Superman0527 Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Whats up guys, just wanted to see if I got this correct...its an awesome drawing of the top of a car. I want to wire up a second battery in the trunk and also do the "Big 3" upgrade, does this make-shift wiring diagram look correct? If not please correct me on where I'm wrong. Thanks.

F N LO Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 nice thast one high def. pic dude!! lol ... but yea you should have an isolator somewhere between the first batt. and the second bat., and you may want to lookinto a new alt, and different batterys because alot of times isolators take up a volt, whihc means less volts and you working bat..... but its not "nessacary"....you need an isolator because it will keep theacc. batt. charged and no matter how low that battery gets your cars stock system will have sufficient power from the stock bat.... hope this helps, im tired so it might have just confused you a lil more i dunno, butyea, good luck!

lucky Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 sorry dont mean to be a topic pirate where dose said isolater go witch wire and were do i get one Quote i'll bass race you with my tweeters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superman0527 Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Yea I thought an isolator is used if I play my system with my car off. If I don't play my system as long as my car is on, would that make a difference. I don't wanna have to spend more money on an isolator if I don't really need one. Also what would be a good place to buy 0 gauge wire from.

F N LO Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 as for the 1/0 i have no clue where would be the best for yourself... check out local shops, or possibly online?? an isoltor would just be a good idea, if your only going to run 1 i would say dont worry about the voltage drop. they are not costly by anymeans, you can find them at your local rv, dealer probably, thats where i am getting mine... they are a good idea, so that if you do listen when your car is off, or anything else, it wont kill your main supply, and will keep your acc. JUST for the use of your system... i was told, that not having an isolator can put to much stress on the batterys draining and charging in sync...

Superman0527 Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Aight well I'll look into getting one then, I found a Stinger isolator for about $13 on cardomain.com so I'll probably pick up one of those and try to find a deal on some wire. About how much wire should I buy in order to wire up both the "Big 3" and the parallel series batteries. Should I measure the length between all points of the car where the wires are going and add on a foot or so? Sorry for all the questions, I just want it done right the first time.

F N LO Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 i dunno if i were you i would try and buy a "bulk" of like 50ft, its prolly cheaper then trying to figure out all the measurements, then just sell off the rest to your friends or w.e....is it a car or a truck??

Eddy722 Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Why a fuse between battery & alt? Put that fuse between both batterys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superman0527 Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Yea a spool would be the way to go i guess...it's a '95 Honda Accord.

F N LO Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 id get a spool because then you dont have to be overly cautious of what your are cutting, and if you are going to be sucking HUGE power, it wouldnt hurt to run 2 sets of 1/0 gauge everywhere, if you have enough..
