how much power can we produce?

[jodm2007]

I was planning an install w. one 1000 rms amp for a sub and a 4 x 75 rms amp for my speakers. I was wondering if you guys think i will have a problem pulling that much power. I havnt done any mods. Do you think i will have a problem? if so, any suggestions?

well my cousin has 2 12" arc audio's and both have there own 1000 watt amp. so 2 speaker and 2 amps. he has an extra kinetic battery that runs in series to power his amps. so hell yea do it make that truck pound!

thats what i was thinking. ive also found a lot of info on this forum about doing a grounding kit. I was really trying to ask, will this be necessary? or should my truck be able to handle this load stock?

Well here are some more options. You can also run 2 batteries instead of one battery. This is an Expensive deal but worth it in my mind. To do so, you MUST buy a battery with the same CCA and CA, preferably the same brand as well.

For example, I have 2 Optima Yellow tops

Another option is the alternator upgrade. I also have this done to mine. You should go to a junkyard and pull one for $50 or so from a 90-02 Nissan quest (or Mercury villager) considering you have a VG33 engine. This will produce 110 amps.

Additionally you could purchase a capacitor.

I drive an X so I have way more room on the inside. If I were you, I would do the alternator as to take up the least amount of room.

what year and model is your truck? better battery and upgrading the wires will help. a capacitor is nothing more than a band aid to the real problem. you do know that a 1000w sub is gonna drown out your highs that are only 75w. unless thats what your aiming for.

By my math you're not going to make that on a standard alternator, wiring and battery system with a stock first or second gen Frontier. IMHO you could get much better ballanced sound with no mods if you rethink the sub. Of course, it's your truck and your $.

Make sure you get a class D amp for sure, something very effecient.
Install a grounding kit.
If only running one battery upgrade it.
Bridge your 75X4 amp to just one good set of components up front, or run the tweets on 2 channels and the mids on the other 2 channels.

well i agree that the sub is too powerful for the speakers. The only reason I am doing this is because a friend is giving me a reallly good deal on the sub. I was thinking about a less powerful sub, but for the same price I could get double the power... still up in the air.

I have a 2006 frontier crew cab se.

I am open to all suggestions, and I respect the honesty.

if its that good of a deal put the amp and sub on craigslist or ebay and make some extra money to buy a better matched setup.

i was running a JL 1000.1 and a Kicker 850.4 with just a 1.5 farad cap and it was fine
