hzmaster7k Posted May 27, 2014 Report Posted May 27, 2014 Ok first off I have a 97 regular cab 5.9 cummins this means I can only have one alternator, so a mechman 370 is a must. I already have wire for everything 2 runs of + and 2 - of 2/0 for alt. to battery bank and tons of 1/0 from bank to amps. I have a lanzar opti 7k I want to run @ .5 ohm and a opti500x2 along with some light bars on the cab. My question is would two D7500 power all of this? According to XS it will right?
P4killer_ Posted May 27, 2014 Report Posted May 27, 2014 Yea itll power it. For how long, who knows. If you really make 7k+ id prolly want a third battery.

Kyblack76 Posted May 27, 2014 Report Posted May 27, 2014 Id make sure they know its a diesel. Those rev at like 80rpm idle, and 1000 at high (sarcasm) That said, ive read a million people with diesels that struggle with the largest alt a maker makes, due to in fact ZERO output from idle to 90% rev. Just saying. ..... SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold
hzmaster7k Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Posted May 27, 2014 I have contacted DC power the only thing they have said was this... Quote "The 370 is capable of handling that type of power. The only thing that concerns me with the 370 is the PCM in the vehicle, the only way the alternator would be efficient would be to bypass the PCM and let the alternator regulate it's own voltage. That is something we can do and it's $125.00 extra. The PCM issue is the only reason why we don't offer the 370XP online."

gckless Posted May 27, 2014 Report Posted May 27, 2014 370A and those two batteries are a good start. Throw em in, watch your voltage and see what it does. Go from there. "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now. It's like witchcraft... it automatically explains just about everything people don't understand.

hzmaster7k Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Posted May 27, 2014 That's the plan. Trying to keep all my batteries under the bed and out from under the hood thats why I'm not going with 4 d3100 like I originally planned. But ill add more if I need more, can't make power whithout power.
hzmaster7k Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Posted May 27, 2014 Ok that being said what are your all opinions on two runs of negatives from the battery bank straight to the alternator for a ground. Anything wrong with this?
