What Electrical Upgrades Would I Need?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I drive a 2002 Saturn SL

Still using stock 90 amp alternator

Big 3 Upgrade in 1/0 gauge

What else would I need to power like 2500 watts off my electrical? Would 2 batteries help? If so which size batteries would you guys recommend?

I plan on running 3 Amps

(2) 1000watt Mono amps and a 320watt 4 channel

Thanks,

Dom

I would like to know the amps before I suggest anything...

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.

Im limited on space and AP amps usually do rated power, and these amps are extremely small profile amps.

You're going to see voltage drop, that is a very small alternator and having a huge battery bank might burn it out quickly. I would personally, if you're not going to upgrade the alternator, with an XS under the hood, and a D3100 in the back.

Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

Is it possible to leave the stock battery and just put a D3100 in the trunk? or is it better to put the new battery under the hood and not have one in the trunk?

Do you think I could get like 1400watts out of this stock setup for now?

Running just one of the 1k amps and the 320watt 4 channel?

or would i still need battery upgrades?

if you wanted performance and the ability to play daily i would say yes, upgrade the batteries. if you need, place the D3100 in the back and then save up until you can upgrade another link in the chain.

So its best to put one in the trunk. Then later put one under the hood

That is the route I would go. Unless your starting battery is running on its last leg.
