ADGomez Posted July 13, 2014 Report Posted July 13, 2014 In the very near future I plan on installing two Fi Bl 15's fully loaded, with two crescendo bc2000d's also a crescendo s550/2 for mids...My question is, what kind of power do I need? I have a 250 amp alternator and a XS 3400 that will go under the hood when everything is hooked up ready to go, How many extra batteries do I need and which ones, since XS has quite a few to choose from , money is an issue... And I am getting all sky high wire, but I don't know if I should get 1/0 or 2/0 and how many runs?
Noel989 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Posted July 13, 2014 What brand is your 250 amp alt? You should' be fine with what you have unless you have a cheap alt And 1/0 is enough Build Log - http://www.stevemead...-cruiser-el-pt/
ADGomez Posted July 13, 2014 Author Report Posted July 13, 2014 Its from Js Ultimate alts fb: https://www.facebook.com/JsUltimateALTs , one run of 1/0 is enough? its going to be about 4500+ watts , I at least one or two extra batteries in the back
Noel989 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Posted July 13, 2014 Didn't see you were going to run 2 2000's Build Log - http://www.stevemead...-cruiser-el-pt/
islandpride684 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Posted July 13, 2014 You can two runs of 1/0 or 1 run of 2/0... Build Log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186921-blk9te-07-yukon-slo-mo-build/page-3?hl=%2Bblk9te#entry2881410
TDZ13 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Posted July 13, 2014 What are the ratings on that alt? I'd run at least 1 extra batt in back, preferably 2 (dependent on the $$ ur working with). And a single run of high count 1/0 per amp should suffice with no issues. 2006 Hyundai Sonata Lx - Alpine CDA-9885 - Rainbow CSX Comps - (2) 12" Sundown Zv4 - Sundown 5K - 4.6ft3 @ 33hz w/ 6" aeros sealed off in trunk - 250a Singer alt, Kinetik 1400, (2) 2400s - 150.4 @ Dash as of now
ADGomez Posted July 13, 2014 Author Report Posted July 13, 2014 TDZ13 - what do you mean ratings? alright ONE run of 2/0 ofc , and I will try to get two XS D925's for extras in the back, If I do get two batteries I want to have mini buss bars for them, anyone know where I can get the aluminum or copper at?
Robert8252 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Posted July 13, 2014 If your alternator is not putting out more than 300 amps I've never seen any reason to run any more than one run of OFC 1/0 front to back. 2 runs won't make a difference unless you have more than a battery up front. Are you running the amps bridged at 2ohm or running them lower? I'd start with a D3100 in the back and see what happens. Unless you're wiring über low that should suffice. 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff
