Eniyah Muzumala Kumalinga Posted July 11, 2014 Report Posted July 11, 2014 Hey guys. Ok I'll be running 2000 rms off an 80 amp alt and two 65 aH batteries. Big 3 already done and this will be just for a daily system. I don't quite get the battery helping alternator thing lol. thnx
pioneerforlife Posted July 11, 2014 Report Posted July 11, 2014 I would say you should be ok. Its not goanna be a super strong electrical system but you should hold 12 at least. I would say get a bigger alt though. 2007 Ford Focus SES Hatchback Pioneer HU 4 Digital Designs 9515i's in a B pillar. 2 Soundstream XXX 15K's (running at 16 volts) Soundstream Mids/Highs in custom door panels (getting rebuilt soon) Soundstream TA2.160 and TA2.400 Sky High and KNU wiring 3 Banks of Maxwell caps Winston Lithium (not a fan) Bump4Life 250 Amp Alt. aka USAlternators Soundstream Focus and Avenger Build Log Instagram @p4linnovation YouTube: Team Blowin Loud

Youll be into your reserve almost immediatelyI see, so tell me something if my reserve is say 200 amps doesn't this mean I will have enough current for my amp despite the small alt?
n8ball2013 Posted July 11, 2014 Report Posted July 11, 2014 It takes power to make power. You cant supply your batteries enough power to keep them charged. Just because it says ah asin amp hours doesn't mean you can run them for 200 hours. Look up the definition of amp hours and it should shed some light on this THERE IS NO BUILD LOG! 1998 Chevy Silverado ext cab Alpine CDA-9887 4 Team Fi 15s 2 Ampere Audio TFE 8.0 2 Ampere Audio 150.4 3 Digital Designs CS6.5 component sets Dual Mechman 370XP Elite alternators inbound! 8 XS Power d3400 6 XS power d680 Second Skin Stinger Tsunami Wiring Sky High A Real Voltmeter not a piece of shit stinger.
gr8handogoatness Posted July 11, 2014 Report Posted July 11, 2014 You won't be able to run the amp all that long. If you think of your electrical like a tank of water, you alternator is filing the tank, the amp is draining it. If you take out more that you can put back in then you will run out. Lets say it's a 1000 gallon tank.if you take out 100 gallons every minute and then replace 80 gallons every minute you will be basically loosing 20 gallons per minute. So after what like 40 minutes you will be out of water. Same basic concept here. The alt is actually different in the sense that it is actually supplying your current until it can't anymore and then your batteries kick in. The problem is your alt can't keep up ever so it will wear it out even though you will have bass from your battery reserves.
