AA98hoe Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 i have 500 amp of alternator a 220 and a 280 iraggi (waiting on trip bracket from dc to run 3)three runs of 0g from front xs2400 to back 3100s i have 3 0g grounds from each baterry to frame front and back and my amps put out 3500 watts at 11.9v into 1ohm. my question is should i run grounds from battery to battery or am i ok going straight to frame like im doing. dom at irragi says to do it the way im doing i just want my amps to put out the most power and have the most voltage. also is my battery combination sufficient i know u guys are going to say go more 3100s in the back but i dont have the space without going underneath the floor of my hoe and i dont have the budget to drop another 6 to 9 hundred on batterys thanks Quote TEAM DC AUDIO VEHICLE:98 chevy tahoe 2wd 3-4 drop HEADUNIT:alpine 9886 PREAMP:arcaudio FRONT STAGE:4-6 1/2s selinium,DD component set and 4-selinium tweeters in each door KICKPANELS:jl audio 5 1/4 REAR DOORS: dd components 6 1/2s HIGHS AMPS:zapco 750.2 on front doors,zapco an another 750.2 on kicks and rear doors SUBS:4-ascendant audio 18s with 5 spiders in a custom box built by KINGSUV SUB AMP: 2-dc7.5s ALTERNATORS: 3-mechmans 1- 425comp, 1-smd spec350, 1-270 with adj voltage harness on custom dc bracket WIRE:10-runs 0g front to back BATTERIES:6-d1400s TL results:157.1 at 38hz and 156.8 at headrest score @37hz.

Nathan @ XSpower Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 If you are running a total of 3500watts then you should be good with the 2400 and 3100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AA98hoe Posted August 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 no im running two amps strapped at .7 they put out 3500plus each so 7000 plus i think im ok i ran it for a few days with one 3100 and my voltage never dropped below 12.6 full tilt the 3100 is a monster. my 4 svr 3000s would drop to 11.9 11.7 Quote TEAM DC AUDIO VEHICLE:98 chevy tahoe 2wd 3-4 drop HEADUNIT:alpine 9886 PREAMP:arcaudio FRONT STAGE:4-6 1/2s selinium,DD component set and 4-selinium tweeters in each door KICKPANELS:jl audio 5 1/4 REAR DOORS: dd components 6 1/2s HIGHS AMPS:zapco 750.2 on front doors,zapco an another 750.2 on kicks and rear doors SUBS:4-ascendant audio 18s with 5 spiders in a custom box built by KINGSUV SUB AMP: 2-dc7.5s ALTERNATORS: 3-mechmans 1- 425comp, 1-smd spec350, 1-270 with adj voltage harness on custom dc bracket WIRE:10-runs 0g front to back BATTERIES:6-d1400s TL results:157.1 at 38hz and 156.8 at headrest score @37hz.
