Eric B Posted March 31, 2007 Report 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 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 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.

Eric B Posted March 31, 2007 Author Report 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 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. Quote
