Looking for advise and expertise for alt/battery upgrade


Recommended Posts

I am running a fi bl 12 with all the options, dual 2. I will be adding a aq2200 to go with an orion ea3422 for my mids and highs. I currently have stock alt (90 amp), stock wires, stock battery with an 800 watt batcap in the back.

I've done a billion calculations and done a ton of research and my head is spinning.

I am looking for some advise or at least to be pointed in the right direction on the most efficient combo for upgrade.

I am doing the big 3 upgrade for sure.

What combo of battery and alt do I go with?

I need 242 amps total (from my calculations).

No one has my car listed (2012 Veloster) for alternators but I have a few quotes out and I am going to talk to local guy who may be able to get me one or upgrade what I have.

Everyone local has very limited knowledge and after being taken a few times, I simply don't trust anyone around here.

I am looking at these two batteries: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_02850034000P?sid=IDx01192011x000001&kispla=02850034000P&srccode=cii_17588969&cpncode=32-225730320-2

From what I am gathering this is a combo between an alternator/battery upgrade and trying to figure it out has my head spinning.

I get that no one likes/wants to tell me 'what' to get but I sure could use some expertise of where to go right now.

I will also be running welding lead (0/1 gauge) for my big 3 upgrade and power/ground runs to the back of the car.

If I've left anything out, please let me know.

Thanks for the info before hand.

Hmmm...

no one has a HO alty for you?

No one? ..

Let me know when your ready for a BIG3 kit, or BAT relocation KIT... I can help there.

I have to think that one of the big alty names can help... keep pushing..

I am ready now for both (i think). There is already a batcap ran in the back, wouldn't it be as easy as simply upgrading that?

I have sent several messages to mech and one also to dc. There is also a local guy that I have a connection with who I will look into, but I am very unsure how that will turn out.

When we say 'battery relocation', what exactly does that mean? Would my batcap in the back not be a simple unplug and replug the upgraded battery?
