DJ JDub Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 So i had a 2nd battery in the back of my blazer, turns out its shit. so to help my light dimming problem since my system was running off of one battery basically. Could i just buy a bigger battery for the back, or would i still need to get a HO Alternator? let me know thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassheader505 Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 DEPENDS ON WAT KIND OF SYSTEM YOU HAVE RUNNING...OF COURSE GET A BATTERY. WAT DO YOU HAVE? BATTERIES/AMPS/SUBS ETC.. A BIGGER ALT WONT HURT OF COURSE JUST DEPENDS ON YOUR BUDGET! ID KEEP EVERYTHING OFF UNTIL YOU GET SETTLED BECAUSE YOU DONT WANNA HURT YOUR AMP AND EQUIPMENT BRO..SO FOR SURE GET THAT BATTERY, TRY AN HO ALT! GO DC OR MECHMAN OR IRAGGI!!

PEACE BRO LET ME KNOW HOW IT ALL GOES!! Mother of capslock. OP what are you running right now? amps, ohm loads, batteries, alt (I'm assuming stock, but what amperage,) wire, big III, etc. etc. Your fix may be as simple as a ground.

DJ JDub Posted July 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Right now i am running 2-4501 Mtx amps, 4-t5512-44, 2 on each amp wired down to 1 ohm. stock alt which is 110 Amps. New but stock battery in front, was a smaller yellow top in back but thats shit so it wasnt doing anything. No big 3 yet but getting it done asap. All grounds are clean.

Slawsen Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Specs of the amps... If its not over like 1500wrms you should be fine if you get a small xs bat in the back and do big 3 Quote 00' Nissan Xterra Always under construction :] HU: Pioneer DEH3100-UB Mids & Highs: Kicker DS Component Set & Crescendo tweeters Mids & Highs Amp: Rockford 150.2 Subwoofer: 2 DC Audio LV 4 18"s Subwoofer Amp: Hifonics Brutus 2005d you been hanging out with jeff and dustin with that green paint? its yellow so it has to be loud.

DJ JDub Posted July 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 the amps are 500watts rms a piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert8252 Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 With that power one good kinetic or xs under the hood should work for you with the big 3. If you can't fit that big of a battery under you hood than keep the stock one there and get a kinetic 1400. I think that's the right battery I'm thinking of. Check their site. They have them listed by watts. You just need one to handle about 12-1500 watts.

DJ JDub Posted July 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 (edited) Ok thanks everyone for the help, i had this same problem in my previous car and i never solved it, I'm preying that this does it cause i am sick of shoving money into a bullshit problem haha. But i was looking more into the yellow top type batteries what you think of that? (only because they have GM adapters on them) Edited July 10, 2010 by DJ JDub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert8252 Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 I'm not a battery expert so I'll let someone else give more info to you. But I do recommend stay away from yellowtops. They are ok for basic car use but they can't produce the current amplifiers want. They work to an extent but the amp always wants more. That's the point of kinetic and XS batteries. They hold more power and can release it quicker.
