hi all i have a lightning audio storm x1.800.4 amplifier it is connected to a IXOS GT 1F cap with 4 gauge wiring. im on stock alternator and its now failing(it gives 13.5volts :(   ) have a alpine cda-9815 head unit.

in my 97 corolla i have front: phoenix gold 6.5" octane components 70rms and rear: pioneer 6x9" 60rms(i think) and for sub: lightning audio strike S4.12.4 300rms.

i bridged 2 channel for the sub(400rms x 1)REAR      and plugged the 2 left channels and 2 right channels in parallel in the left and right FRONT

so that means my amp is giving 400rms x 1for sub + 200rms x 2 for speakers.

i know about changing my alternator its coming in 2 weeks or so

so what improvements should i do to my system

any ideas?

thanks for your time guys

Get the alternator in, and see what that fixes. I can tell you this pretty much for sure, cut AT LEAST 25 to 33 percent off those output numbers. The LA amps ain't all that...
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

my next alternator is going to output 120 amps max because i cant fit a bigger alternator i must use the original casing is it going to be enough for my amp and my electrical system of my car, my A/C is always on and my lights too.

im on a 1F cap for the amp.

and what is these things about LA underating their amp? it costed me like 1000 more canadian.

then if it is crap what can i buy next time. im aiming for a 4 channel + mono amp system i want alot of bass but quality too(listening to classic and hiphop....x1.800.4 install - Last Post -- posted image.) any ideas about some brands?

also i want more than 50rms channel..

any good package idea folks?? x1.800.4 install - Last Post -- posted image.
