Rich Schenk Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Get the biggest xs power batt that will fit underhood to start off. Then another one for the back. 700 posts yeah!!!

revoracing247 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 The math says that amp will only pull Approx 101 amps at full tilt (using 75% efficiency). You've got 240 amps. There should be NO dimming at all. Either the alt isn't working or the wiring is serioiusly jacked. In your big 3, did you ground the alt case to chassis with 1/0? If not, you should. Then also make sure the amp ground is also 1/0. mind if i ask to see how you did your math for the 101A draw? i only ask cause i tried doing it before for my aq2200 and i remember getting closer to 200A and i wanna make sure im doing stuff rigght. and my 90A alt does alright at charging the batts lol lowest my voltage goes is about 12V I think you have a bit of truck stuck in your mud bro ~Ford Ranger, ext cabKenwood DDX4701/0ga stinger wiring for big 31/0ga ofc flextech wiring 3 kinetik 800's AQ2200 @1ohm Sundown Audio X15 in a 27Hz tuned ported box LE BUILD LOG!!!

bigmizzle99 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Sure, no problem. Your amp advertises to make 1100 watts so I assumed that was your power. I used 75% efficiency (no amps are 100% efficient, class D are more efficient than A/B). So, 1100W/.75 = 1466 Watts consumed by your amp 1466 watts / 14.4 V = 101.85 Amps (I was generous that you would have no voltage drop, but in reality your wiring will add some drop) But there you go. Your big 'ol atlernator should be smashing that load easily without touching your batteries.

revoracing247 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 ohhhh lol i thought we were talking about his bigger amps (about 2K+) so 2200W/0.75 = 2933.33W draw 2933.33w/14.4v = 203.7A draw. and that's where i was getting 200A lol thanks for writing it out for me man.

DireRaptor22 Posted March 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 I just run a cheap $11 belt from O'Reilly Auto Parts. Need to tighten it further I guess... XS Power is outta my budget atm, but I will jump to those down the road after saving up. I can only afford another Duralast Platinum atm “The fascination of flight can't be expressed with words.

hankfan79 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 CCA wire? Why not OFC? Not sure if that is your problem but it might help with current transfer once the CCA heats up. I also still have dimming lights running a Mechman 240A. I am starting to notice little issues like this throughout the threads here with Mechman. Starting to question my purchase.

DireRaptor22 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I have some time tomorrow to tighten up my belt to the max, I'll report back on findings. I just also realized that my amp is getting 1/0 awg power and still running off the old 4 awg ground. I think I need to fix that. The old 4 awg ground is also not done very well, but sufficient enough that the amp won't randomly cut off. You think that may be the issue there as well? New amp is obviously gonna have 1/0 awg power AND ground. Temporary setup till I get my new amp. “The fascination of flight can't be expressed with words.

I also still have dimming lights running a Mechman 240A. I am starting to notice little issues like this throughout the threads here with Mechman. Starting to question my purchase. The CCA I have is rated up to 250A, so it's fine with my 240A alternator. Mechman told me this so I'm pretty sure it's fine... “The fascination of flight can't be expressed with words.
