very sorry about changing your thread.....

i would NEVER advise someone like this a BTL...seriously no offense......thats my thoughts Why is that? Would it be better to throw 2000w to something else? OP wanted to buy another amp for his 1000w sub, a BTL makes more sense for that power, no? yes it makes sense if you want to throw more power to a subwoofer but it's just i dont want people coming on this forum thinking "i am gonna get a BTL and throw massive amounts of power on it" without any support of electrical...and thats what i want people to realize it takes alot more than a amp and sub to make things work.....

what kind of 300amp alt are you thinking of getting? I would at least replace my starting battery and add a couple in the rear too....maybe even do more than a single positive run of 1/0 to back batteries

midbass right next to your fucking leg!hahah

have you done the big three upgrade yet? what size wire are you using? 13.2 at idle? thats awfully low 0 guage all over car so wat else is there to without a h/c alt that's with the sub playin its at 13.2 idk what it is with off sry if i misunderstood you, i know you are using 1/0 but have you done the big 3? sry if you already answered but i wasn't sure whats the big three? it consists of three upgraded wires under the hood of the car.....remember when i say UPGRADE do not replace! depends on how hidden your alternator is to determine how hard it is to upgrade.... use 1/0 Alternator to Positive output on battery Negitive battery to chassis (make sure to have contact with bare metal) engine block to chassis definitely recommend doing this upgrade and then going from there

you will see, nope you do not need to take the rubber boot off

hhaha i just recognized your screen name is boobies on youtube....

those little guys looks like straight beasts!

time to whip out your handy dmm

i would personally just wait for the new Q if it is out, i havn't checked.. if you properly set your setting on that amp it will be perfectly fine

I'm north of Detroit about 45 minutes, place called Port Huron. I'm sure you've heard of it. Stupid blue water bridge makes this place famous for no reason. yep i have heard of that place...

looks like a good list of equipment....what are you doing with the hc800? is that going to be for the highs?.

Where abouts in MI are you from?

for starters what kind of model/brand amp do you have? and how do you have it wired from the sub to the amp?

oh it better be crazy... shizzy

Well Happy birfdAY!!

yes really. it's called head room. , you think all people will use it as headroom?(i like headroom too. ) Instead of cranking it up to the max, with sometimes not properly set gains. Not really smart to post that kind of stuff on a forum, where a lot of beginner's read up to gain knowledge and then they read that and think they need a bigger amp.(and burn woofers, and then ask what happened.) OP doesn't have to take my advice. It's just my 2 cents. If I had a choice of running a SSD with a 500 watt amp or 1000 watt amp I would choose the 1000 watt amp and set the gain lower to reduce strain on the amp. you guys are both right, it's just a personal preference.....if you have experience with setting proper gains and etc...then go for it.....but then again we don't want people coming on here reading that they can take a certain number of watts because then people will start to improperly tune there amps and bam we got a whole lot of fried subs....

Wait.. a local shop that claimed they can "beef up a stock alternator" and it worked?? -- first i heard of this. A friend actually did this, it was spendy, not as much as a brand new h/o! But only upgraded a little bit but maybe I will just do the big 3 add a second battery and do that. I plan on getting bigger amps eventually down the road but maybe I'll have a new car/suv by then with more cargo room lol. having someone re wound a stock alt. is really risky...it can be done properly or it can actually be worse than your stock alt. at idle. I would rather just purchase one of the best HO alts because i really dont want to go back and have to spend more money in the long run

got a good laugh out of me

haha yea i feel yea charleston's pretty cool, but drivin around there kinda sucks. I live maybe 30 mins from it, but i go there all the time. Ok so what would u guys suggest for the electrical? Big 3 all that jazz? Welcome to SSA! yes the big 3 should be good....maybe even get a volt meter and watch it
