kickass audio Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 yeah your batteries will drain quick on the tiny as hell alt you have. I have a 270 amp alt with a s3400 and 4 d3100's and have two 300 amp fuses in line from my rear battery bank to the two positive power wires that go to the 5.0k. Then i have a 80 amp fuse on my 4ga wire that goes to the 175.4. My voltage only get down if i slam full tilt at idle which i never do but did just to see how much of a load that my alt can take and let me tell you, that thing is bomb proof. With all the batteries i have, i only drop to like the mid to low 13's when i go full tilt at idle and id say im probably like 120-150 amps at idle, if that. You really should think about maybe some more d3400's or get some 3100's instead. How long do you drive around for anyways just to get an idea on how much battery power you will be draining? also you really should do the big-3 upgrade when you do the install so you dont draw all the current from that little alt charge wire that comes from the factory Quote 2004 GMC Envoy1 XS power S3400 batt under the hood and 4 XS Power D3100's battery installed in the rear by the amps0 gauge power wire from front to backAlpine iva-w205 touchscreen dvd/cd/mp3/ipod/am/fm/gps headunitSundown Audio SAX-200.4 amp for my mids and highs8 gauge speaker wire from amp to woofer270 amp Mechman AltRockford Fosgate T1652-s component speakersRockford Fosgate 3Sixty.2 sound processorRca's from Rockford Fosgate and Monster Cable14 gauge speaker wire for the mids and highs1 18" Ascendant Audio SMD Dual 1 ohm with custom Black & Blue carbon fiber and hand signed dustcapBox: 5.66 cubic feet net volume box tuned to 30.13Hz with 1.5" wide wooden dowels and 1.5" thick baffle1 DC Audio 5.0k amp wired to .5 ohms nominal with an imp rise of 1.35 ohms for the single AA SMD 18"Future Vision 8000k 50w bi-xenon projector HID's with 4300k 35w fog lightsLink to my build: Buildupdates/progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knockin'hoe97 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 "kickass audio" pretty much nailed it...i run the same set up as your wanting, the dc 5k and dc 175.4 and i have almost identical electrical as kickass...except a little more alt and a little less battery bank. So make sure you stack up on some batteries because a good electrical will make all your other equipment happy . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moh.vze.com Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 I need more batteries for my DC5K then? I'd get more batteries for my car but the trunk is so limited in space and my rear is already sagging Quote DC Audio - Singer Alternators - Knukonceptz - XS Power - Hybrid Audio - Rockford Fosgate - Second Skin Audio - SMD - Sundown Audio - Elemental Designs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
