rockFord_Expedition Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) Ok then as a starter battery, under the hood the D1200 can support a 1200W system. As a reserve battery the D3100 will support a true 5k so with those two batteries you have enough reserve for a 6k daily system. Remember music is dynamic so unless you are burping or playing test tones, you aren't going to be pulling a constant 5 or 6 k anyways. More batteries than that will not hurt at all, but you don't need them. Make sure your terminations are done well, big3 done proper and you will be good to go. Make sure there is a good clean return path to the alternator. If you are going to run a 320A alt I would run all 1/0 or even better, 2/0 (SHCA ofc is what I recommend but there is other good wire out there). Depending on the configuration under the hood, I would do it 1 of the following ways: (in 1/0 I would double everything, in 2/0 single runs are fine except where noted) Alt + to front bat + Alt + to rear bat + Front bat + to rear bat + (Fused near both batteries) Rear bat + to fused distribution block Dist block to amps or Alt + to front bat + (x2) Front bat + to rear bat + (x2, fused near both batteries) Rear bat + to fused distribution block Dist block to amps Edited March 30, 2014 by rockFord_Expedition Quote Old School/New School RF Build March 2015 SOTM Winner How to crimp large wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coh33dkill3r Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 So say my amp needs a 500 amp fuse. If I'm running 2 runs would I use 250 on each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockFord_Expedition Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 250 is ok, just don't go over the amperage rating for the wire. Quote Old School/New School RF Build March 2015 SOTM Winner How to crimp large wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
