[heydude348]

New to the site and been out of the car audio for like 25 years, so speak slowly and dumb down the answers for the Dude.So here goes,build is a 2000 Integra GSR.Looking to put Pioneer Avic D3, MB Quart separates, 2 JL 10W7(sealed) and 3 amps.2 JL 500/1( one for each 10W7) and a 300/4 for separates.Question is about alternator, supply wire and fuses.Don't want to go crazy with the alt,keep cost down,but don't want to cut my self short on supplied power.What size, and any suggestions on make/model, should I look for in an alternator?What about supply wire?Size from battery to dist. block?How about main fuse from batt. considering my load?Wire size from dist. block to each amp?Also, do you see a need for another battery, and if so, how big and how would I go about wiring it in to the system?Parr. or series?Is a battery isolator needed?I know it is a long winded question, but I would like to do the build right the first time.I am also doing the build with my son, so I am trying to show him the correct way not the easy way.?Thnks for your time.

What size, and any suggestions on make/model, should I look for in an alternator?

-Running only about 800 watts, you don't really need a high output alternator. If you still want one though, look into Mechman and Mike Singer.

What about supply wire?

-I assume you mean power wire?

Size from battery to dist. block?

-At least 4 guage OFC.

Wire size from dist. block to each amp?

-At least 8 guage OFC to each amp. (I would probably just do 4 guage)

How about main fuse from batt. considering my load?

-You always fuse according to the amperage rating of the wire.

Also, do you see a need for another battery, and if so, how big and how would I go about wiring it in to the system?

-I would at least upgrade the battery under your hood. Get the biggest you can fit.

Parr. or series?

-If you want to add another, parallel. Always parallel.

Is a battery isolator needed?

-NO.

Also, hardly anyone around here runs sealed boxes. Once you go ported, you never go back.
