creyc Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I will be running my SAZ-3000D in my blazer and am trying to work out the battery situation. I've got an HC1800 in the back, which I tried to move to the front but can't make it fit nicely. So I'm considering putting a yellow top up front ($162) and keeping my HC1800 in the back by the amp. I've also got a MechMan 250A Rhino alt with external voltage regulation at 14.9V and the big-3 in 1/0 Kicker Hyper Flex, as well as 1/0 to the amp. Will this be enough to run one SAZ-3000D? 250A Alt @ 14.9v (1) yellow top (1) Kinetik HC1800 I kind of need to know quick cause I was going to buy the yellow top today if that's a wise move.

Team Sundown's Charles Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I have a sundown 3k my self and I have a kinetik 800 under the hood and a 2400 out back with a factory 90 amp alt and my voltage only drowns to 12.6 so i belive you should be ok. they aren't really power hungry Quote 1993 Mazda Mx-3 Subs: 2 18" DC Audio Lvl 4 D.7 Highs amp: Sundown SAX-100.4 Sub amp: Sundown SAZ-3000D Electrical:Kinetik 1200 under hood, 2-Kinetik 2400 rear All 1/0 KnuKonceptz Wire Power/Ground, Big 3, 8Ga Speaker Wire, KnuKonceptz Karma RCA's Dampening: 120sqft 80Mil Thick Sound Destroyer Mat Goal: 150 DB 149.9 Street Bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creyc Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Got the 'yella top. I'll be adding another "big" battery in the back as funds surface, maybe a D3100, HC2400 or something similar to join the HC 1800.

07sOnAtA sp.ed Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I thought when running two batteries in parallel they have to both be the same or the will fight over power? thats what i thought also. The alt will charge the batt w/ less resistance first i believe it is. then the other batt, so hopefully its the batt upfront then the batt in the rear, b/c you dont want to have a dead started batt. But im not 100% sure, so wait for others to chime in.

solo z Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 i believe the smallest battery drains the bigger battery down to the same voltage when cars i off....doesnt matter if the smaller one is in the front or back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Even 2 identical batteries will fight a little because of tiny differences in manufacturing. If you're driving the car every day it doesn't really matter. Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creyc Posted March 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Yes this is a daily driver, and I don't really feel like putting in an isolator. It's working quite well setup like this, my voltage never dips below 14.2v while driving.
