Applejack Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Okay guys, so anyone who has been reading any of my posts know i cant make a decision for crap, but im here to say...Ive definately decided to go with the FI BL15 and Kicker 1500.1. now, will i need a HO alt? i was told to try a power cap first before buying a extra battery (im thinkin about a kinetik 800 if i have to) but that would entail having to buy an HO alt as well wouldnt it? running stock on my blazer, not sure what its rated. or should i just buy a deep cycle battery and an alt instead of the kinetic, arent those mainly for parking and shows?

VtecDomani Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 You could do without the ho alt but would be better with one, You wouldn't necessarily need a ho alt with a second battery but would be extra strain on your stock alternator charging two battery's. I would get the Kinetic with the ho alt if moneys not a problem. You cant over do your electrical.

I would get the Kinetic with the ho alt if moneys not a problem. You cant over do your electrical. I run one Zx1500.1 and two Zx200.2 its runs fine with just off the stock battery up front and a kinetik 800 in the rear and a stock alt. My voltage is 13.8 at the front battery and 13.6 at the rear(thats at idle). It will drop down to 12.3 went I have it wide open but I have never seen it drop below that. Get your self some voltage meter. I have 2 one on the front battery and one on the rear. That way you can keep a eye on the it from the drivers seat.

Applejack Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 cool thanks! ive noticed when i stop at a light my lights dim slightly but not when i drive, so i may get a power cap and try that, i think my boy has one he'll let me borrow for a little while. but is it necessary to match the cap to the amplifier, ex. 1500w=1.5-2 farad cap? .

n31l Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I asked someone the other day if i should run 2 marine batterys and he tried telling me that would fuck my whole car up. somthing about it would fry my starter and eventuly my stock alternator. then eventuly my computer. he tried telling me there was a voltage regulator in my ecu?. i told him he was full of shit. is there anything different from a deep cyl marine. from a regular car battery?
