I am running 2 amps in my truck right now. a 400 to my highs and a 1800 to my subs. Aside from obviously turning the amps down is there any other options to get more juice . At this point on a fast rock song the bass hits hard enough to drain my battery dry. Virgil told me the trail blazer alt is a higher out put then the trucks. If this is so would the same alt be on the v6 models or would it only be on the 5.3 blazer? Any ideas?
TrailBlazers have an inline 6 or a V-8. The six alternator probably won't fit. Not sure the rating on the V-8 model but it's surely higher than the one you have. You could also use a 145 or 160 amp from a Denali or Escalade.
Have you looked at all into a bigger battery??
+1...small wires cause fires!!...trust me :nono:Quote:

i told you the TBSS was the replacement to use its a 145 amp and its a direct plug in
All i rememberd was that it was something to do with a trail blazer. I am going to price one soon.
The big 3 is a necessity, and use 1/0 wire. Also, have at least 1/0 running to your amps as well
try using a capacitor
Caps act as another drain...this will make the problem worse. They are worthless.Quote:
