fli_noize Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 We are finishing up a system in a 1966 Oldsmobile 98, just waiting for the alternators to get here. I was wondering how guys are wiring their dual alt setups on their 3K-4K systems. I see some people go straight from each alt to a bank of batteries in the back. I see some people piggy back the alts and go to the rear. I also see some people piggy back the Alts, go to the front battery and then from there go to the 2 or 3 batteries in the back. What things need to be considered when choosing which route to go. I'm about to run a second 0 gauge line for power. There are only 2 batteries in the back for now because the customer isn't sold on how important a good bank of batteries are so he is just putting 2 yellow tops in the back. My plan was to do a run of 0 guage from one alternator to one of the yellow tops, and then a run from the other alternator to the other yellow top. Any suggestions or opinions?

SnowDrifter Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Get some aluminum/copper buss bars, hook all the +'s of the batteries and alternators to it. Ground everything to the frame as usual. Don't forget to fuse everything and isolate the bar from the frame. ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
