hey all
been thinking about upgrading my sound system (complete makeover) and realized i need to upgrade some other components of my vehicle first...
i have a 2003 mazda protege5
thinking about the following
-high output alternator
-big 3 upgrade (not sure what gauge/how much wiring to buy)
-add a second (kinetiks) battery
currently i have a 1000w alpine amp with 2x 12" ,alpine type R's (newest model) in a ported box and experience TREMENDOUS dims (believe it or not, have gone through 5 pairs of low beams over the last few months from blowing them)
MY PLANS:
-15" Orion Hcca 2ohm
-make a ported box for it
-Amp (not sure if hifonics zuse would be a good choice)
-the upgrades mentioned above
-(in the future i plan on getting a 4channel amp for mids/his and upgrading my door speakers and tweeters, keep that in mind)
BASICALLY, I am looking for input from yall as to what amp, alternator, battery, and wires to buy in order to upgrade... AND/OR if you have suggestions or pieces of information to tell me
Also I plan on doing all of this by myself, haven't done it before but I am not afraid to learn by trial and error (i have done a fair amount of research)
Thanks yall
