  1. Adding another battery help

    in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring

    Posted

    Here is what I am working with to start off with.

    1996 gmc sierra 1500 5.0

    stock battery

    alt is replacement its a 130 amp or so

    system I have

    2 12in kicker L7

    AQ2200D

    What I want to do is I have enough room up front for 2 batteries stock and another across from it.(dont have much room for a battery in the back)

    My plan was to get a xs 3400 for the secondary battery. But I am now not sure if i can even run a AGM battery with my stock acid battery.(also Will be doing the big 3 soon as well)

    So is that possible if not what should i do i really don't want to fork out the money for a alt right now keep that in mind so any options would be appreciated thanks.

  7. Should i buy another battery

    Hopefully his alt would be enough to keep the battery charge and voltage stable. When the voltage did start to drop, the cap would help keep the voltage stable at 15v. Caps discharge and recharge a lot faster than batteries. Like a 100x faster I think. With that constant voltage he should constantly be pulling more current to his amp. That's the best I can explain it.

    I know where your coming from, but if he is sucking everything dry like that, he needs a bigger alt.

    so in the end its best to probably get a new alt and battery to be safe then sorry

    Hey everyone got a question.

    0 gauge wiring from battery to amp

    all i have that i am using for battery power is the stock battery so my question is should i add another battery i have room under the hood to mount a battery on the driver side were a battery would be if it were a diesel truck.

    that carpet looks AMAZING !!! great job on the box ... i will be building my second box ever first ported box hopefully i have the same luck as you do :-)

    Thanks just took my times as best i could with the box measured everything like 10 times lol.GL when you do build yours should turn out nice if i can do it anyone can lol

    sick box, wish my first box worked and looked like yours.. lol :drink40:

    Thanks yea i am glad it turned out nice and hope it will sound as good as it looks heh.

    Another tip i know a lot of people have table saw which would be nice but im not that lucky so i used a circular saw. But the tip that made all the cuts straight was getting a straight edge like a 2x4 and measure from the blade to the edge of the plate on the bottom of the saw and then clamp you 2x4 down and then run the saw along that and the cuts are perfect every time. hope that helps it did for me.
