How Many Watts Can I Run From My Electrical?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm planning out my new system, and rather than do what most do and build the audio part of the system before the electrical part I want to see what I can run with what I have now. This is the electrical I will have:

1 x 225 Amp Upgraded Alternator ($700+ To Upgrade Any Further)

1 x Optima YellowTop (750CCA, 55Ah)

2 x Delkor 8D-1300 (1300CCA, 200Ah Each)

Total CCA = 3350

Total Ah = 455

Dual 0 Gauge Front to Back

Big 3 Upgrade

I need to be able to run about a 5000w RMS system at least for a pair of Fi SP4's. Being rated 3k RMS each 5000w RMS each would be the minimum.

A Second H/O alt or switching out the old H/O against a stronger 300 and up H/O alt.

A second alt would be expensive incase of the bracket what you need to install him.

Add another battery or two

I've seen and heard people running 5k+ on stock alts with a big battery bank

I assume you know what imp rise is so unless your getting 2 2500bdcp that will put out a constant 5k or a 6k+ you won't see a full 500a draw unless your wired under 1ohm

What amp(s) you gonna run?

down rpping vanderbilt. 30 miles from victoria. i own the 3rd loudest setup here out of 3. but i did put together all 3 setups

Well a bigger alt will help... Its up to you if you already have a newer h/o alt is say just keep adding batteries until your voltage is to your liking..

I plan on running a 3500.1 v2 @ half ohm

With a 240 a alt

3 d975s and a d3400 upfront with a few runs of 1/0

With the aq90x4 and the 3500.1 I'm expecting close to 500a

With 1-2 more of the 210 ah batteries you should be fine while reving. But at idle, I'd say you will run into some problems. Also a ballsy move running lead acid batteries in the back.

Should I be expecting more output from these batteries than 1300 CCA? Each battery weighs 60kg

They are Calcium batteries, they only gas if they are overcharged.
