need to upgrade electrical system but??


Recommended Posts

so i am goin to be running roughly 5,000watts

and h.i.d low,high,fog lights which will be on most of the time

whut exactly should i get to upgrade my electrical system

Start with the Big 3. I'm only pushing 600 watts and I'm going to need to do it. Start there.

I guess an alternator too, but I don't really know if you need it or not?

Hifonics bxi610 mono 600 watt amp

Stock HU

with 5000rms ied look at gettin a good ho alt of around 200amps or so n a good starter battery n a good rear battery n 1/0 run

u can run more rear batteries but that should get u threw with true 5000rms, maby 1 good starter battery n 2 good deep cycle batteries in back n u should be good to go

n maby 2 runs of 1/0 to the back couldn't hurt

This is one of the those if you need to ask questions...

But since you did ask, what amp(s) will you be running?? Some amps are more or less efficient than each other and that may play a role in what electrical setup you're gonna need.

1998 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer... New setup, old ride... QX56 is staying stock til I get loud... It's only getting walled off if I don't meet my goal @ SBN.

Pioneer AVIC-N2

(12) 12" RE SXs old model.... (3) AB VFL 500.1 @ 1ohm each

Dual 300amp Ohio Gen alts.... (10) Northstar NSB-125s

26ft3 @ 33hz w/ a ton of port area

156.5 @ 40hz @ dash, Db Drag style / 153.2 Bassrace

For something like that I'd suggest at least this - 300amp HO alt, 4-5 batts(under hood batt - Kinetik 1400/Northstar NSB-70)(3-4 big batts in back - Kinetik 2400 / Northstar NSB-125 / XS 3100 / or similar), Big 3 upgrade in 1/0ga or larger, 1/0 or larger power/ground wires, and a maxxlink to wire all the amps together.

Hopefully that helps.. Btw it's spelled which in the context you used it.

Curious as to why you're choosing to run 4 1kw amps instead of a single 4kw amp... 99.9% of the time the single amp will be cheaper, more efficient, same output, and use less wiring.
