Need Help calculating power needed!!!

[Fareast1738]

Hey good day to all..New to the forum ..So I'm in the middle of my build for an 06 Pathfinder and need help figuring out how many runs of 0gauge I'll need to run..

So here's what I have on hand so far..

Digital Performance 6.5's (8 )

Digital Performance 8's(2)

Eminence Kappalite 3010mb 10's(2)

RE audio SxxV2 subs(2)considering 2 more

Selenium st450 super tweeters(2)

Beyma Ast05 tweeters(4)

Pioneer AVH X4600bt Headunit

Audison bit 10 processor

OhioGen. HO alt300 amps(1)

XS power d2400(3)

XS power d3400R(1)under the hood

Now for the amps I have...

Hifonics BRX3016.1D(3)

Hifonics Brx1200.4(1)

Hifonics X2600.1D(1)

N.B.Please no bashing of the hifonics amps..I've heard it enough ..I got them on a steam of a deal..and have had good experience with them in the past ...so if you are going to help please help by telling me how much runs I need...I have just 50 feet of knukoncepts kolussus so far..

..Also calculate the power for 2 450 Viair compressors as I bought a set up for Air suspension also..

Since you are running 1 alternator and it does not exceed 375A, just one run of 1/0 gauge will do from the front to the back, the rest of the runs will go to the batteries. Your system can pull just over 1000A of draw, so you could run up to 3 runs of 1/0 gauge if you want to utilize the full potential of the front battery.

All you need to do from there is externally fuse them and hook them up to your battery bank. BRX1200.4 is 120A, BRX 3016.1 is 250A a piece, X2600.1 is approximately 200-220A.

Thanks really appreciate the info..

[MrSkippyJ]

what else are you going to add? You have more speakers than amplifier channels it seems. Are you also planning another alt? your electrical seems really low for the power you are expecting.

[Fareast1738]

so far I have 4 batteries n 1 HO300 amp alternator from Ohio gen...wat else u reccommend?

[Fareast1738]

the speakers are going to be wired up in parallel and grouped up...

Make sure you put fuses at the front as well as the back batteries. In the event of an accident, a pinched cable will need to disconnect.

I'm not great at calculating what electrical you will need. But I'm not even sure how you would wire all this speakers to the amps you say you are using.

I calculate 1 run of 1/0 per 2500 watts. So if you have potentially 10K I would say at least 4 runs and yes you may need another alt.

BTW - I rock Hifonics all day long. No issues with my setup. It's all in the install and properly powering them because they are not efficient amps. Check out my garage

How did you come up with this?
