bobonit Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I'm in the process of installing my system into my 97 Maxima SE. I have 3 Sundown SAX-100.4D amps for the Highs, Mids and Midbass and a Sundown SAX-3000D for the Subs. SAX amps will be run at 4ohm / 4 channel and the SAX at 1ohm. I currently have a DC Power 250amp alternator and a Kinetik HC1800 up front. I have big 3 done in 1/0 and 2 runs of 1/0 run to the trunk for positive. I can fit 4 Powermaster D925's in the spare tire well easily. I want to replace the Kinetik with a Powermaster D2400 as well. Would this be enough to support my electrical needs? I'm not going to compete, just a daily driver. Thanks. Quote 97 Maxima SE Bunch of shit going in, check out the build Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Johnson Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 I think that would be sufficient depending on how often you crank it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobonit Posted May 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Cool, I don't see myself driving around full tilt all day long, so I think I'll go with that. Thanks.

bobonit Posted May 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 hopefully it doesn't go thermal like mine is I'm going to keep a close eye on the voltage, I'm not going to let it go below 12.

Dr. Johnson Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) # Great burst output! # Perfect supplement for amplifiers up to 2500 watts! # Tightly packed design makes it a perfect fit in tight trunk spaces or under seats # Can be used as the main battery and still provide power for amplifiers up to 1000 watts! This is from Mechmans Website. With 2500 watts supplemented per battery looks like 10,000 watts should be acceptable. You will not have that much and you have a upgraded alternator too. I would feel safe running it. Edited May 13, 2009 by Dr. Johnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would feel safe running it. Yea, I'm not worried. I spoke with Mathew from Mechman today, went over what I was going to run on them and he said I'd be fine. So I got 4 d925's on the way with free shipping, gotta love Mechman !!! Now I gotta get some more Knu to wire them together.

raytard Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 that mechman "2500" watt thing is a bit of an overstatement...I'ive kinda been told that you should have about 10 times the CCA as your amp(s) draw so a 2000 watt amp with 220 amps of fusing should have a battery(s) rated at 2200cca, so as not to tax them too heavily in operation basically you should be fine, especially with the alt and dual runs (super especially if you busbar those rear batts), just butting in on that d925 being cool for 2500 watts Quote Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hl=avalon+build monster/rockford/kicker/stinger cables, pioneer source, jbl highs/amps, kinetik/shuriken batts, iraggi alt, dei security, dc subs(atleast for now) Team DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
