Swordlordboy1234 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 If your not a fan of bogging down engines with alternator power then I don't know if this is the right hobby. There is no magic alternator that produces crazy amps with out a certain amount of drag on the engine. It takes power to create power, <- true in every sense of the phrase.

Jessica Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Forget alt output when running from the front batt to the back. Your battery can provide way more amperage than your alt can in most cases. You need enough wire to cover your total current draw of your amps and accessories that are hooked to your runs to the back. Your wire from alt to batt should be enough to safely carry what your alt can put out (i would go at least 25% over that) And of course fuse for the wires rating on all runs except the runs from the rear batt(s) to amps. They should each be fused for the amp they are hooked to. Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside. My super random youtube channel and terrible camera work.

afro Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 This thread has cleared up a bunch for me. I bought SHCA's CCA to run from my buss bars to amps, but Stinger HPM 1/0 OFC from front to rear. Thought I made a big mistake with CCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
