Supercharged DCs Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Basically the title is the question. I plan to run 3200w in my system, and don't really want to upgrade my alternator & add a second battery. That's why I'm wondering if the Kinetic HC 3800 would be enough to power the system, with a stock alt and stock battery under the hood. My truck is a 2000 Dodge Dakota SLT, and I'm not sure on Alt size... If this wouldn't work, can anyone make some suggestions that would? I'm look to spend around $600 total for an electrical upgrade, which could include HO Alt/Batteries/ Big 3... Thanks for any replies Bassless once again. Can't seem to keep a system for more than a few weeks Saving for a '06 Nissan 350z, look for build around June 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ18 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 I would choose an XS D3100 over the Kinetik 3800 all day. With a 3100 in the rear, the big 3 and a run of 0ga front to back I think you should be ok. I would recommend looking into getting a 220A alt also in the future and upgrading your starting battery under the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlee2 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 you would be okay for awhile as long as you got a volt meter so you can keep a eye on it when your idling and playing it for awhile. I would suggest a ho alt in the future too 6 Sundown X 15s 2 Sundown NS1 V2s C Pillar 4th order Bagged Suburban on 24s http://youtube.com/tlee333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercharged DCs Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 How much would the XS 3100 cost me? And I do plan on upgrading to a HO alternator and putting a Yellowtop or something similar under the hood, but my project cost quite a bit for minimum wage on a part time job, so if I can cut cost to get the system done sooner, I will. I don't own a volt meter, my dealer might sell them, going to look into it next time I talk with him... Thanks for the input and advice yall, I really appreciate it! Bassless once again.
