Damn it looks really good! Vids!

Damn that's a nice ride

No problem

^x2

If thats the case, any amp can take a 0/1 lol My thoughts exactly ^ true If you want to run 1/0 to that amp use a 1/0 to 4 gauge reducer http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_16846_Stinger-SPT821-Gold.html

Looks good

man i know amps do, im just saying by running around 3000rms would an 200amp be fine to keep the voltage up better, and stop all the light dimming!!!!! We didn't know you were gunna run 3000rms That's the info we needed Any upgraded h/o alt will help way more then stock IMO get the biggest one you can fit on your vehicle/afford

^this

The amp takes 4 gauge

So your walling it off?

Looks good rob! Ima come by the shop and check it out soon I gotta pick up a 12v relay for the bypass on my screen for the tahoe

X2 Or maybe even more power for less

hell yea bro that is luck but like he said a good alarm is the best investment if you have expensive equipment ive had my windows busted out of my burb twice and both times i had my system in there and my wallet with cash my iphone on the charger and some expensive sunglasses and the alarm scared em off

Damn the box looks so good! Can't wait to see it with some LEDs inside

JUST 12 Either way it will be sick I can't wait to see this!

Rims look so good Def set the car off Can't wait to see her Rollin

Damn that's alot of woofa Are you doing 12 or 16??

yes the stock battery is up by the firewall and is gunna be a pain in the ass to work with why do you say it could fry the alt? puttin to much stress on a stock alt? on my burban i have two runs of 1/0 coming of the back of my alt one two each of my D3400 under the hood with no problems (but its a 300 amp alt.. ) Well, they are common points, true. But here is my reasoning. When you have a run from alt. to batt 1 to batt 2, the alternator charges them in sequence. For example, the alt will charge your main battery first...then when it is charged, it will move on to your bank battery and charge it. This means that it may take longer to fully charge both batteries, but it will be a safe and consistent draw from your "STOCK" alternator. Now, if you have a run from your alt directly to each battery, then your alternator is having to work double to keep a charge on both of those batteries at the same time. It would take half the time to charge the two batteries, but like i said, your alt is trying to charge them both at one time, therefore it is working hard. If you take into equation both batts are drained one morning, you get in the hoe, and start bumping, then you got even more strain on that "STOCK" alternator...making more chances for magic smoke. This is just my reasoning behind all this...if someone sees flaws in it, please correct me...don't eat me alive. Unfortunately, this is incorrect. Think about this for a second. You have two glasses, both empty and desire to fill them. You can do this one of two ways: 1. Set them side by side, under a funnel with two outlets - one into each glass. You pour water into the funnel and half of it is directed into each glass. 2. Connect each glass together at the bottoms with a 10 foot long tube that runs between the two - as in between them at the VERY bottom. The bottoms of both glasses are at the exact same height and the tube between them is absolutely level. You pour water only into one glass at the same rate as above. Which will fill the glasses faster? Will one glass fill quicker than the other in either example. Sometimes it is easy to grasp fundamentals like this when you use water analogies. I'm going to do the big three to both the batteries so both batteries will have a charge line from the alt and a frame and engine ground all with 1/0 Should be ok for 2200WRMS

yup except that is where my stock battery is im gunna do the big three to both batteries all the electrical under the hood is stock right now

nope i dont own a clamp YET its on my list i know im glad it came with a decent size stock alt i think the duramax trucks have 200 amp stock alts i wanna find one of those and put it on there

Im Just Gunna Do the Big Three On Both Thanks for the quick reply!!

ok i already have a thread about this but since its about an XS battery i wanna post it in here and hopefully nathan will chime in... ok so i have a 2007 tahoe and it came with a second battery tray that will hold a D3400 the truck has a stock 160 amp alt the D3400 will power a single AQ2200D witch will be the only amp in the truck my questions is should i do the big three on both batteries or only the D3400? the stock battery will not have anything aftermarket hooked up to it? Also will The 160 amp alt have trouble charging the stock battery and the D3400?

But it's a larger stock alt it's 160 amp so I'm thinking do the big three on both and connect positive to positive and maybe the same with negative
