NightmareImpala Posted July 16, 2011 Report Posted July 16, 2011 I have added a battery in the trunk (xs power d3400) and I also have one under the hood. Would it benefit me to make a run of 1/0 from the alternator(mechman 270amp) to the back battery to go along with the 1/0 power and ground I already ran back there? TEAM DISTANT THUNDER
rickyfromthe407 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Posted July 16, 2011 It wont hurt anything. It could only make it better...As far as I know...

zx10intn Posted July 16, 2011 Report Posted July 16, 2011 i dont think it would hurt, but i would think its overkill big time. just make sure you have a solid 1/0 or larger from alt to batt and alt to ground up front, then a solid 1/0 from front to back and you should be good to go 1969 Chevy Chevelle 20/22" staggered Bonspeed Huntingtons wrapped in Nitto INVO's Mechman 250amp cs144 alt w/AVBM Kinetik 1800 main battery/Kinetik 2400 in the trunk Pioneer AVH-3200dvd Headunit (2) sets of Hybrid Audio Technologies Imagine components up front (2) DD 3512's d4 coils Sundown sax100.4 component amp Sundown saz-3000d subwoofer amp 5ft^3 box tuned to 34hz MY BUILD

zx10intn Posted July 16, 2011 Report Posted July 16, 2011 x2...but I dont believe in overkill You can never have TOO good of a charging system. well played! good point, i believe thats true as well, but to justify the $100-120 you will spend in 1/0 and two more fuse holders, i dont think you will see much of a gain 1969 Chevy Chevelle 20/22" staggered Bonspeed Huntingtons wrapped in Nitto INVO's Mechman 250amp cs144 alt w/AVBM Kinetik 1800 main battery/Kinetik 2400 in the trunk Pioneer AVH-3200dvd Headunit (2) sets of Hybrid Audio Technologies Imagine components up front (2) DD 3512's d4 coils Sundown sax100.4 component amp Sundown saz-3000d subwoofer amp 5ft^3 box tuned to 34hz MY BUILD

I am going to be running a pair of strapped aq2200's soon and I wanna have the best electrical possible Uhhh honestly youll be fine lol..... youd be fine w/ one 1/0 run from the alt to the battery in the front, and then one 1/0 run from the pos battery in front to pos battery in the back. then ground the rear batt to somewhere on the chassis and the amp to the battery... I didnt know you already had it that overkilled...lol. I wouldnt spend the extra 35$ on 1/0 cuz at 2.45$ a ft it adds up. youll spend atleast 25 on the 1/0 if u find it cheap. then about 7$ for a fuse and fuse holder...maybe more. But you can always make ur own fuse holder for under a buck... But yeah yoll be fine with what u got lol.
