Will my stock alternator hold my sound system?
I have a 2004 Ford F150 and I wnated to know if my alternator will hold up!
You should be ok. I got 2 amps running on my car. Did the big 3, optima battery, kinetic battery and 0 awg already and yes I have a capacitor as well. Try upgrading your wirin (Big3) its cheaper than buying an alternator. Me personally haven't had a problem with any capacitor i've ran or had.
I'm running an alpine type r 15 at 2 ohms on a Rockford fosgate t1500 amp all powered my my stock alt and battery from my Mercedes c240. And my volts drop to about 12.9 on the smd vm1. So I think you would be good considering my alt is like 80 amps if that.
Because you have a truck, it's possible you have a larger alternator. I think the standard equipment one is like 125 amps. Also, what engine is in it?
You'll be fine I run three 12's with individual Amps and my battery voltage is fine
How many watts is the sound system? It will probably be fine if you're under 1,000 watts peak power. If you're over that, I might look at other options. Stay away from capacitors though. They're garbage.
- What is a good car that can hold 6-8 people and had good gas milage? I don't want a minivan. Right now I have a ford freestyle. I'm looking for under $5,000 and can get around to 40 miles per gallon
- Is a 130 amp alternator good for a 1200w system? I have a 1999 Ford Taurus SE and I recently looked up stock alternators to see how many amps my alternator was putting out. Everywhere I look i see 130 amps and I wanted to know if that is good (higher end, lower end, or average). And if you could, give me an example of how many amps are bad, and how many amps would be really good for a 1200w system.
- What sound system should I add to my 2003 Ford Mustang 2 door, 6 cylinder, 3.8L? I don't know much about cars and audio systems but I was looking to add a good audio system to my car. I basically want the car sound to be a lot louder, but sill be clear. I also want a stronger bass. Basically I want the car to be able to shake if I want it to. I looked into the Mach 1000 audio system but not sure if that s good or what to get with it if you even do that. Like I said, I'm not a car literate person.
- Does the 101a Sync 3 Package in the Ford Mustang upgrade the sound system? I know it adds 3 extra speakers but is the sound system or sound quality any better than the base sound system?
