Alternator Amperage? Reply #16 – January 17, 2006, 09:50:03 PM So say for example I wired the 4ohm dash speaker in parallel with a 4ohm door speaker, could I run it safely off of a 4ohm amp lead? Quote Selected

Alternator Amperage? Reply #19 – January 18, 2006, 05:27:53 PM Thanks for the info! You guys really have no idea of how much I appreciate the help! I have decided to go with an Alpine HU, Alpine R-Series 6x8s in the deck, and Alpine R-Series 6 1/2s in the doors and just leave out the dash speakers altogether for now. I'll just run all new cable to the doors and deck and power them from the HU. Like I said in a previous post, I'm mostly about sound quality, not SPL, and I am on a budget of under $500 for everything and getting a new alternator setup (pulleys, brackets, new wiring kit, etc plus the cost of everything else puts me WAYY over budget (about $1300). I have read a lot of reviews on people using the R-Series off the HU amp, and they seem to not feel the need for a sub since they do go down to about 30Hz. I want to hear my bass rather than feel it. I also was able to return my subs to Crutchfield and get my money back, which I am very happy about! If I do feel the need for more sound, I will buy the two 3.5" Alpine dash speakers and a new Alpine 40wx4 car amp to replace the stock amp. At which point I will wire the doors and rears to the amp, and the dash speakers off of the HU... I'll have to wait and see how it sounds. Quote Selected

They are recommended for Great base off head unit power, I used to run 2 of them a long time ago had a great sound. CHeck ebay viewed breifly had some for about 10 buck and up Quote Selected
