Zak Massey Posted October 12, 2013 Report Posted October 12, 2013 I have a 2003 cavalier and I put in a 270 amp alternator, but will that be enough to run my car and a roughly 5800 watt system? If you need any more info on it please do ask!

mrd6 Posted October 12, 2013 Report Posted October 12, 2013 With a good battery bank that should do fine. My Build Log: http://www.stevemead...-sundown-power/ Team NorthWestSPL
purplesyrup Posted October 12, 2013 Report Posted October 12, 2013 Its enough with extra batts, but we are in a hobby where enough is never enough.
Zak Massey Posted October 12, 2013 Author Report Posted October 12, 2013 What would you recommend? I currently have a kinetic Hc 1200 under the hood and 2 Kinetic hc 2400's in the back. Is that enough or should I get more?

wccfan12 Posted October 12, 2013 Report Posted October 12, 2013 If that were my setup I would get maybe 1-2 more kinetic 2400's but if you feel it might be enough you could always run it with the electrical you currently have and see how much your voltage drops. If it drops below say 13.0 then you might wanna add 1-2 more batts until it doesn't drop as much anymore.

Sergeant_Skyrim Posted October 12, 2013 Report Posted October 12, 2013 What kind of alt did you get? Build in progress
Tecomah Posted October 12, 2013 Report Posted October 12, 2013 What kind of alt did you get? this. There is a big difference between an eBay or power bastards alt and dc,singer, or a mechman alt 750??! Yeah, fuck that.

tacomaguy1 Posted October 12, 2013 Report Posted October 12, 2013 I'm running 11k on a single 270a, with a good batt bank of course Should be fine for you with a couple nice batts Team Flex Issues

How would adding batteries help keep voltage above 13. I assume we are talking 12V bats that usually rest around 12.4 - 12.7 right?
