a place in new orleans called star auto electric

so you guys think that 325 is good, i thought it was overpriced...

eddiem67 · 10-19-2004, 04:33 PM

that is a very good price, what is there no?

oibone781 · 10-19-2004, 10:51 PM

if i get this 200 amp alt do i still need a five farad capacitor. Also if i get the alt, and the amp still goes into protect, i guess we can all agree that the problem is the amp, right?

that would be pretty costly to find out, have the amp checked before you go drop 300 bucks...and no you will not need a 5 farad cap.

Capacitors cannot charge to a higher voltage than is available so they can't really help an over-taxed charging system. You would be better off investing your money elsewhere. All energy to move a speaker ultimately comes from the alternator...There's no such thing as a free lunch!

^ I know this is off topic, but does JL still recone old subs?

I have a 12W5-D8 that I want to get reconed if possible.

The W5 line was discontinued about 10 years ago. We no longer stock parts for discontinued product so repair is not possible.

Alright i finally got some money, now do i really need a 200 amp to power a rockford 1500bd or can i go with the 150amp and still be satisfied...

eddiem67 · 10-26-2004, 05:10 PM

the 150 will be suffice, but if you decide to add another amp, you might run into problems. More is always better.

oibone781 · 10-26-2004, 09:50 PM

i'll be crazy to add another amp, this is to loud and my NF( bass adjustment on kenwood amps) is only on -13 but it can go up to positive 15 and my remote is on max, and this is to loud. so imagine if i get the new alt and put the nf on +15, i might blow my winshield..

eddiem67 · 10-27-2004, 10:42 AM

but you dont have an amp for your fronts yet right?

oibone781 · 10-27-2004, 05:49 PM

i have a jensen 600 4 channel for my highs

eddiem67 · 10-28-2004, 11:02 AM

the 150 should do
