Cantrell2500HD Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 So I finally saved enough money to get a new over-and-under shotgun woot woot Now I wanna work on my electrical and upgrade my system. So my goal is to run 2 HDC3 10's on a AQ 3500D I've been watchin this vid I found, I'm pretty sure it's been linked on here before: http://www.youtube.com/user/MaxxsonicsUSAI...s/1/H5MP5F-uJAw Anyway, following what Mike is saying my 3500D needs 330A to produce the 3000W I'm shooting for. My stock alt. is 105A which will put out 63A to my 3500D, leaving me with 267A lacking. Well seeing as how there is no where I can keep 3 batteries I decided to upgrade the alt. So a DC 230A alt. would put out 188A to my 3500D, leaving me with 142A lacking. Thats assuming my stock electrical needs didn't increase with the bigger alt. I can produce that with 2 D3400 power cells from XSPower that produce 75Ah each. Does this look right or am I calculating something wrong here. My number one question is, can I replace my stock battery with a D3400, or do I still need it to start the truck? Oh and another question is, am I leaving myself enough room to play with, meaning, I'm not cutting it so close that my system is on the brink of failure. And numer three is, does anyone know of a way to figure out how much A/W I'm losing per ft. of wire I run? Or is that just getting into the usless information catagory. 03' Reg Cab 2500HD Alpine 9807 H/U Infinity Ref 6.5" Front Speakers Pioneer 4"x6" Rear Speakers Quantum Audio 1100.1 Amp PPI 5 Channel Amp Kicker 05' S12L5's <~ thats plural baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cantrell2500HD Posted September 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 I'll just use the Wire/Fuse Guide pinned to this forum for the wire size and not worrie about the Amps/Watts lost in the wire since none of my runs are longer than 20'. 03' Reg Cab 2500HD Alpine 9807 H/U Infinity Ref 6.5" Front Speakers Pioneer 4"x6" Rear Speakers Quantum Audio 1100.1 Amp PPI 5 Channel Amp Kicker 05' S12L5's <~ thats plural baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantrell2500HD Posted October 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Alright I'm bringing this thing back, see if I can get anyone to answer this next question. SOOO from re-reading what I said before about how many amps my 3500D needs to produce 3000W, which is 330A, I got to thinkin about fuse sizes. Knukonceptz says it's wire will take loads over 300A BUT fuses only go up to 300A. So what do I do about the extra 30A I need to make the 3000W I'm lookin for? Help would be appriciated. 03' Reg Cab 2500HD Alpine 9807 H/U Infinity Ref 6.5" Front Speakers Pioneer 4"x6" Rear Speakers Quantum Audio 1100.1 Amp PPI 5 Channel Amp Kicker 05' S12L5's <~ thats plural baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
