ally Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 Pretty soon I plan to run about 5000w rms in my daily driver honda civic. I need to know if my electrical will suport it. I dont want the best electeical I just want to keep a good voltage higher than 11 volts I will have big 3 in 0 gauge dc power 180amp alt 130 amps at idle, charges at 14.9 volts optima red top under hood 2 runs of 0 gauge,1 run pos one run neg 1 run of pos 4 gauge to the trunk other 4 gauge will be grounded from the trunk 2 optima red tops in the rear
ILikeEggs Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 Mehh. You're going to need a bigger alt (250+amp), I would also do more than 2 runs to the back. 2 batteries you could get away with if your alt is really strong, I'd still do 4 in the back though.
JeepAndBassXJ Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 Look into some XS power batteries, you will for sure need them, for backups and for main starting battery. More than one run of 0 gauge to the amp(s) is going to be a must and you will need to go beyond just grounding to the chassis, you should run ground wires from front to rear also. 5K is a lot lol, i have 2K with nearly the same electrical you described and I still have issues with voltage lol.

ChevyBoy95 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 11v is a shitty goal. Like, going to kill that 5k goal. 12.5v is the lowest you should EVER see in a daily. Get a 200a+ Alternator Upgraded stock location battery And 2 Group 31 AGM Batteries for bank This will keep you in the 13s. All in all, will cost you about 1000-1200 bucks.

Cardboardcat15 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 You may want to look into some bigger batts, those red tops are kind of small. I think if you upped your wire to two runs of + and - of some decent 1/0 OFC, with that alt and batt setup you should be o.k. for the time being. Def get more wire though, and look into larger batteries. My Channel on YouTube.
