deni91 Posted November 28, 2007 Report Posted November 28, 2007 I wanna hook up an extra battery and i was wondering if i had this planned out right: Run the power wire from the battery under the hood to the extra batt in the trunk. Ground the batter in the Trunk. Run positive wire from battery in the trunk to amp and ground the amp. I have a stock alternator and was wondering if i would be doing this correctly and if it is alright to wire the battery's like this.
gremlin Posted November 29, 2007 Report Posted November 29, 2007 ok that being cleared up, will it put an extra strain on the original alternator? current set-up: headunit: kenwood excelon kdc-x891 mids: front: mb quart reference 6.5s rear: pioneer TSA941 6x9 mid and high amp: performance technique ICBM-773 sub amp: kicker 08zx2500.1 subs: (2) 08s15l7d2 4.25 cubic foot sealed box big 3 all in hooker 1/0 wiring Sacrifice your car to the Audio Gods and DBs will come.

GHOPPOMAN Posted November 29, 2007 Report Posted November 29, 2007 if u r useing 0 ga (which u should) then use a 300 anl at each batt. and u will be fine.
gremlin Posted November 30, 2007 Report Posted November 30, 2007 ok. got it. alright im new to this dual battery set-up but i really need it and can think of one more question. if i were to run two batteries, it would still be at 12 volts, right. it wouldnt go up to 24 or somewhere in between that wouldn`t be safe for my amps, right? current set-up: headunit: kenwood excelon kdc-x891 mids: front: mb quart reference 6.5s rear: pioneer TSA941 6x9 mid and high amp: performance technique ICBM-773 sub amp: kicker 08zx2500.1 subs: (2) 08s15l7d2 4.25 cubic foot sealed box big 3 all in hooker 1/0 wiring Sacrifice your car to the Audio Gods and DBs will come.
