Wishuponasub Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Good Lord. With all those batteries I'm wondering when the 2 -10 Or 12k amps are showing up?

Running two 5Ks at 0.5 ohm each is equivalent on the electrical system to one 10K at 0.5 ohm. Thats some serious current draw. This single alternator is gonna be putting in werk but the lithium bank will be my trusty cushion.

If you were running a pair of strapped 5.0ks at 0.5ohm then it would be like a 10k at 0.25ohm. Just for the record. Either way, your electrical is on point! Keep up the good work!

WalledSonic Posted October 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Thanks man! I will have (2) parallel 0.5ohm draws from the electrical. The electrical system will dump current into the pair of amps as if I was running a single 10K at 0.25ohm since each 5K is drawing from the main bus at 0.5ohm each... in parallel.

I disagree, it doesn't work like that. For illustration and simplicity's sake, let's pretend your 5ks are seeing 1ohm each. We'll use DC Audio for example. A single 5.0k at 1 ohm can put out 5,000w. Lets assume at 5,000w it will pull a maximum of 500a (at 14.4v) from your electrical as evidenced by the fuse rating: 2 of them would pull 1000 amps. Using that logic, a 10k should pull the same amount of current at 0.5 ohm and therefore be fused lower than 1000a if rated at 1 ohm, but it isn't. It's rated at 1ohm and requires 1000a of fusing. The only time you'd see the situation that you're describing is if you were running 2 5ks strapped at .5ohm. Each would be seeing 0.25 ohm making them pull current comparable to a single 10k at 0.25. The only thing on the electrical (input) side of the amp that is effected by nominal impedance on the output side is efficiency of the amp, which wiring down could potentially make it draw more current if wired lower. Having the power to the amps wired in parallel has nothing to do with the load your amp is seeing. 2 5ks at 1 ohm each will pull the same as a 10k at 1 ohm (I'm generalizing for illustration purposes obviously). Hope this makes sense.

WalledSonic Posted October 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Yeah i drew a poor comparison. In the end, the amplifiers just draw a lot of DC current from the bank based on whatever AC output the amp makes when wired down. If I had a 10K amp, I would only be able to wire down to 0.2 or 0.8. With 2 separate amps, I'm able to wire each at half, which is easier on the amps than running a big board at 0.2. Thanks for the input.

WalledSonic Posted October 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Damplifier Pro finished on the passenger half of the car. Still need to do the driver half, shifter hump, and some other random spots Trying to figure out how I want to lay out the fuse blocks Also have a couple other projects that arent yet ready for prime time Chevy Sonic Wall (4) 15's on 10k Build Log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/209412-2015-chevy-sonicwall4-15s10klithiumlarge-case-hairpin-us-alts/ (4) Fi SP4 15's | (2) Ampere 5Ks | Active! | Arc KS600.2 & KS125.2mini | CDT Silk Domes | Silver Flute 8s | 240Ah JY | US Alts Jeep Wrangler JK (4) 8's in a 4th Order Build Log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/209841-shadow-2016-jeep-wrangler-jk4th-order4-8sdc-35klarge-case-hairpin-us-alts/ IG @walledsonic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalledSonic Posted November 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Decided that the lithium bank may need some cooling The box directs air to the channel behind the lithium bank. Gonna attach some plexi on the outer edges of the bank so that the fan will push air from the back thru the front of the bank Started the fuse block. Decided to keep it light as possible, so I cut some material out Mock up 4/0 copper fuse blocks are so heavy. Ended up adding a mounting flange on the bottom and support the panel as strong as possible Gonna start staining all this stuff tomorrow. Almost painted it white and called it a day, but I cant miss an opportunity to show off all this wood.

ChevyBoy95 Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 looking good, just make sure to put a switch on that fan. Otherwise you will be able to hear it through your box.

WalledSonic Posted November 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Picked up some parts for the amp rack. Got them cut for cheap at a local waterjet cutter. Stainless. Had to touch everything up though, since he uses a draft angle to help release parts from the sheet after cutting. A belt sander and countersink bit took care of bizness Also drilled the feet out for M6 bolts Removed the dash this weekend to dampen everything. 8 months of banging (4) 15s definitely loosened some bolts under the dash. I made sure everything is tight now. Checked the windshield seam while I had the dash out. Glue was laid in heavy when I had my neighbor repair the upper pinch seam! Looks good still. Second Skin gittins. Everywhere I could add it under the dash, I did. Put the whole thing back together, and I missed a connection. Had to take half of it back apart. I had it installed like this: And about 1 beer can later, I had everything back together. Removed the wifi/bluetooth/OnStar module since I already removed the antennae for those devices And then finished the entire floor. Fuck my shoulder is sore haha Chevy Sonic Wall (4) 15's on 10k Build Log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/209412-2015-chevy-sonicwall4-15s10klithiumlarge-case-hairpin-us-alts/ (4) Fi SP4 15's | (2) Ampere 5Ks | Active! | Arc KS600.2 & KS125.2mini | CDT Silk Domes | Silver Flute 8s | 240Ah JY | US Alts Jeep Wrangler JK (4) 8's in a 4th Order Build Log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/209841-shadow-2016-jeep-wrangler-jk4th-order4-8sdc-35klarge-case-hairpin-us-alts/ IG @walledsonic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
