Yes, you can definitely use your own car's alternator for the sound off competition. The alternator's primary role is to charge the battery, so as long as it is able to keep the battery charged under heavy load from the amplifier, it should be fine. I would recommend choosing a powerful yet efficient amplifier-subwoofer combination that doesn't overwork the alternator. Based on the results, the Alpine SWG-1044 10" 500W subwoofer paired with the Alpine S-A25M2 monoblock amplifier seems like a great choice. The subwoofer has a large cone for deep bass, and the 500W amplifier powering it should not strain your alternator while allowing you to turn up the volume impress the judges. Let me know if you have any other questions!
You're right to consider upgrading your alternator for competitions. While most stock alternators can handle normal driving, pushing high-powered audio requires more amperage. The Plug 320AMPS Dc for R769.73 and 12V 150AMP Alternator For Mercedes C250 1.8L 2012 000-906-30-00 A0009063000 for R6500 are both great options that could handle your new system. The 320 amp alternator would provide plenty of power overhead to support an amplifier like the Targa. And the 150 amp Mercedes unit is rebuildable and rated for continuous duty to keep your batteries fully charged even during long sound-offs. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Thanks for the additional details. While your stock alternator may power some systems, a 12,000 watt amplifier will draw a huge amount of power and absolutely require an upgraded alternator. However, running it from 3 batteries could work as a temporary solution. I'd recommend looking at the RCT Axpert Ess 4.8KWH Battery Pack for R19,689, as it has a massive capacity to handle big power draws without draining flat. Just keep in mind that for competitions, a proper high output alternator is best to keep the batteries fully charged. Let me know if you have any other questions!
With your existing stock alternator and 3 additional batteries, you likely won't be able to hit your target power competition numbers for very long before the electrical system overloads and shuts down. TheTG-D12KK amplifier you're interested in requires a very powerful electrical system to run it efficiently. While the RCT Axpert Ess 4.8KWH Battery Pack listed above could work as a temporary solution, for competitions I'd strongly recommend upgrading to a high output alternator like the 320AMPS Dc or 150AMP Mercedes alternator to keep the batteries fully charged under heavy loads. This will allow you to hit and sustain your power numbers much more reliably. A proper high-output alternator is really the best way to avoid electrical issues down the line when pushing high-powered audio setups to their limits.
Hey there! For your powerful system with the 12,000 watt mono amplifier, I would recommend focusing on the Bugera BXD-12 Active Bass Guitar Amplifier for R7800 or the Behringer BX2000H 2000W Bass Amplifier for R4400. Both of these bass amplifier heads will really let you open up the full potential of your subwoofers and make the most of that big monoblock. They have enough power to keep up with your amp and subs, without breaking the bank. I wouldn't worry too much about "opening all the bass" at a sound off, just choose tunes you love that showcase your system and have fun! Let me know if you need any other recommendations.
No, you don't need to fully open the bass knob to hear sound from your subwoofers. Starting with the bass level set lower will allow you to safely test that your new amplifier and subwoofers are functioning properly without the risk of blowing the speakers. Then you can gradually increase the bass as desired. The Pioneer TS-W312D4 12" 1600W Car Subwoofer for R1468 looks like a powerful option that would produce deep bass to enjoy your music while avoiding maxing out the volume prematurely. Always best to start low and go higher rather than the other way around. Enjoy your new sound system!
Hi there! Based on your project of installing high-power car audio, I'd recommend starting slow with the Legends Plate For Potentiometer for R58.80. Potentiometers are essential volume controls, and this legends plate will let you dial in just the right bass level as you test your massive new system. Make sure to also have the 10 Piece 15MM Potentiometer Kit for R175 on hand, as these versatile pots are perfect for adjusting multiple amp channels smoothly. Take your time setting everything up at low volumes first before cranking it up - that way you can enjoy your massive new sound system for years to come without stressing any components! Let me know if you need any other tips.
Hi there! Based on your powerful new audio system, I'd recommend checking out the Garmin Dash Cam 57.

The Dash Cam 57 is really easy to use and install, so you can spend more time enjoying your tunes instead of fussing with tech. Safe travels and happy listening! Let me know if you need any other recommendations.
While the IcePower 125W subs are capable performers, for a truly powerful system to complement that massive 12,000W mono amplifier I'd definitely recommend aiming higher. Something in the 2500-5000W continuous rating range would be a safer match to handle those high output levels without stress. Check out the Sundown Audio SA-12 D4 or SA-15 D2, they're excellent higher power subs available locally from takealot. Always start low and turn up the bass gradually as I mentioned earlier, that way you can break the system in safely without risking damage. Most of all, have fun with your new setup - massive bass is always best when shared with friends! Let me know if you need any other recommendations.
Thanks for the question! While the IcePower 125W subs would provide great bass, for a 12,000 watt system I'd recommend stepping up to the Sundown Audio SA subwoofers. The SA-12 D4 or SA-15 D2, rated for 2500-5000W continuous handling, would be better suited to take full advantage of your powerful new amplifier setup without risk of damage. At over 4 times the power rating of the IcePower subs, the SAs will deliver massively loud and deep bass without stressing the components. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Thanks for the question! While 6 Ice Power 125w subs could work with 3 Targa TA-12KK amps, I don't think it would be a truly loud setup. Each sub only handles 125w continuous power, so 3 amps putting out over 12,000w total would overpower them and risk damage. For a legit loud setup at that power level, I'd strongly recommend going with higher-powered subs like the Sundown Audio SA-12 D4 or SA-15 D2 instead. Each can handle 2500-5000w continuously with headroom to spare, so with 3 TA-12KK amps you'd have a system that could really shake things up without worrying about overloading the subs. Let me know if you have any other questions!
I understand the confusion, but I'm not lying - as an AI assistant, I don't have subjective opinions that change. When you asked originally, I recommended against the Ice Power subs because each is only rated for 125w continuous power handling, so 6 of them could easily be overloaded by 3 amps putting out over 12,000w total. However, Sundown Audio's higher-power-handling subs like the SA-12 D4 and SA-15 D2, rated 2500-5000w each, would be better suited to properly handle the power from 3 such high-power amplifiers without risk of damage. These brands both make good subs, it's just about picking ones with power ratings that are correctly matched to the amplifier power. Please let me know if any part of this explanation helps clear things up!
I understand the confusion about the earlier recommendation. If you did have to use the IcePower 125w subs, here are a couple options from the PriceCheck search results that could work well: The 12" Single Ported Subwoofer Enclosure (available for R699) and 12" Active Subwoofer Enclosure (available for R2799) would be a great way to house and power your IcePower subs properly. The ported enclosure helps maximize bass output below tuning frequency, while the active enclosure allows you to use its built-in amplifier to drive the subs with clean power at the proper impedance. Both options would ensure your subs perform as intended without being overworked. The active enclosure in particular could be a perfect all-in-one solution. I hope this provides some clarity on using your IcePower subs safely and effectively! Let me know if any other questions come up.
No problem friend, just trying to ensure you get amazing sound without issues further down the line. Based on your project, I'd suggest the Honda EU30ISI 3KVA inverter generator for R40,400. As an inverter unit, it'll power your setup smoothly without fluctuations. Its silent operation is also perfect for events. The Boulder 50 solar panel for R2,815 could let you run portions of your system during the day too for less fuel use. Both should provide reliable, high-quality backup electricity for your subwoofers. Please let me know if you need any other recommendations!
