87chevyboi Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 alright i know this might have been answered before so before you say use the search button i have and have not returned the answers i wanted so im asking. I have a 97 tahoe which i am looking to run 5k total watts. I have been researching batterys and every one ive found has been ridiculously high, which you get what you pay for but i am just wondering as to if anybody has any different batterys on their car that they run for the system. Im going to get a mechman or dc 270 amp alternator and ive ran some wires from front batt to hook up to back batterys. Lemme know what yall think Quote My build aka Snow White whats wrong with fat chicks? they are like mopeds, as long as your friends dont see you riding it, they are a blast! hahah I am dumb as a stump. I live in the south and we are all dumb here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarball Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 a few d3100 should help though you may need a 2nd alt. You are talking 5kw RMS right? Like you said you get what you pay for. If you can't afford the high dollar stuff and you dont want to save over time you may need to rethink and downgrade your system goals.

Skullz Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Look into deka batteries as an alternate to xs power if your on a budget. Quote 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
