Smoove Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I'm still learning here but imo 6 g31's and a dual 350amp alt setup with 4 runs pos and neg of 2/0guage wire should keep you close. 3-4 group 31's plus stock, and a 250+a alt, 3-4 runs of 1/0. x2 I would change the 3-4 runs to 2 front to back. too many runs can cause your alt to work harder. and add a good battey charger at least twice a week 2 Team Fi 15's v1 2 DD M5's 970amps of Alt 6th order blowthroughThe truck Blowthrough build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155555-smooves-1996-chevy-ext-cab-c1500-slow-build/The 350z build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/170694-smooves-2003-nissan-350z/ My FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Smooves-Car-Audio-and-performance/719746144805343 Team Fi Audio http://www.ficaraudio.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Where did you hear that too many runs makes your alt work harder? EDIT: The alt will only provide whats demanded by the amplifiers, regardless of how many runs. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoove Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 And what is the benefit of 3-4 1/0 runs thats 250-325amps per run depening on length on a 250a alt. I see no gain 2 Team Fi 15's v1 2 DD M5's 970amps of Alt 6th order blowthroughThe truck Blowthrough build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155555-smooves-1996-chevy-ext-cab-c1500-slow-build/The 350z build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/170694-smooves-2003-nissan-350z/ My FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Smooves-Car-Audio-and-performance/719746144805343 Team Fi Audio http://www.ficaraudio.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alaskanzx5 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 This thread is getting ridiculous.. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

Smoove Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Op, Run as many betteries as you can afford and fit (3-4 minimum). And get biggest alt you can get. If these are not something you can attain. Stare at your voltage at all times or you car will implode and turn to dust like a vampire in the sun 2 Team Fi 15's v1 2 DD M5's 970amps of Alt 6th order blowthroughThe truck Blowthrough build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155555-smooves-1996-chevy-ext-cab-c1500-slow-build/The 350z build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/170694-smooves-2003-nissan-350z/ My FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Smooves-Car-Audio-and-performance/719746144805343 Team Fi Audio http://www.ficaraudio.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
