Drommy Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Okay so I purchased the 2 Deka's. Now the new question is... Do I run one up front and one in the back or do I leave the stock Honda battery up front and run the 2 Deka's in the back??? Go ahead and run the two Deka's in the back with the stock Honda if you got the room and enough to make it look nice...also doing so will cause less voltage drops.... Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck this is not necessarily true. if his old battery is shot and cant be revived its not really going to benefit any from it.

Bumpindemlowzz Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Its really hard to have a decent system with no headlight diming, even with recommended batts and alts/big3. Im going to get hids which will resolve the headlight dimming issue. Quote 2010 Silverado 18" DC XL 18 DC 2k XS Power Batts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck this is not necessarily true. if his old battery is shot and cant be revived its not really going to benefit any from it. This. If the front battery is dead and you hook it up with the 2 Dekas, the voltage would try to level out between the 3 batteries. If the stock battery is "shot" (like N8 said), the two Dekas would also suffer because their resting voltages would be lower in most cases (due to the single bad battery). I hope this made sense to you Edited May 28, 2011 by hdorre Quote On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug118 Posted May 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) Makes perfect sense. What would qualify as "shot"? I'll do some testing with the DMM today.. Just don't know what to look for as far as the battery being dead. The car starts fine. The majority of songs at full tilt on the highway don't bring the voltage below 13.8-13.9 with the exception of Decaf songs and a few random songs. At idle and full tilt on the loudest songs the voltage will see 12.0-12.1 on certain notes but will always jump back up to mid 14's as soon as I hit mute or pause Here's a few videos from today of the voltage at my normal listening volume.

CaptainzPlanetz Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 I dont even think a Deka will fit under a honda hood Quote ¿ǝɯɐƃ ǝɥʇ Trolls never learn............

doug118 Posted May 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 I dont even think a Deka will fit under a honda hood Great point. I just went outside to take measurements and it will be extremely close. I'll have to wait until they get here to be sure. The date on the battery I have now says January 09. Resting voltage is around 12.6 Quote 2001 Tahoe.

n8ball2013 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 If your batt doesn't float above 12.5 and wont go any higher. It should rest at 12.8 plus Quote THERE IS NO BUILD LOG! 1998 Chevy Silverado ext cab Alpine CDA-9887 4 Team Fi 15s 2 Ampere Audio TFE 8.0 2 Ampere Audio 150.4 3 Digital Designs CS6.5 component sets Dual Mechman 370XP Elite alternators inbound! 8 XS Power d3400 6 XS power d680 Second Skin Stinger Tsunami Wiring Sky High A Real Voltmeter not a piece of shit stinger.
