basshead5280 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 So later on I'm going to upgrade. Im going to need a new battery and alt. my question is what battery do I need for my setup? I'm going to be running 1 hifonics zeus 1500.1 at 1000 watts rms and a hifonics Zeus 600.4 (75 watts rms each) for a total of about 1500 watts rms. with the fans for amp rack and some LEDs. (I know they won't be that much amps but I'm rounding up to make it easy) so I need a battery for that and my car is a 1999 dodge durango 5.9l with a stock 117 amp alternator. What battery will be best and what size alternator(probably mechman) will be best?

Watch the bass Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Biggest baddest you can place under the hood, messure the place. For 1500 watt´s system + the normal carelectric i would guess you a 240 amp alt.

Skullz Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 With those amps your looking at 200a of draw on the system and probably another 60+ for the car for a total of 260a, depending on your alt you will want to make the rest up in batteries and as was said get the biggest under the hood and an extra for the back.
