jbeez Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 +1 to ground suggestions. I like putting ground from alt casing to rear battery bank, but I wouldn't personally directly connect that to an amp. My understanding is that is the absolute noisiest ground in the system(alt case). This may be nitpicking, IDK I haven't tested it. Also make sure the grounds you do have already are clean and done properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhunt94 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 i would try to ground your alternators properly, even though they are bolted down to the engine block which is technically a ground, id still do a run of negative at least to your front battery, or to the frame if every other part is also properly grounded to the frame. Right now it looks like you worried mainly about power runs, ground your front battery, alt, and rear bank to the frame Where would the ground wire go on the alts? you can run a wire from one of the bolts that mounts the alt to the engine 2007 Ford F-150 Reg.

rmireles1 Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Would u guys recommend I eliminate the front optima batt and only run the rear batts? If so id, run 2 runs of positive and negative to the alts. Would only need to see how to wire the things connected to the front batt like electric fans, fuse box.....etc. What do u think?

Tribe Called Bass Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 You had your DC alt rebuilt by Dom ? Yes, by Dom at Iraggi. Is that bad? You had a high quality alt rebuilt by a low quality con artist. HAHA. Yes this! I wish that damn place would just run out of business. Everything about them is absolute bs. I dealt with them once, won't even dare say the brand name anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
