ImaNoob Posted February 11, 2013 Report Posted February 11, 2013 Whats up everyone, Im looking to upgrade my electrical in my truck(98 chevy 1500) 5.0 liter. Well really starting from scratch. I have a rockford 1500bdcp 1894 watts@ 1ohm and i am adding another one and i have a (US AMPS)4 channel 800rms amp. I currently have 2 batterys under the hood that need replaced. I would like to give my amps a constant 14 volts. ...What size alternator ? Is there someone i can ship mine to, to rebuild ? I have a brand new stock alt in my garage(Not sure on specs). ... Can I get away with 1 battery at the amps and 2 under the hood ? What kind and how many volts ? Do i need a regulator /Isolator ? ..Im confused on how to do the big3 with both batterys under the hood ? Depending on the cost , i might have to wait for some of this stuff. So where do i start ? Sorry for the whole mess of questions ... 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 Xs3400 1500BDCP FI BL 12 3sq @ 32hz Rockford t675 T400.2 Stinger Deadner Build Log Here
Watch the bass Posted February 11, 2013 Report Posted February 11, 2013 Get the biggest baddest alt you can get, from Mechman, Singer or DC Power If you buy the right batt´s you can be fine with one under the hood and one in the trunk, have a look @ XS-Power batt´s site (XS-Poweer is "the" top notch caraudio batt brand), or here http://www.remybattery.com/Default.aspx for big boy´z AGM batt´s. You don´t need a isolator. And here the tutorial to do the Big 3 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/13280-how-to-do-the-big-3-tutorial/ "in the abundance of water, the fool is thirsty" Bob Marley
bassfreake Posted February 11, 2013 Report Posted February 11, 2013 I've been talking with Mechman and they hooked me up with some pretty good service now I'm just waiting to actually have the money to buy one Thanks I was pretty excited about the alt myself. kind of like a school girl, in a dress, on a swing. lol It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out.
