Rmichael91 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 So I've got an '08 Aveo with a stock alternator putting out 85amps. I got a quote from Tenney Alternators for a drop in unit capable of 120amps at idle, 180amps at 1800rpm. I'm putting an XS D4800 under the hood, closest to my stock size of a group 86 battery, and 2 XS S975s in the trunk. Powering a Skar sk2500 and sk85.4 with the possibility of another 85.4 and a 3sixty3 down the road. Doing the big3 in 1/0, and doing a run of both positive and negative to the rear, wiring the S975s in paralell. Would the electrical after the fact hold up pretty well? S975 Max Amps 2100 Cranking Amps 525 RC 50 Brand xs power MAX Amps – 2100 CA – 525A RC – 50min. D4800 Max Amps 3000 Cranking Amps 685 Ah 60 RC 120 Voltage 12 Brand xs power MAX Amps – 3000 CA - 815A RC – 120 Ah – 60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reelfish92 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Sounds like a pretty solid electrical to me. There's people running larger amps on stock alts. Looks like you're ahead on the electrical with the XS batts too. How many runs of the 1/0 are you using?

Rmichael91 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Was gonna do a single run of positive and single negative to the back, for a complete circuit. But ground the batteries in the rear as well. Currently waiting on wire, buying everything at different times. If I can squeeze in another run of both then I may just do so. Snag some battery terminals from Toolmaker with a pair of dual 1/0awg inputs and another goody. Not sure on busbars though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real96SS Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 If your only getting a 180 amps max out of your alt then one run of 1/0 either ofc or cca will be fine. As stated your electrical will be good with what you have.

Rmichael91 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 There's not much we can do with the Aveo alternators without a bunch of custom fabricating. I just wanted to doublecheck and catch any advice on the matter before I go through with orders. And I know Tenneys reputable with a lifetime warranty. Just a basic trunk car afterall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reelfish92 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 The Audio Technix 1/0 ofc is good stuff, like you said a run of + and -, grounding the rear batts, and big 3 should be fine.
