okay fellars, i got a SAZ 3000D and i am going to be getting a WMD2R 15", it is a dual 1ohm sub, it does 1500 rms. with ease from what i understand, i am thinking that i will run the amp at 2ohms. so it will be an easy relationship on both, i know i could wire to .5 ohm and the sub will take alot more wattage......but i figure this will be plenty.

so my question is, with a 2 ohm load, what type of amprage should i have avaiable for my amp, like what size alt and battery combo,,,, i got the welding cable and plenty of it, so i got that part going on.

thanks Chop.

2ohm, i'd say about 80aH in the rear.

Alternator - 143.235663A

It must be that size or it won't work... sorry.

Oh wait, i have another option on the alternator!

140-160A would be fine for that ohm load for longterm daily.

If you ever wanted to change and run it at 1 ohm, u better get your 200A+ minimum...

It never hurts to get the biggest early if u do plan on going bigger later on.

man, i am not sure how long i want this truck, shizzzon, i want to build a wagon pretty bad, but i think for a while this sub / amp combo would be sweet, i mean i know i want to do something neat with the enclosure....

was thinking of sub up(inverted) port to the side with external aeros into like a loading chamber, but not real good with all of this yet..... will build something that increases it's output.

so the alt i would want would be that at idle though, right? any suggestions on make, i am looking for budget on any thing i got going, i am willing to save, but i dont want to go over the top yet either.

thanks Chop.

if u dont plan on keepin it long or upgrading, keep your stock alt as long as it's at least 100A.

Just dont ever sit at idle blastin.

right on.....thanks shizzzon

i run my my 3000d on about 200aH worth of battery with stock 120A alternator and i have yet to go below 12.6 even after 10min of straight play. Mind you that's a pretty decent battery bank but with music your never gonna have a full pull like you do on tones.

right on, there are some local guys that can upgrade my current alt so it is a little stronger, for cheap, then i am thiking of having dual batteries up front, plenty of room and dual in the rear, not huge ones but decent ones....
