missinglink Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) Ok I am getting ready to install the following...2 t20001 2 t4004 2 fi btl's 15 What kind of power (battery, alt, wire, ect...) do I need to power this setup? What is a mla module? Well, I can answer the last one... The MLA Module is manufactured by Missing Link Audio, or MLA for short. Missing Link Audio The module allows stock or aftermarket alternators to charge at higher voltages in computer controlled cars. It reshapes the charging curve to allow for full charge on multiple battery systems. Many posters here are very happy with the results. There is an MLA forum in the manufacturers area here at SMD. As for the rest of your questions - install all of that in what exactly? a 1988 Yugo? a 2005 Astro Van? For what purpose - Daily driver tunes? Competition? Fill us in on your vehicle specs, there are many here that can help you. 'Link Edited October 26, 2008 by missinglink Quote missinglinkaudio The United States Marine Corps.

dmanson Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) i see at least three runs of 1/0 (that's just for positive), the biggest alternator you can fit if not two of them in your vehicle and about 5 good batteries in the whole set up.

Yeah first thing get a mla!these things are the shizzle man.Chris i went to my first carshow yesterday and was showin it off to people and they were all like WOAH WTF lol.i had the volt meter out and everthing so they could see the truth.There was one guy running like 16k wats off one stock alternator and like 4 batteries,i was like mean you need more alts,bats and one of these module and he was like no i dont my voltage never goes below 14.and i said you must have an external voltage regulator huh and he was like no its all factory.I was like bullshit play it and let me put this voltmeter on it and he was like ok but i already tested it a buncha times. ..none the less he started his truck.never went over 14 volts to begin with and he started crankin on it for a few seconds and his voltage was going down to 10volts,sometimes in the 9s.i just started laughin and walked off,he was one of those "know it all people that you cant tell anything"but aloth of the other guys really took intrest in it an will be calling,i was reppin the shirt you send and gave out almost all the buisness cards ,so ill need more of those lol thanks again for the awesome product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missinglink Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 This is going to be in a 1999 2dr blazer. And for the most part going to be for daily driver. Your Stock alternator is a 100 amp rated CS130D. The MLA module for that truck is a plug&play unit. For a daily driver, you will need good output across the range. There are some aftermarket alternator specialists that can build you a higher output unit, just be sure it has more output at idle where you spend plenty of time with a daily driven vehicle. Use as many batteries as you can fit / afford. More capacity means less cycling of the batteries, and more reserve. With a stock alternator it may be necessary to charge from an AC charger overnight if you beat the system a lot. A good voltmeter is a must, you need to keep an eye on things. 98HOE - thanks for the kind words, and all of your support. Some people will never learn, at least you tried.

pstone11 Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) You should be good with 3 total batteries, (1 front, 2 rear) - quality batteries for sure. Big 3 in 0ga, A run of 0 for each t2k Either a pair of 4 ga runs, or single 0 split for the smaller amps. 200+ amp alt A Missing link can only help the situation. I ran about that in the suburban with pretty much the same setup you have.
