Holden Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 First i need to know Two xs 3400 or 1 3100. Or keep what i have and get sec. Alternator 250amp. Went to my audio shop today and the told me that i need to have another alternator installed and not even worry about getting another battery at all for now with the alt. it wont make it that much better. They said that if i keep my system with a new alt. it will charge the opt. yell. fast enough to keep my system going better then if i got a 3100, they said if had the batt, it would have to play n drain n then keep recharging it to much and would wear the battery quicker. Then they told me if would it would take a while to charge the 3100 back up and would have to drive/rev awhile to get it back fully charge. Would like to have my system be able to play a decent amount before having to stop playing. Would like to hear opinions need to know so i can know if i need to get in on the group buy or get an alternator Quote Chevy Avalanche Z66-BigBlue EditionPioneer AVHX2700BSCheap dont know brand(Front)2 Cadence 6.5"CVL midbass (Rear)2 78 series Autocraft Gold BatteriesStinger Battery Iso.New Mechman 270 amp alternatorLanzar OPTI4000DJbl 75.2DC SoundLab Level 5 18Lots of 1/0 and 4 gauge wiresFew 250/150 amp fusesOriental Blue House of Kolors Candy Paint18" ION alloy 179/Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac 275/70R18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Kicker @2500.1 at 2 ohms/DC Dual 1ohm sub. and a Jbl 75.2 at 4ohms for the doors. Also the shop said upgrade the alt. bc i'm only getting about 30-40 amp at idle.

Holden Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 So if i got a HO alt and keep the yellow top. what batt should i get i think the biggest i could do is the 3400 or the next step up in the other location under the hood. Or should i not mix batteries. Dont want to get 2 new batt. and new alt. already spent alot of $$$ on system would only like to spend about 5 or less?

jmitch Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 For 2.5k a nice alt and 2 batts should do the job. I ran 6K+ watts off of 1 HO alt, and 2 HC2400 batts, and never had a voltage issue... OP you should be fine replacing your current alt with a HO one and 1 battery... Do the Big 3 too and you shouldnt have any issues... How is your voltage now? yeah i ran 6k off of stock alt 2 walmart batts and 2 stinger spv70s and stayed above the red Id do a 220+ amp alt, biggest battery up front and a D2700 or D3100 in the back. yep this will do what u need for what u have!!

Spencerfitch88 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 You could leave the stock alt and the yellowtop the same, add the 3100 to the back to see how it does, if it still has voltage issues go to the HO alt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
