Yea an just for fun, I checked my voltage at amp (AQ1200D at 1) and my drop is from 13.98v to 13.69v, on my highest listening level. Battery up from reads 14.08v but didn't measure it's drop.
Ehh maybe, I checked yesterday and I feel confident with the amount of open space to the side of my current alt, I could fit a 2 more alts if I had the fab skill, as in room, not that I would. Dual stock is an option.
Yea I need to look around. Even though mechman and dc power make solid units, I don't want to spend 450-500 dollars on a alternator, but idk I might have to.
As of now I'm checking out DC Power to see if they have anything that fits my application, which is probably like 220 amps or so. Hopefully I can find one that isnt $500 though.
My front battery spot wont hold a REALLY GOOD battery, tried to find an XS or Kinetik to replace but the juice wouldnt be worth the squeeze in that sense. I could add a fat ass batt in the back, i would just need to find a place for it.
trust me i know the whole, it takes power to make power, but for my application, hence not competing, i was looking for a daily thing, drives usually never over 15 or 20 minutes, and bassing about 10 of those minutes.
Ok i have big 3, big ass interstate battery, stock alt (i think its like 110 or 105 amps), as of now i have a AQ1200D at 13.6 volts and 1 ohm, full tilt with virtually zero voltage drop. What would be better, 2 batteries (roughly 250 ea) or 1 HO alt (roughly 400) around 250-280amps? Looking to run 2 AQ1200Ds for daily.
Wire all the coils in parallel, then wire the subs in parallel in pairs(now there are 3 pairs of dvc4s wired to 3 1 ohm loads). Then series them together aka 3 ohms.

i got ninja'd!
and the way my spot was were people usually run power wire, up at the pedal area, is so cramped and a hard position to get to so i went to home depot and got a bit(up to 3/4, not a unibit, and it was like 7.50) that bores(dont know if i spelled that right) metal and picked up my dewalt impact and went to work. took like 5min to run my wire.
i did. i dont have anything covering the outside of it but it is also like 18inches or more from the ground and ran above the frame and almost completely shielded from the ground.
