squidder Posted April 23, 2011 Report Posted April 23, 2011 I have a 2011 avalanche and was wondering what type of upgrades I would have to do in order to have enough power for 2000 Watts. What I need a new alternator? Or just a big battery? Thanks for the help Quote
That1Kid Posted April 23, 2011 Report Posted April 23, 2011 Big 3 in 1/0. Nice battery under hood. Should be good. Quote -98' Ford Expedition (Rest in Peace) -AVH-P3300BT -Crescendo BC5500 -4 18" DC m2 Level 3.
Vitacy Posted April 23, 2011 Report Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) ^^^ for a battery go with XS power. Edited April 23, 2011 by Vitacy Quote
Supercharged DCs Posted April 23, 2011 Report Posted April 23, 2011 I'm doing the Big 3 in my Dodge Dakota and have a XS D3400 under the hood, stock alt and I plan on running a AQ2200.

fmedina Posted April 23, 2011 Report Posted April 23, 2011 wait so big 3 and upgraded batt under the hood is all you need to run a 2200 amp? dam i thought you needed more than that Quote
dkahns51 Posted April 23, 2011 Report Posted April 23, 2011 wait so big 3 and upgraded batt under the hood is all you need to run a 2200 amp? dam i thought you needed more than that Nah, your alt is prob 120-150 already.. good enough.

My stock alt is 117A, I plan to watch my voltage but I think I'll be fine. Just watch your voltage and you should be good as well Quote Bassless once again.

fmedina Posted April 24, 2011 Report Posted April 24, 2011 very nice good to hear. so how do you know when to further upgrade your electrical. i heard on stock alt no more than 2k watts? Quote
Supercharged DCs Posted April 24, 2011 Report Posted April 24, 2011 The only way to know when to upgrade is to watch your voltage. If it drops too much, you should upgrade. However, I wouldn't attempt to put much more than 2000w on stock alt, wanna play it safe. Quote Bassless once again.
