Jbabycsx Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 yes sir, 2 runs from alt to front batt, 1 run from alt to rear batt (s) I would remove the run from the alt to the back and the last battery you installed. Ground your amps to the batteries not the frame. Amps that size with a 220 alt, two batteries and big wires should not be pulling that much from your voltage.

Hostility Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 it wasent in the first place, but i am planning on running my amp down under 1 ohm, next year, so i figured i might as well beef it up now, thats why i added the extra wire, and battery.

Hostility Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 lol i know i know, but i figured this isnt to much of a loss, as it could be used for more applications. and was the cheapest solution other then selling a battery. But i could also sell the battery and still use the vcm, never know, depends on how it all plays out. but i am going against what i said a bit lol.

ACKAWILY Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Is it a possibility that the new battery you got isn't charged or is no good, therefore causes your alternator to work harder trying to charge it?

Hostility Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 well thats what i was thinking at first, but i bought it off a good friend of mine, and he charged it before he gave it to me, and resting voltage after letting my truck sit for 3 days, was still good, the resting voltage actually went up .2 adding the new battery. Also driving conditions are fine, works great, only time it dips down a lot lower is when the bass hits.
