building an electrical for half ohm


Recommended Posts

Posted

Alright lady and gents. I got a mechman 320 on the way and hopefully afterwards some new sundown x 15s looking to run this ct 1400.1 At half ohm. Big three check upgraded stock batt check 800 cold cranking amps To be exact 1/0 going to amp check. Fans on the way. Any thing I should put in mind considering this?

Here is my experience with running a ct 1400@ .5 ohm. I have a hdc 3 12 dual 1ohm sub. My electrical is a duralast platinum gel battery, big 4 ( added ground) with 1/0 . 1/0 fro. Battery to amp 1/0 ground all with copper ring lugs. 180 amp dc alt. The amp never ever gets hot. Sub never ever gets hot. Voltage drop (toyota has a low charging voltage) at full tilt is from 13.7 to 13 .2.

Add a second battery. Other than that, you're good to go.

Something small like an XS925 in the rear should be pretty much it to be perfectly safe.

Well I was considering a d2700 upfront then a 3100 in the tool box or in the cab. I just don't want to dip below 13v. I went overboard with the alt but its there for a future bigger build so.

IMO with you HO alt I think another battery is overkill but if you plan to go bigger in the near future then maybe. I have not seen below 13 with mine. I don't have the knowledge of others but have the exact amp and running the ohm load your talking about. All set with a DD 1
