BassBoy69 Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 so I have 2 viair 450s on my car. and monday i pick my alt up. They draw 38 amps when on, and my new alt is only 83 - So what if I did the big 3 upgrade and swapped my tiny power wire used for the compressors to a nice 4ga ? I cant even turn my pressure switch up to get some high psi to bounce a little cause i eat power up. 144+ DB'S OUT OF A CONVERTIBLE 12" Funky Pup Subwoofer (The worlds most powerful subwoofer) 6" Aero Ported Box Hifonics - Bxi2010-D Pioneer Deck RD Audio - Front Speaker Rockford Fosgate - Rear Speakers KnuKonceptz - 0 Gauge Wire KnuKonceptz SS Karma - 10 Gauge Sub Wire KnuKonceptz - Krystal Kable Rca Big 3 - Upgrade - 0 Gauge Kinetik - Hc1800 Battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sully Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 big 3 will work and you should have an 8 awg wire for each or a 4 awg wire for both anyway if you don't you are asking for problems. 2003 Ford F-150 Reg Cab layin body on 26's 2003 Tahoe 3/5 drop on 26's with a 408cid Supercharged engine. 2011 Camaro 2SS 2005 VW GTI Stage II ECU, CAI, 3" turbo back exhaust, FMIC, lowered 2" on some plastidipped 18's 2003 Hayabusa lowered, stretched, cams, nitrous and custom paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good deal - thanks, Im waiting for napa to open to get a new alt, you know also, I always buy refurbished alt's. based on what I know seems that if one thing goes wrong with the alt, it is then fixed and then re sold, with used parts in it still. So maybe it will help to buy a brand new one. and I will. and ima swap to a bigger battery. 144+ DB'S OUT OF A CONVERTIBLE 12" Funky Pup Subwoofer (The worlds most powerful subwoofer) 6" Aero Ported Box Hifonics - Bxi2010-D Pioneer Deck RD Audio - Front Speaker Rockford Fosgate - Rear Speakers KnuKonceptz - 0 Gauge Wire KnuKonceptz SS Karma - 10 Gauge Sub Wire KnuKonceptz - Krystal Kable Rca Big 3 - Upgrade - 0 Gauge Kinetik - Hc1800 Battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamenNoodles Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 83 amps is nothing with those compressors and a system... You should look into the ball park of at least 180 amp.
