trjohnst Posted July 7, 2011 Report Posted July 7, 2011 I need to upgrade my electrical in order to run my BC2000D efficiently. I have a new, stock Honda battery in my 91 Accord, a new 80 amp alternator, big 3 done, and am using Knu 1/0 for my wiring. I was previously thinking about adding some battery to my trunk for my amp, but ended up not doing it because I was told a couple times that it wouldnt be a good idea because of the strain on my alternator. I dont want to get a HO alternator because my car is old and may be replaced soon. What upgrade can I do to stop my voltage drops, would adding 1-2 batteries be the best idea? 1991 Accord Audioque HDC3 15" (Copper)<--Sub Audioque HDC3 15" (Copper)<--Backup Sub Crescendo BC2000D<--Amp Big 3 1/0 Knu<--Wiring Eonon 3.5" DVD<--Headunit Infinity Kappa Perfect<--Mids & Highs 2nd Stock 80Amp alt. 1991 Mustang 5.0 Too many mods (Sold) 1991 240sx SR20 Red Top Too many mods (Sold) 2004 GTO Just starting mods
lifted_silverado Posted July 7, 2011 Report Posted July 7, 2011 Yup, add a batt in the back. With the big 3 done it should be plenty Everythings in the attic or garage since the truck was sold last year. New build should be coming soon in a dodge cummins
Supercharged DCs Posted July 7, 2011 Report Posted July 7, 2011 I'd add a XS D3100 in the rear, should easily keep voltage up. 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.
TeejayBee Posted July 7, 2011 Report Posted July 7, 2011 get the biggest batt you can upfront and then do a d925 in the back or two i have stock batt up front and two d925s in the rear but i have a 120a alt
trjohnst Posted July 8, 2011 Author Report Posted July 8, 2011 What kind of battery should I get? I dont want to spend a lot of $, but do want something quality. Would it be worth getting it used or is that not a good idea for one of these dry/gell batteries? 1991 Accord Audioque HDC3 15" (Copper)<--Sub Audioque HDC3 15" (Copper)<--Backup Sub Crescendo BC2000D<--Amp Big 3 1/0 Knu<--Wiring Eonon 3.5" DVD<--Headunit Infinity Kappa Perfect<--Mids & Highs 2nd Stock 80Amp alt. 1991 Mustang 5.0 Too many mods (Sold) 1991 240sx SR20 Red Top Too many mods (Sold) 2004 GTO Just starting mods
Louisiana Bass Posted July 8, 2011 Report Posted July 8, 2011 An XS d3400 will be fine on 2k watts as a single batt or secondary. N8. No homo...unless you want there to be.
kam311 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Posted July 8, 2011 I'm sorry I can't tell you much about buying used batteries, but I did see a "things to look for when buying used batteries" inthe xs power section here on the forum, check it out! I couldn't tell you what it says cause I havnt read it, but it might help! so far...
