shepherd92683 Posted August 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I already have over 3k in it which isnt much to some people just looking for at maybe slowly down the line adding on. I think the alt will be first... As it stands now i drop as low as 12 when my alt isnt running but usually no lower than 13.1 Quote 2017 Honda Accord Touring Build coming soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 3k and there are times when you play without your alt running?

MrSkippyJ Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 yup, i see i read that wrong. Still not a great idea to run 2k without your alt running. You will have to be more careful when you start running more power and .5ohm.

shepherd92683 Posted August 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 It sometimes stops running while im driving i think because it will go from the 13's down to low 12's and not back up for several minutes even after turning the system off. Not sure how to diagnose if alt is on the outs... Quote 2017 Honda Accord Touring Build coming soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I only use it as a daily, no comps. My thoughts for upgrading electrical were adding a dc270, and adding another battery. I wanted to swap the 2400 for a d3100 but i think the current draw will be too much for just one 3100. I also really dont want to add another 1/0 run. This is a solid 1000-1500 ill have to shell out just to double power. Dont know if Im willing to sink that much more in it. lol thats what you have to do. once you get passed around the 2000w mark, you have to shell out a shit ton more money so that you can support what the amps are drawing. its like turbocharging a car. you can run like 5 psi or so and be fine with stock internals. but if you want to run 15psi, you have to install bigger injectors, different pistons, crankshaft, fuel pump, exhaust, all that shit. its the same thing.

CleanSierra Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 What vehicle are you running? Singer should have a great price on an alt that would likely come in cheaper than the DC. Seeing as this is a daily vehicle that you've already said will not be doing comps, I personally wouldn't run .5 ohm. I'm not at all saying that it can't orde done, but for the power you're running, it just seems silly. Why create that much heat and strain on your electrical system when running at 1 ohm will give you plenty of power for what you need. Efficiency isn't terribly great on running such a low impedance. I'm definitely on board for you getting more battery reserve and more battery reserve. I really think daily on .5 ohm is unnecessary. Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
