Mobileaudio25 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I still wouldn't run only 1 battery.... That 125 amp is not what id be worried about, it's the big boy. 2 batts and still at 4 ohm... IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MECHMAN Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Okay so a new plan as emerged, I wont be getting the skar 125.4 until after I move down. But I am getting the Skar 4500.1 and the 2 ZVX 15's and singer alt, could I get away with one battery or should I get 2? The one battery would just be to put the system in and be able to demo it while I'm up here in CT, When I go down to TN I'll get the necessary battery bank. I got to put this new system in before I move down. Up here no one has heard of Skar and they firmly believe that brand name is supreme. And other things that I've been told that make me really want to get this system in and demo up here. (My dreams were basically crushed due to one person) Like i said. if it were me Id run a single 270 amp alternator with 2 XSd3100s which would be plenty power for your vehicle 1-888-MECHMAN www.Mechman.com [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirill007 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I'm running a 180 amp alt with 3 batteries ( 2 dekas and 1 xs1200) and I'm only 2500 rms.... nothing wrong with overkill ..... Unless your running a severely too large alt which can lead to some problems.... Better to spend the extra cash to be safe than risking the life of your equipment which in your case would prolly be the amplifier. What problems would that be? I would like to know. You don't need a ton of batteries if the alternator can keep up and the battery can discharge and charge rapidely. (Which is what XS power batteries are for, Deka batteries aren't made for big long discharges.) Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for.

Mobileaudio25 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Some people that run too large of alternators than recommended can run into idling issues sometimes. Too low amperage at idle... It's happened to a few people on here... Go with what the companies recommend, bigger is not always better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MECHMAN Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Well in that scenario If I had no choice to throttle up to a decent operating range I would use the Mechman ELITE which gives you 200 amps at 500 engine rpm 1-888-MECHMAN www.Mechman.com [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
