cyoung Posted August 22, 2011 Report Posted August 22, 2011 i am planning on starting my build soon (dont worry, there will be a build log) and i plan on upgrading the electrical first. i was wondering if a 200 amp alternator and 2 batteries would be enough. heres a little run down of the system. HU: pioneer 7 inch touch screen deck front door: 6.5" Infinity kappa components rear deck: 6x9 3 way infinity kappa's speaker amp: DC 175.4 sub amp: DC 3.5K subs: 2x DC lvl 4 12" w/ lvl 5 coils and 2 extra spiders box: the biggest box i could fit is 4.7 cubes after displacement tuned to 32hz. subs/port firing forward and sealed off the trunk around the box. batteries: havnt decided. was looking at batt cap 2000's. i would be running 2 batteries in the trunk and 1 upgraded under the hood. 2 runs of 0 gauge wire from front battery to rear battery bank. so once again. do you think a 200 amp alternator and 2 batteries will keep my voltage around 14v with this setup btw its goin in a civic thanks
zx10intn Posted August 22, 2011 Report Posted August 22, 2011 which configuration vc on the subs? 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
StatingROBIN Posted August 22, 2011 Report Posted August 22, 2011 That should be good as long as you have zero gauge going from your alt to your front battery and a run on zero gauge going to one back battery and just daisy chain to the second back battery. My dad has a explorer and has the stock battery and stock alt and 4 of the batcap 2000s in the back and it sits at a good 14v
cyoung Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Posted August 22, 2011 well im planning on running the amp at 1 ohm so im guessing i would need to order 1 ohm subs right?

My dad has a explorer and has the stock battery and stock alt and 4 of the batcap 2000s in the back and it sits at a good 14v im getting upgraded charge cables so the wire will be thicker.. i will also do the big 3. and there will be 2 runs of 0 gauge to the back batt. and 2 runs over to the other battery

I would make your front battery a batcap 2000 just to have them the same

I would make your front battery a batcap 2000 just to have them the same i dont think a batt cap 2000 will fit under my hood lol.. the civic batteries are like skinny and rectangular.. not like the fullsize battery..i was thinking a kenetik 800 i think it is for the front
StatingROBIN Posted August 22, 2011 Report Posted August 22, 2011 I would do a 1400 or more if its your starting battery and the batcap 2000 is squared
