Austin Holtzapple Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I am running a 120a alternator. Going to be putting in the D3400. The total wattage to start I'll have is 2500rms. I will be upgrading to about a 5000w rms(if I'm spending this much on batteries want to do it right the first time) Is this an ok battery for the alternator?(i can't get a new alternator because they don't make them... Dc power and singer can't make me an alt) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zayres29 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 i ran 3500w on a stock 91 chevy alt and 2 batteries for a while and i was fine... i really needed an alt at the time but i couldnt afford it if there isnt an alt available for your car you dont have any choice ... you just wont be able to play long without draining your batteries (when i say play long i mean as long as someone else who has an upgraded alternator) in short you should be ok just as long as you dont push limits and try to fuck something up know your system and what it can handle when voltage gets low and things start getting how shut her down Quote Btw that was the first person.

Austin Holtzapple Posted May 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Ok where would be other people to see if they have an alternator for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranny Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Ok where would be other people to see if they have an alternator for it? nobody. buy a lot of batts and trickle charge them every night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Holtzapple Posted May 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Would I be able to hook it up for just one of the D3400 batteries and trickle them or does it need to be hooked to alternator? (starting battery and rear battery separate so won't kill starting battery) Also how would I know if it's getting to the point where it won't start ny car if I have it as a starting battery and one for amps. Install a multimeeter Imto the circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
