JWBryant Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 I have heard about some electrical myths. Are deep cycle batteries, ot multiple batteries neccessary for high wattage systems, to be played while running, or do you just need and alternator if you will be running your vehicle. The thing was that batteries are only needed to start your car, and that the only reason some people have tons of batteries is to play music with the key off. Want to upgrade the electrical but now I am confused. Also if you do the big three upgrade will it burn out your alternator?

skittlesRgood Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 alt power is better than battery power but battery power is very useful while the car is on. no, the big 3 doesnt burn anything up. thats just stupid. unless of course you fuck up and short something out.

Team_DC-Derrick Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 more batteries = longer you can play with minimal voltage drop IF you dont have the alt power to keep up with your current draw. big 3 like skittles said, it allows for better flow... unless you fuck some of the wiring up... some how Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

JWBryant Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 So if I went and bought a deep cycle battery to replace my battery would it help any? Quote Basshead-in-Training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
412 CVX Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 So if I went and bought a deep cycle battery to replace my battery would it help any? it would help, but if you have the room, i'd just find a spot for the deep cycle in the trunk somewhere and use both batteries. 2 is better than one!

JWBryant Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Ok that reminds me of something else I read, it said if you had 2 batteries then they should be the same for equal charge time. ??? Quote Basshead-in-Training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlee2 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 It would better if their the same they don't have to be. Quote 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...

Guest DC Power Kyle Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 A lot of people need to remember that deep cycle batteries come in so many different ways.. for example a deep cycle battery could be a battery that is designed to pull 5 amps for 10 hours. this is horrible for car audio because our amplifiers want the power NOW. When the amps can't get the power quick enough because the battery can't supply it quick enough you get more voltage drop than normal. Go watch XS Powers video of their batteries vs the competition to understand more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Said, this is why AGM batteries are so perfect for the job of car audio, they last a long time, can pull more current instantly due to the low resistance, and they wont spill out of they do not seep out toxic hydrogen gas if used correctly, so you can have them in the cabin of the car, other battery types are not as safe to have in the cabin of your vehicle, so do it with caution Quote 2006 Mazda3 Hatchback Black 5 Spd ManualPioneer 4300DVD2 Sundown SA-12 (34hz Tune, 3.22 cubes, 14.5 inches per cube, Triple Baffle)Kicker 10ZX2500.1 (2845 RMS) Sub AmpKicker 11ZX650.4 (705 RMS) Mid Amp -- (3 Amps)Kicker KQ3 Active CrossoverKicker KQ30 EqualizerKicker 09QS60.2 Components (Woven Carbon Cones)Kicker 09QS65.2 Components (Woven Carbon Cones) - (3 Sets)2/0 Gauge Electron Beam Technologies (3 Runs, 2 +, 1 -) 1/0 Gauge KNU Kollasal Flex (1 Run for -) 300 Ft Kicker X-Series 16 Gauge Speaker WireXS Power D3400 (Rear)XS Power D3100 (Front)Singer Externally Regulated Alternator (Being Built)+ The Love for Car Audio and BASS <3UBL Build Log <------- Click Here-------> Normal Build Log (For Comments) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
