usmc7980 Posted September 19, 2008 Report Posted September 19, 2008 I ordered a AQ2200d and Sundown 100.4 to replace my old amps. I also ordered a MLA module the other day and right now I have a 220 amp alternator and a Yellowtop. The big 3 is done in all 0 gauge and my power runs to the amps are 0 gauge for the AQ amp and 4 gauge for the Sundown. Do you think I'll need more battery for this setup? Quote

pstone11 Posted September 20, 2008 Report Posted September 20, 2008 With that setup, the one optima will be ok, but I'd still go with a second just for those extended bumping sessions. You have the alt to keep a couple batteries charged, so why not addon? Quote Check out StoneSounds to see my recent builds.Or look at the Flying White Facebook Page!
usmc7980 Posted September 20, 2008 Author Report Posted September 20, 2008 Money is the only obstacle right now. I just wanted to make sure I could run everything on the 1 battery and alt for now without frying it until I can get some more batteries next month. Quote

MECHMAN Posted September 23, 2008 Report Posted September 23, 2008 in that case then you should be okay until you add another battery or two in the back Just monitor the voltage when you are playing the system, don't run it below 12.8 for extended periods.

usmc7980 Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Posted September 23, 2008 so with a combined fuse rating of 290 Amps for both amps what capacity batts should I be looking at? I have the 220 amp alt and MLA module but I would like to change the main battery and have whatever I need in the back also. I'm thinking a Kinetik HC1400 up front and HC1800 in the back? Quote
David Posted September 23, 2008 Report Posted September 23, 2008 get the powermasters bro, much better batteries IMO, and mechman has some for real cheap Quote
usmc7980 Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Posted September 23, 2008 Ok, but I won't be buying until around Christmas so what sizes should I get? Quote
Dr. Johnson Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 Get the biggest you can fit and afford. Quote
