bighossf150 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 thanks mrd6 im gunna take some pics of the mounting area and send them in to the companies see if they can figure somethin out. only thing that sucks is i dont really wanna be spendin 6-7 bones on an alt. i was hoping for more in the 450 range. but we get what we pay for. im assumin they made a custom housing for yours, what was it cost to you if you dont mind me askin? my 350 amp singer was in that price range Quote Used to have a loud truck 2009 Corvette Z06, H/C/I, 150 shot, g force tune, 730rwhp/690rwtq 2013 F-150 limited, MPT Tune, leveled on 35"s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiA6_audio Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 ok so going off of advice i found a xs D3100 for a decent price, its saying that it can support 4-5kw systems and would replace my stock battery. anyone think this will work or still use a batt bank in the rear. i only have room for one battery in the rear so i might be good getting 2 of these. but honestly im not lookin to go out n compete and will only be blasting in on occasions so do i really need all that extra reserve power?? any input is appreciated http://www.audiosavings.com/products/Car-Battery-and-Power-Cells/XS-Power-D3100-5000-Amp-AGM-Power-Cell-Car-Audio-Battery--Terminal-Hardware/D3100.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheena Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 okay for 5 thousand watts rms, i think your past the "blasting on occasions" part. sure it will work with a HO alt and a d3100 under the hood.. but enjoy your 20-30 seconds of "blasting" for a little car i would imagine that they would offer somewhere around a 200 amp alt in your price range. since you can fit a D3100 under the hood, i think a D3100 in the back and 2 runs of 1/0 pos and 2 runs of 1/0 neg should keep you around the 13V area.

Sheena Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 this is where my knowledge stops, but i think the next step besides a new alt is something like a batt isolator kit. could be wrong.

Tebo Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 if 450 is your price range i think you should REALLY try out singer alternators. he will email you a quote within 1-2 days and is very reasonable about the price for a unit. and then take 4 weeks to get your alt...

Rebel4055 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) this is where my knowledge stops, but i think the next step besides a new alt is something like a batt isolator kit. could be wrong. Don't need a isolator. The alt will be fine with 2 batteries. Edited March 30, 2012 by Rebel4055 Quote Rest In Peace mother.
