Guest Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 ok will do on the PM & holy %^@* . 1850 amps of draw ?! so i need 2K + amps on demand ? i dont know why you're so surprised...kind of questions you saying you have been doing 150's for "too long" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korey_hofer Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Hate to thread jack but could anyone answer my round about question? If watts = Amps x Volts, what if i'm running 3 12v batteries? Even though there's 3x 12v batteries, that wouldn't make my equation 85ax36v = 3060w would it? I really hope your not going to run those batts at 36 volts I think you might make some smoke machines Quote previously known as wenn_du_weinst aka fucking internet coward supreme. I talk shit on other forums like a little bitch and hope i don't get caught out on the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dugee81 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Im not sure where you got 15K from, but the XXX6500D's do 6500watts @ 1 ohm, so 4 @ 1 ohm = 26,000. So, @ 14Volts you're looking at approximately 1850 amps of current draw... I think SS rates their amps @ 16V, 6500 @ 16V. Still a hell of a lot of current draw though Quote 200a alt. by Excessive Amperage hc800 under hood & 2 Deka 9a31 in rear 1/0awg + big 3 SAZ 3000D HDC3 18" @ 2 ohm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dugee81 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 5,300 @ 14.4V times 4 = 21,200 watts... So, real close... It is. It is also still a whole ton of current to be pulling, so I would have to agree with other in saying get more batteries than you can count on one hand at the least.

MAXSPL_153 Posted September 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Why agree with others? Why not figure it out or help the OP figure it out, and be EXACTLY right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skittlesRgood Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 GEEZE ! that many batterys ?! i didnt think it would take that much . thanks dub7 for that formula i think ill mess with it and try to comee up with something .. i sent dom an email from irragi and see what he reccommends , but i was just curious on how to figure this out for myself . (if i just keep asking for the answers how will i learn anything) might be a stupid question but are so "many" batterys needed? i kinda was thinking with the alt upgrades 1/amp would have done the trick .. then again ive never ran more than 3 amps and even then i only had 2 aux. batts. dont hold your breath.
