BassBoy69 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) ok i have a 2001 monte carlo ssstock alt duralast gold under the hood what would happen to my alt if i added an XS power D3400 battery and a 3 farad voodoo capacitor?? what is your audio and video set up? toss the duralast, get a kinetik battyey maybe a hc1800 or anything better whatever your using,.. will suck power from the battery FIRST then the ALT will have to make the power and charge the battery back,.. based on what you have and how you use your system you can drain any battery down fast enough and the STOCK alt can not keep up, and it will always play catch up to keep the battery charged best at some point to get a good alt, and do a big 3 upgrade to help increase the volts id pass on the cap, use that money and save for a alt.. dont take short cuts and do it all in steps or youll pay in the end Edited February 23, 2009 by BassBoy69 Quote 144+ DB'S OUT OF A CONVERTIBLE 12" Funky Pup Subwoofer (The worlds most powerful subwoofer) 6" Aero Ported Box Hifonics - Bxi2010-D Pioneer Deck RD Audio - Front Speaker Rockford Fosgate - Rear Speakers KnuKonceptz - 0 Gauge Wire KnuKonceptz SS Karma - 10 Gauge Sub Wire KnuKonceptz - Krystal Kable Rca Big 3 - Upgrade - 0 Gauge Kinetik - Hc1800 Battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zfrerichs Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 grounding to the frame would work also. i would put the 200 you have now in the back and if it pops just put a 300 in it. Quote Roseville, CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
