JesseyMclame Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Okay so right now i've got 1 run of ofc + from front to back, frame ground for rear batts, and big 3 done with mechman 260a. My question is, gonna be running a vfl-400.1 here very soon @1, plannin on runnin 2 hdc4s, and as far as electrical I figured I was gonna add a couple more batts, I've currently got 2 94ah. Should I add a second run of something ? How would I run it ? And as far as hooking up dual inputs, figured hook up one set of inputs on one battery, and second set on another batt? Current setup in my 96 Hoe Hu - Pioneer DEH-80prs. Amps - (4) Crossfire C5 1700D's, MTX Thunder 5604(mids), PPI Art 300.2 (tweets) Batts - 4 91ah rear batts, 50ah batt up front. Subs - 2 Crossfire XSv2 18's Alt - Singer 330A Front stage - Random JL & Eclipse mids, Eclipse tweets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassJunkie Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 You should be fine with one run especially if the majority of the batteries are in the rear. That run from the front to the rear for the most part is going to be used for your alternator to charge the rear batteries, which in the most ideal conditions is only going to produce 260a of current. Most decent ofc cables are rated for atleast 300a. Also I have a vfl 500.1, it draws around 450a of current. One run is all I run since I have a stock alt and under load that one run isn't anywhere near its rated capability. This isn't to say that you couldn't slightly benefit from more wire, but if it were me I would invest the money elsewhere. 1986 C20 Suburban 9 American Bass XFL 15's B2 M1MKII 14v XS Power Batteries Maxwell Caps Acoustical energy is free.

MECHMAN Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 IMO if you wanna spend $ shoot for batteries. How many watts RMS are you going to end up with total? 1-888-MECHMAN www.Mechman.com [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseyMclame Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 IMO if you wanna spend $ shoot for batteries. How many watts RMS are you going to end up with total? I'm gonna end up around 4800wrms - 5200wrms. And I was thinking either some d3100s or some stinger somethin or others. I work at a shop and we deal in stinger so I can get them for a decent deal.

When do you think i'd benefit from another run ? And what would I hook it up to and run it to ? Current setup in my 96 Hoe Hu - Pioneer DEH-80prs.

Rich Schenk Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Less voltage drop. I was running in my tibiron a dc 5k and 300 watt mtx amp. I had a Ohio gen 327 amp alt 200 idle 2 run 1/0 OFC to back. Big 3 1/0 OFC 2 1/0 grounds to shocktower in front. 2 1/0 grounds to rear shock tower.
