Getting Electrical Up To Par


Recommended Posts

Posted

well im about to start my new build some time next week hopefully and im trying to get my electrical squarred away this weekend so here it goes.

i recently recieved my new amp (cactus 5kw), and i know it is going to need alot of juice so my plan is to 1.) upgrade my starting battery to a decent car audio battery (everstart maxx, walmart style now) 2.) do my big 3 in 0 ga (haven't done that yet) 3.) run 0 ga to the trunk 4.) one battery in the trunk for sure (d3100) and possibly another if i need it.

ive already got a 200amp alt and so far my knu koncepts cart looks like this: 2, 0ga amp kits(for the extra wire, 250amp fuses), 4, battery terminals, 2, 200 amp fuses(for front and rear batt.), 10 foot of 10ga speaker wire. let me know if i need or dont need anything else please add.

also this is the first amp ive owned with two power/ground leads. do i just run a distro-block off my rear battery two 0ga into the amp?thanks

Don't forget the AGM battery charger to keep those batteries full charged . Supposed to charge them real good before you put them in .

i think you would be better off with 2 batts in the back, but thats just my opinion

depending which battery you put up front you might be able to get away with a single D3100 but more is always better those amps are fine with low voltage and they get even better the more you can give them

well the reason i say 2 batts in the back or more is because why spend the money on the amp then skim on the power to power it? i wouldnt risk the chance to blow that kinda amp but thats just me
