Bacy2k Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 im a fairly new member to this site, but have been reading here for about a year, i just decided to make an account when i was 18 this is my first topic, and any input is appreciated... my amps: alpine mrp-f600 at 2 ohms (600 watts rms) alpine mrp-f600 at 4 ohms (400 watts rms) kole audio kx1 5500d at 1 ohm (3200 watts RMS) the fuse rating on the all the amps is 300, and i have a 300 amp ANL fuse i have a 2000 lincoln LS, and the battery is currently stock and came with the car, so it is 10 years old, and starting to die, thus, my new powermaster... fresh out the box it is sitting at 12.72 volts in my house... im probably gonna charge it up as low as i can and keep a close eye on it, until i can get the powermaster intellicharger. but the LS's battery is in the trunk, so space is no concern. so, when i put the d3100 in, im going to ground it with 1/0 gauge, maybe 2 runs, but it is not very far to the ground... then im looking to get a H/O alternator, and when i do that, im going to do the other 2 wires out of the big 3... my car currently has stock 4 or 6 gauge from the alt to the battery and a 140 amp alt... what should i do when it comes to a H/O alternator? what size should i get? should i get another d3100 in the trunk? how many runs of 1/0 gauge should i run to the trunk from a H/O alt? any feedback, tips, advice is much appreciated thanks Quote Alpine CDA-9886Hertz Mille 3 ways active Hertz SPL Show 8's 2 Audison Voce Quattro's2 DC Audio M2 Level 5 12'sDC Audio 12.0KKnuKonceptz Wiring4 XS Power D3100'sDC Power 390XPSecond Skin Damplifier Pro and Dynamat Xtreme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Johnson Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I would say at least 1 more battery and there are 3 reputable alt companies here check any of them out. Great choice on the battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Brad, If you want added reserve for your amps, adding an additional XS Power D3100 (Powermaster doesnt sale batteries) would certainly benifit you. Regarding the alternator, I would recommend 250A with at least 1 1/0 Power and Ground cable to the rear battery. Running two may reduce voltage drop, and would not be a bad idea. Hope this helps! Thanks! Quote XS POWER Batteries, Chargers & Accessories 888-4XS-POWER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
