Posted May 27, 200817 yr Hey I'm trying to build a system for my 2000 nissan pathfinder...and unfortunately it only has a 90 amp alt, and I don't want to buy a H.O. alt, so how much power can I safely run?I was planning on getting an Arc Audio 1500v1 XXK, which I didn't realize is a class A/B monoblock amp that puts out 1000 watts RMS...so i'm guessing it's not as efficient as a class D of the same power...soo i could do the big 3 upgrade...but is a 1000 watt class A/B monoblock not a good idea for a 90 amp stock alt?thanks for the help
May 27, 200817 yr Depends on your goals and the rest of the system. Personally I wouldn't spend that much on a sub amp.
May 27, 200817 yr No.that amp will produce more heat than power...find a D class Mono Block like a SunDown Audio 1000d or 1500dbut i am Bias
May 27, 200817 yr Author Why not buy it then resell it to get something more efficient?how much would it go for on the forums? (trying to figure out if its worth the gas to go get it....)
May 27, 200817 yr Why not buy it then resell it to get something more efficient?Definitely, you will make some money on that deal.
