basshead Posted December 13, 2006 Author Report Posted December 13, 2006 any audio equipment + water is bad thats y i freaked out when i saw all that snow and ice on my box
audiofanaticz Posted December 13, 2006 Report Posted December 13, 2006 Just trying to help a bit so dont take it the wrong way. But I totally love the install! trust me its done rite man the prob it not enough amperage check this i have 2 220 amp alts so thats a total of 440 amps well it takes about 10 amps to charge each batt you have and i have 9 so thats -90 now im left with 350 amps take 20-30 to run the truck and the internal comps so i got 320 left now i have 3 1600 watt amps 4 my mids that according to the manual pull about 45 amps max each so lets say i pull half of that since its only running mids thats still 68 amps total so now im left with about 250 amps and my lil 1000 watt for my highs might pull 15 amps so that leaves me with 235 amps for my 6 2000 watt sub amps that according to the manual bridged RMS power consumption will be a 72 amp current draw per amp so thats a 432 amp draw alone and all i have to give em is about 235 :'( so my batts are takein a beatin anyway sorry for the looong drawn out explanation but it might help future readers understand y they have power probs Some place you said you have your one alt just for your truck, hu, audio control etc. Then the second alt is for your amps and batterys alone. Well if you have it set up this way, your math is wrong on how much amprage you are working with, since both alts are not running to the batterys only one, so you have 220 amps for your batterys and amps, then the other 220 is for your truck and its accessories. 10 amps to charger each battery is 90 amps. 3 mid amps is 135 amps, but ill go with your 68 amps that you say. 1 high amp is 15 amps. 6 sub amps is 432. So you are at 605 amps just to charge your batterys and run your amps off of one 220 amp alt. Your truck does not need its own 220 amp alt to itself which I am gathering from how you said you have one for your truck and its accessories, and the other for the batterys and amps. You would probolly drop no where near as bad if you runn the alts together for your system and truck giving you 440 amps. Just connect the alt + wires together from one alt to the other Im pretty sure (never ran a dual alt setup tho). that is a battery box for 4 of my batts i didnt want to see all those damn wires and im almost there i have a voltage prob i drain down to very low 12's while beatin and i dont like that so ima do a lil upgrade to the electrical and run 4 300 amp iraggi's and b done with it Just wondering if you have your 4 batterys grounded at all? I cant tell from the picture, I know you said you have a bus bar, but you did not mention anything about the batterys being connected to the bus bar, this may also help you increase your amprage, otherwise the batterys are being useless for the most part. Again, not trying to trash you, just trying to help.
basshead Posted December 13, 2006 Author Report Posted December 13, 2006 audiofanaticz you got it all wrong man as we speak i have dual 220 amp alts charging 9 1000 cranking amp batts for my whole system truck and all but im gonna use 4 300+ amp alts when i upgrade and then the post you replied to will apply im gonna use 1 300+ amp alt charging 4 1000 cranking amp batts for my truck , headunit , audiocontrol equipment , and my mids/highs amps and the other 3 300+ amp alts will charge 4 2600 amp batts that run nothing but my sub amps i hope this clears it up for ya if not i dunno wut to tell ya LOL
