Bumpindemlowzz Posted June 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 I had a system in my s10 regular cab and ran a few alpine mrp 1000's and my stock burned up in a matter of hours without dropping voltage like crazy. Does adding a crazy load on a alt provoke it to break even without bad electrical? I never dropped below 13.89. I think this may just happen again. So just wait for the alternator and put a batt in the rear and i SHOULD have no worries?

Either your alt or your amp will go. You can put in the system in and play it without the alt just don't pound on it for long periods of time before getting the electrical up to par.

basshead4life Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 ive got a stock batt up front and a marine in back off a 70 amp alt running a kac x1r at 1 ohm 1000wrms and i bump all day long and it aint crapped out on me yet Quote Team S.M.D. Maritime Car Audio- (2) 18" SSA ZCON D1 - American Bass 500.1 - 60 ft of 3/0 -480 Ah of battery - (2) stock alternators (70 +90) - Kenwood Excelon x-794, 4v preouts car audio is just a LOT more complicated than "this amp does this power" or "this sub will be this loud". its like 2 + 2 = banana. (if that confuses you then you get the point) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumpindemlowzz Posted June 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 (edited) Ok i think im going to wait still even if its till next summer then i can get my entire system going instead of just one level 4 15, Ill plan on getting a 275 amp dc alt, 2 level 4's, a few powermaster batts, and my mids and highs, volt meter, and i may get a mla so i can run a 15.5 volt system so i can get more out of the amp's. I just need around 1200 bucks. I already have the amp coming. EDIT: Dc Power told me that just the stock car without system takes almost all of the power the alt makes. I dont want to fry the amp or subs. Edited June 6, 2009 by fis10 Quote 2010 Silverado 18" DC XL 18 DC 2k XS Power Batts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaughn Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 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). I don't mean to double post, but I just caught the first part of the quote here. It's a bad idea to NOT fuse between alternator and battery. I highly encourage alternator to battery runs be fused, just in case. Quote *your mom* <- your mom is my signature! daaaaaaang!

Also what size for the 105 amp alt incase i actually decide to run it all off stock alt for a little bit.

knowledge Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 (edited) i have about 70a also with big3 and 3 batteries running a bd3000 and a 4 channel amp, no clipping no dimming. it all depends how everything is connected!
