brsteinbach Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I don't have a lot of cash but im dimming pretty badly. I don't have enough to get a second battery also so I just want to get a better battery upfront instead of a crappy wet cell. Like I said I don't have a lot of money so the cheaper the better. Thanks guy's Oh and sorry for the tiny, noobish thread.

EricR Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 do you have the big 3 in 1/0? i would also replace the 4 gauge with 1/0, that might help more than you think Quote i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?

I have 2 gauge power form alt to batt, and 4 gauge for my grounds. I know not a lot of help but it did raise my voltage at an idle from 14.23 to 14.40. In about 2 weeks i'm getting some 0/1. I may upgrade my amp wire now since you said it may help out.

If you're current battery under the hood is healthy and budget it tight .. I would add a XS Power D680 or 925 if your budget allows . . The 925 is capable of something like 2400amps. . put that close to most daily amps and you will be fine given you have SOLID connections / wiring. Even the D680 will support the amp you have in your sig Edited September 23, 2009 by automediapro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I get a second batt, should I get a run of power and a run of ground or is it cool to ground my back batt in the trunk? (0/1 of course).

AI James Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 id make all your grounds and powers 1/0 honestly, why have a 4guage ground and 2gauge power both are equally important so make them the same size. as far as batteries are conserned you need better wiring no matter what battery you get, throwing more batteries at the issues arent going to solve the problem your having. as far as cheap batteries look at a small kinetik off ebay or a small power master off mechman or if your front battery sucks get a werker or everstart maxx to replace it...after you fix wiring.

I know all I had was 4' of 2 gauge and a bunch of extra 4 gauge so I just used that for my grounds. But like I said I'm gonna upgrade my Big 3 to 0/1. One more question. Since I don't have shit for money and need to redo my big 3 ASAP, Is it ok to use Knu KLMX? The CCA stuff wire. Just for my Big 3 and then I'll use better stuff for my run's of 0/1 if I get a second batt.

You think the run of power to a back batt would be ok in KLMX?

AI James Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 yup, your not running big power so theres no need to buy crazy expensive wireing just something thats going to work very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
