TheCamBeck Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 ok so I am looking at upgrading the electrical in my 97 Chevy 1500. Under the hood I already have two spots for batteries and I plan on replacing these with SHURiKEN SK-BT60. That makes two on these under the hood. then I plan on placing another right at my amp rack that I will have in my truck. I also plan on getting a 220 amp alt. My questions are will this amp/size alt be enough for this battery set up ? also when wiring the alt to the batteries should I run a length of wire back to the battery next to the amps or should I just wire the alt to the closest battery under the hood? Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95legwagon Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 to start: i would wire your alt to closest battery *fuse this connection*, then run a *fused* wire from a bat up front to the batt by the amp rack. cant tell you about battery bank or alt size being "enough" without knowing what you will be running i think there real i was looking through that guys stuff he sells and it looks like he finds stuff at auctions and just sells it Yea, it looks like someone got the mids about a month ago....shit.

TheCamBeck Posted January 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 ok when it comes to amps this is what I plan on running. For my mids and highs I will have an American Bass SQ 500 and an American Bass VFL Hybrid 150.4. The AB SQ 500 has a 20 amp fuse. The AB VFL Hybrid 150.4 50 amp fuse. The bass amp I will be using is the American Bass PH-4000 MD. This has a 150 amp fuse setup on it. This what your looking for or do you need rms?
