bcpballer64 Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Hey Meade. Starting off i am expanding my system slowly...a year ago started off with my two terlves in the trunk which was working good but then i wanted more...i came up with a crazy design for a sub bow that i am currently build and I know that around tax time im going to be getting two shallow twelves for under the back seat. I asked my g-parents to hook me up with another battery that had more power...the problem is the new one doesnt fit under the hood. I am wanting to tiw the battery under the hood to the new one that will be going into the trunk. I have looked and looked for the proper way to set stuff up and am at a loss. I would like to be able to just run my power wires off of the battery in the trunk. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Red-navi-916 Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 sup guys, SkittleZ again...I have a nissan sentra (2006)... got 2x 12inch Kicker L5's being pushed by a 2000watt amp, and an AudioKick cap. The system hits harder then anything around here, but I want to hit hard...so I got a 3300watt Rockford amp, and 760 Pioneer amp. Yet, I'm have some trouble makin room for them, and for the batteries...which brings me to my question how do I hook up the extra batteries so it's pretty safe, and won't cause a short or fire. I'm trying to find bigger alternator for the rig. Havin trouble with that. I want to run the 760 for the mids and highs, but the 3300, and 2000 for the lows. I do plan in the future gettin at least 2 more Kickers. But room is limited like I said, so it'll be awhile for them. batterys in the back just run wire straight to them pos to pos neg to neg should be fine fuse em and as far as the alternator hit up dc power if you look up top there is a advertisement dc power click it and contact Robbie BUILDLOG http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=61862 "98crewcab"Never a POS....just always "a work in progress" lol that's how we roll bitches!!!

I wana know what you think not the ratings. Thanks man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkittleZ Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 batterys in the back just run wire straight to them pos to pos neg to neg should be fine fuse em and as far as the alternator hit up dc power if you look up top there is a advertisement dc power click it and contact Robbie they said they don't have any alts that will fit my car..but they'll make a custom bracket to fit it...and still charge me the same as the 240amp. Will I have to do any re-wiring in the car itself? skittlez- the coolest most awsomeist person everDefination of the name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshemerson Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 If i had 2 15's and i wanted to port the box, Would it be better to have two individual chambers and port each side or have one open chamber? How would I figure the cu feet for the two, just add the two volumes together? Thanks All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
