dayo808 Posted June 16, 2015 Report Posted June 16, 2015 Ok guys sorry if I put this in the wrong place. That being said I have an 09 explorer Eddie 4.0 v6. I am running a r.e.audio dts 1500.1 and matching 500.4 these amps are killing my power and dimming my lights in a most horrible fashion I had 2 r.e.sr-pro 15s (320 rms) ran at 1 ohms (till I killed one hahaha. I have been told that the alternator can not be upgraded but I'd like to go bigger than the 1200 total rated rms but how do I get around my low power situation? Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated thanks in advance. D.
SLYentist Posted June 16, 2015 Report Posted June 16, 2015 light dimming is best fixed by upgrading and additional batteries. Cables and wires almost never fail; the terminations do.
dayo808 Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Posted June 16, 2015 Ok what first then. Secondary in the rear or upgrade starting battery?
SLYentist Posted June 16, 2015 Report Posted June 16, 2015 do the big 3 (if you haven't already) along with upgrading the starting battery first. All the power is traveling through that front battery, it gets used most often, and it gets the hottest, so it's a top priority. Cables and wires almost never fail; the terminations do.
dayo808 Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Posted June 16, 2015 Ok I have been doing some research on batteries and best I can find and afford right now is a Duracell agm which I believe is a rebadged deka intimidator do you know anything about this Duracell branded agm batt?
Ahmed Johnson Posted June 16, 2015 Report Posted June 16, 2015 Do the big 3. Get the best possible ground and an agm in the back. What kind and size wire are you using to power your amps?
MrSkippyJ Posted June 16, 2015 Report Posted June 16, 2015 If your batteries are wired without an isolator then they are acting as one battery. It is best to upgrade both, but I would start with which ever is the weaker battery if you can only do one at a time.

I don't know if it's rebadged anything and really don't care. It did however do justice for me and I liked it. When the o'reilley agm takes a shit I'm going to get one of those under the hood.
sirhutson Posted June 16, 2015 Report Posted June 16, 2015 BIG 3 is a must. boss 1200 and a ipod nano.
dayo808 Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Posted June 16, 2015 Main run is knu 0 ofc to knu off 4 and 8 for the amps. I found a batteries plus and can get the Duracell for about 200 for a group 65 which is a direct replacement for my starting battery
