for this application or do you mean on your amp?

if you already have the big 3 done you're next step is a capacitor. if that doesn't help you are looking at a h/o alternator and battery upgrade.


have a 5 faret cap already

Meant w7... L7 is kicker square solo's hahah sorry.  But I'd get a pair of w3's, use the same amp, love the output.


i dont like Kickers... still have an solo 12 inch (round) that is laying around

well depending on his current battery and alternator it might all just be pissing in the wind. idk his cars specifics so idk what the best route would be ><

lol ya ran across those kits a couple months ago. i was so use to just buying it separately i didn't even think of a "kit" until i seen it in the menu tab lol.

yea i see the kit.. i have bigger wires all around... with a 200 amp fuse

if its my alternator i'll probably just leave it as is untill i get a new car.. too much to invest on a old car like mines..

you can probably find a cheap alternative(something off another car that fits yours) to help. would take some research on your part but you could probably get a more powerful alternator for pretty cheap like this.

i'm not sure if you're realizing what its for so ill just link this to get over this confusion.http://forum.sounddomain.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/312025/page/1

nah they are a perfect match up. 750@3 ohms :)


most of JL's amps do the same amount of power .5 to 4 ohms...especially the slash series.

wouldnt hurt to get a decent battery too. Optima yellow tops around 200$ I burned out an alternator and ran on battery alone for 3 days before i was worried. popped in a 200 amp alt and charged battery overnight and voltage meter doesnt even move with lights stereo and a/c on.

If your alt sucks, and you add accessories like a bigger batt, big cap, you're putting more of a strain on your alt. I forgot but I hope you're using a class D amp.
