June 10, 201015 yr Author What does your electrical system consist of?0 gauge big 3 0 gauge grounds and positive, 1 kinetic hc600 on back and stock alternator..
June 10, 201015 yr A stock battery, and an HC 600 really aren't enough for a 2,500 watt amp. I'm surprised your Q isn't dead from clipping yet.

I'm surprised your Q isn't dead from clipping yet.should i get a bigger battery?? and what do you mean by clipping?? the sub gets warm but not hot.. and also i make sure the subwoofer isnt bottoming out..
June 10, 201015 yr Getting warm is normal, but clipping will cause thermal failure of your woofer. Your amplifier sends a square signal to the woofer, not a sine wave, when it does not have the necessary power your telling it to amplify (with the volume knob).

June 10, 201015 yr A larger alternator will not fry your electronics, it will merely output more amps than your stock alternator.If you plan on upgrading at all, get a bigger alternator, if you plan on sticking with that amp get a bigger battery, replace the one under the hood with a better battery or get a bigger Kinetik for the rear, both if you want. Nothing wrong with extra power.

June 10, 201015 yr So you have a D2 Q? What is your amp wired to, 1 or 4 ohms? Try wiring to 4 ohms, as that will help with heat and your electrical system a lot.

Try wiring to 4 ohms, as that will help with heat and your electrical system a lot.my amp is wired to 1 ohm. ill wire the sub to 4 ohms so the amp performs at 4 ohms probably 400p-600 wrms for right now.. but what will i do when i get my second Q? SHOULD I GET A 24OO KINETIK BATTER ON BACK? because then i def will have to wire the amplifier down to 2 ohms..
