alternator/battery upgrade help


Recommended Posts

Posted

I just ordered all of my new car audio and I need some help on upgrading my electrical quickly so I can get everything hooked up. I will be running 4 re audio sxx 12's off of 2 re audio xtx 5000.1 amps. I will be running 5000wRMS. It would be great if I could get some alternator suggestions( size, brand, etc.) I'm really not sure what size of an alt. would be sufficient to keep it around 14 volts. I currently have a shuriken bt80 on top of my under hood stock battery from my old set up but still have the stock alternator. I will add another battery like mine also. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The vehicle is a 2003 hummer h2 by the way.

either the biggest alternator from mechman or dc power. get xs power battery. d3100 under the hood and i think 2 in the back should be good.

dam got ninja'd -.-

How do the Japanese feel about bass?

You know that since 03/11/11

Progene? I just saw that stuff on CNN. They said it makes your junk shrink all up. lol.

im pretty sure the op wont even notice if it gets even smaller.

lol i was gonna say.... was that planned? haha. but one mechman 270 will work good? and what is the advantage of the xs power battery over shuriken?

Xs Power makes some of the best AGM battereis around, it is one of the prefered battereis that this sites users prefer, including myself, I own both a d3100 and a d3400, I will always be putting an xs battery in ever car I own. They are extremely durable and hold there voltage under high loads, the d3100 was put under a 500 amp load and never dropped below 10.2volts over 30 seconds which is very impressive, nathan did this test on one of his youtube videos, Xs has always been a reliable company and has had great customer services, 270 is pretty good, if you can get a 350 I would do it, I have a 220 amp for my car which is the largest for mine that they will build, im gonna run 5000watts rms, havnt finsihed my system yet so Idk how stable this will be, ill find out I guess :D

thanks for the clarification! but 270 is the biggest they make for a hummer. I'll look into it some more. I'm definitely making my choice in the next day or two.

alright sweet, yea 270 is plent of power, ha ha, that will hold the voltage up no problem!
