp

Caps are not meant as band-aids for something more serious. IF you buy a cap make sure it is an electrolytic type, as the other types are useless, and actually hurt the system, rather than help it. If you wanna get rid of dimming lights go out to your car, measure the voltage of the battery, then get a voltage regulator set to that voltage and hook it up to the lights, and voila, dimming lights are a thing of the past.
