more alternator or more battery? which is better.


Recommended Posts

charging power > reserve power IMO.

^^^THIS ALWAYS

unless you don't have the space for it

that's kinda the answer I was looking for ... so basically its better to keep one batrery charged then have 10 undercharged ones :) awesome. I definitely plan in another AGM in the trunk soon after I get this done... but it was basically in what order... that I was curious about. :D so cool:) thanks y'all. .. was I right about the electrical hook ups? or do you have an article handy I can read on it maybe?

Growing old is necessary... growing up is an option! Have fun or you might as well fall into a 6 foot deep hole. Its much easier to be smart and act stupid then it is to be stupid and act smart!

You lookin for someone to tell you its cool.... i doubt it is gonna happen yo.

I know its a drag, but,.. you have to spend it to get it.......

understandable. I know its the cost to be the boss... I know I'm going to need both sooner of later but its a situation like the chicken and the egg... which one do I do first... and that answer I got :) I'd rather not to have bust my charger out every night if I don't have to :) thanks bro!

Just calculate the current draw and tell me if 200 amps were going to work. If you're going to sell it anyways then just stick with something around 1500-2000 watts.

I'll definitely do that :D for sure :)

charging power > reserve power IMO.

THIS^^. With that being said though, I don't think that single battery with the upgraded charging power will be able to support a true 6k RMS.

IMO I would do the biggest alt u can anyways.

The more solid elec u have the better. And the big 3 is a must.

yup the big three is my next upgrade brfore anything else goes in my car.

the HO. alts aren't cheap. I think the neons come with a 120a alt stock so would the addition of another 120 suffice? I don't plan on ever going to anything bigger in this car... because I'll probably sell it with that system in it... so would that suffice? because I can get stock alts for 100 bucks rebuilt. or would the 400 dollar HO be a must? I'm trying to be fruggle and get what I want at the same time ya dig? lol

I'd rather have the HO alt. That stock alt isn't going to be putting out that 120amps til 2k+ RPMs.

by saving money your really gonna waste money because your gonna have to buy a ho alt in the future anyways....car electrical is not good to waste money on bulllshit, when u shoulda got the right parts the first time...Theres a couple vehicles that have been on here thatve caught on fire.

whats wrong with fat chicks? they are like mopeds, as long as your friends dont see you riding it, they are a blast! hahah

I am dumb as a stump. I live in the south and we are all dumb here.

no doubt. .. I've heard a few of those stories. .. and it sucks.... badly.... don't want that. though at this point I'm aggravated with my car and I kinda wish it would... but that's the fuel systems fault. let me go do my lil bit of math and look what I got to deal with...

the 6000w I was talking was peak output from the amp the fifteens I'm looking at are like 1500w a piece rms. so I figure that should power it right about right... might even have to go a lil bit smaller with it. but I'd much rather be able to have a kick ass charge and electric system than have to shut my equipment off every ten minutes to let it charge. it seems to be a little on the re re side to do that... and it doesn't sound very enjoyable ya dig? so I'll be looking at HO's again. may look for someone who can upgrade this one... but anyway back to math. gotta see what I need out my electric system before I go running away with rediculous ideas and getting too discouraged! lmno

your getting 2 15s that are 150 watts rms and ur putting a 6000 watt amp on them??? that doesn't sound right homie, your best bet would to get a bc3500...Itll do what you want and give your some room to play with...I am going to buy a mechman alt for my Tahoe, and I have heard nothing but good stories about their products. So shop around theres mechman, dc, ohio generators and singer alts that are all bangin ass alts and will put out the charge you are wanting to do. Battery bank is good to have with your alts to keep it going and hangin up in the 12 13 volt range at full tilt, and also your wires are a big role. So don't cheap out on them either...You can do about 2-3 runs of 1/0 from front to back and that should suffice. Also if you wanted to you could leave your stock alt on and get a ho alt to go with it if you really wanted to.....There's so many options so just explore them, its free to get quotes lol do a little window shopping nad see what your best deal is and how many amps your gonna need so you get the right stuff for your amperage draw.

what "6k watt" amp are you talking about? everyone here thinks you were talking about 6krms, now you bring to light that it is 6k peak.
