Eric B Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Alright after I sell my quad I plan to update my system with running a 15" BTL powered by a RF T20001Bd amp. I would run 1/0 gauge power wire to the trunk where I would have a Stinger Power2 SP1000, I would jus run one wire from the front battery + to the back +, and just ground each. Woulld also use 1/0 gauge for the battery grounds, and most likely the "Big 3" in all 1/0 gauge. My alternator is 102A. Would this be enought to run a BTL for a daily driver and a comp every once in a while?

Chris Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Yes it would, but I wouldn't use stinger wire if I were you. You can get better stuff for a lower price.

Slinky Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 you will be fine with that electrical, but you will not have awesome voltage. your headlights will dim a lot, and id charge your batteries often.

I would eventually update the alternator to a Irragi "Dominator" Series which is 200A/ 75A idle, would that hold up better? What recommendations would yall have to make it a little stronger but not zap a hole in my wallet?

Low n Loud Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 no ive never had to charge mine except when i first got them. i charged my optima yellowtop and my kinetik as soon as they came out of the box, and never had to do it again.
