XS Power

battery isolators, do I need one??


Recommended Posts

Ok so I have a brand new 3 month old Everstart Maxx 75N up front and I'm going to put two XS D1200 in the back.

My question is do I need a battery isolator?

And my other question is do I hook my 1/0 wire to the front battery or to the alternator?

No isolator needed. You run 1/0 from your alt to your front batt and then from that front batt to the rear batts.

Ok the isolator in my opinio no. About the 0gauge do the big 3 wich is 0 from battery to alternator and upgrading ur negatives to be specific it explains it better in the electrical section and use 0gaugd from the front to the back batteries

Had an estimate of 6400 for an alpine/clarion setup dealer said it "should" hit around 160db with the custom boxes he was going to make for me..doubtful with so much area to move but, budget is way below that :( any ideas on cheaper brands for that kind of Spl setup? really didnt want to try any Boss or soundstorm, thinking Quantum figure around $150 per speaker "$1800 total" and $1700 to power it, first actual big setup for the van.
