Bumpindemlowzz Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Im starting my wall build and need to add some batteries to the mix. How do i do so? I also heard you cant mix audio grade batteries with regular batteries so i just plan on adding a marine deep cell and stuff. Do i need a isolator? I want to run power from front and ground it in the back. Also i plan on doing the big 3 in knukonconceptz 1/0 do i need to put a fuse inbetween alt and battery positive? Am i missing anything important just mention it. thanks Quote 2010 Silverado 18" DC XL 18 DC 2k XS Power Batts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crump Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=13280 as for the battery isolater no you dont need it, it charges one battery at a time, i believe so its not a necesity. If you wanna charge your rear batt turn your system off and let your car run for a little bit.

Bumpindemlowzz Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Is the marine deep cell battery a good idea for now until i switch to kenetic? and isolator good or bad idea. Is it true you cant mix batteries? Quote 2010 Silverado 18" DC XL 18 DC 2k XS Power Batts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it true you cant mix batteries? I would go kinetik in the back, an isolater isnt needed but i dont think its a bad or a good idea. Its your choice, and i have an optima in front and a kinetik in back. my voltage stays about 14 lowest 13.7-8 full tilt. But you cant go wrong with a kinetik in front and in back Quote Team gg Team doa Installs I have doneMy 2010 Rebuild 144 db so far....2 DC xl 10s Firing into cabin on a RF 25002 12" AQ HD's powered by a Saz 2k + Lots o Mids+Highs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan on getting kinetik's later down the road. I just dont want to dip too low with voltage on my 2000d. Im only going to run it 2 ohm so like 1000 rms. I hope it doesnt pull much current. Anyone on here chime in are sundowns power hungury? And add a fuse to inbetween alt and bat +? is it manditory?

The sundown is only rated at 2000rms but was seen doin 2600 at 1ohm. Quote 2010 Silverado 18" DC XL 18 DC 2k XS Power Batts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sundown is only rated at 2000rms but was seen doin 2600 at 1ohm. no he doesnt have a sundown, my friend is getting a sundown 2000, rated 2000 watts at 12.8 volts i think. So about 14 volts would be 2500 watts? but hes gonna keep his stock alt.

Domo Kai Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I don't think you will need to run a fuse between alt and bat +. Not mandatory at all. But i would definitely wait till your alt comes in before you push it. I was pushin a crunch 3000k on my stock alt, fried that shit in a day =(. Now i have that mechman 250 alt and running 2k (about 2200 actually). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
