Flint_810 Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 the only thing i disagree with you on is the alternator. Increasing the alt's capacity will benefit the entire system if its one of the first things done. the batteries need to charge some how. and never forget the fact that when voltage is higher, less amperage is required to create a specific wattage. why wouldnt you want to be in the 14v range full tilt, all day everyday? right i feel you im gone get my damn car fix first, upgrade my wiring, get an alt, then an battery and i should be fine thanks man!

Flint_810 Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 A little background would be good first. He has a Power Acoustik BAMF 5500, and that's gonna power a 15" Fi BTL. He has no electrical upgrades yet, and I will be helping with his system install. I have been telling him that he is gonna need a run of positive and negative from the front to the back, both 1/0g. He will have his Big # upgrade done in 1/0g. I am trying to tell him that he doesn't need a upgraded alt at this point, but he should do the proper wiring, and get a second battery. They have cheap batterys that will be good for his use at the auto part stores. Do you agree??? now when you mean run both pos and neg 1/0awg from front to back is you talking about for my power and ground wire for my bamf amp? or just to hook up a extra battery in the trunk?

onelivinlarge Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 so basically caps are for extra power boost on really long bass notes? 1) lookj to left 2) NOTICE BLKUE 3) ME > Y9OU 4) that is all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheezyMane13 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 now when you mean run both pos and neg 1/0awg from front to back is you talking about for my power and ground wire for my bamf amp? or just to hook up a extra battery in the trunk? just to run the amp. If it were me I'. Run one for each that way when u get a battery it's a 5 minute process to install take baby steps, u cant do it all at once unless u have a roll of 100's big enough to choke a donkey 1998 Chevy Venture "Swagger Wagon" Kenwood Excelon KDC-X994 Headunit 3 15" Alpine Type R's in seperate T-Lines 1 RF T1500-1bd for 2 of the 15s 1 RF P1000-1bd for the single 15 3 sets of Hifonics Zeus ZXi6.5C Components( 1 more set to come for Front stage) 1 Hifonics HFi100.4 4-channel amp Stock alt for now (DC HO SPL 400A when funds come in,currently working on buying this) Stock battery and one Optima Redtop for now (looking at XS batteries) 3 15" Alpine Type R's (aka Swagger Wagon Build 1.0) Swagger Wagon Build 2.0 Youtube Videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in my experience less amperage getting pulled from your system because voltage is high is a benefit. I mean you don't need to be pulling ad many amps from you alt and battery bank. Again all of this is all directly correlated with each other. The main thing here is I'm helping Flint810 with this build and he wanted to make sure I was right about getting runs or both pos and neg to the back and the big three. Then later a battery and alt take baby steps, u cant do it all at once unless u have a roll of 100's big enough to choke a donkey 1998 Chevy Venture "Swagger Wagon" Kenwood Excelon KDC-X994 Headunit 3 15" Alpine Type R's in seperate T-Lines 1 RF T1500-1bd for 2 of the 15s 1 RF P1000-1bd for the single 15 3 sets of Hifonics Zeus ZXi6.5C Components( 1 more set to come for Front stage) 1 Hifonics HFi100.4 4-channel amp Stock alt for now (DC HO SPL 400A when funds come in,currently working on buying this) Stock battery and one Optima Redtop for now (looking at XS batteries) 3 15" Alpine Type R's (aka Swagger Wagon Build 1.0) Swagger Wagon Build 2.0 Youtube Videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingeriffik Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Caps are good tools when used in the correct application. They store energy in high current, and are able to dissipate that energy in an instant. Its like a reservoir. And to people who say capacitors are useless in car audio, look inside your amplifier, count how many capacitor banks there are. <>< Collosians 2:13-14, Philippians 4:13, 1 John 4:7-10 2 - JBL W15Gti 2 - JBL BP1200.1 Knu 1/0 Wiring Kenwood KIV-BT901 Kenwood/Garmin Nav.
