Tub Asko Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 So I'm getting my funding together and making a big ass price list of all the shit I will be ordering in the next few months. I had a few questions about electrical. I got my prices from Irragi on the alternators and I'm going with kinetik batteries. Which combos of alts/batteries would I need for a daily/spl/bassrace vehicle with 2 zx2500.1s and a zx850.4 so roughly 5850 watts rms. I was thinking 2 300 amp alts with a kinetik 1400 under hood and 3 kinetik 2400s for amp backup. What say you guys? I really need to get my plan wrapped up so I can start making orders. Also about how much 1/0 wire should I be getting my hands on. 100 ft 200ft? Estimate plz. THX! (and as always the faster I get my shit together the faster pics/vids come!)

slim8605 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 (edited) I honestly don't think you need that much but the more the better. I would say just one alt and 2 2400s would be good enough. But if you have the money, go for it.

slim8605 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I ran KX2500.1 with a 200a alt and 1 2400 and I the lowest I dropped to was high 12s and my car Idles at 13.4 when its warm.

I've actually had the amp start cutting out recently while "idle bumping" so I think I need to get em checked. My whole thing is I'd rather go overboard than under with it. Not have to worry about electrical. Get it all taken care of you know. Quote Facebook Youtube Murdered '07 Silverado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slim8605 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I say go for it then. I'm sure you'll want to upgrade amps again later on. If you go overboard on it now, you won't have to worry about it later.

dmanson Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 two 300s ain't bad but then again you won't have much idle power either. i'd go for something more like a 220 and a 300 and call it quits.
